Yeah it was from a 10 box variety. Real thin so it's not complex
Like bigger gauges but still was great and had the classic cohiba twang.

Not to be a drag but, Cohiba bands have three rows of dots above the name. Yours shows only two.

Its a different band altogether. Its so small that the word cohiba gos around the entire stick. I guess it would be classified a cigarello. But the taste was for sure the same as cohiba. Pretty much the same as the esplendidos. The fishy thing about em is I cannot locate them online. They were called selectos. So they could be fakeys which would be fine cause the taste is definitely there. I had an esplendido churchill last week and this was same without the complexity

edit: Then again perhaps the esplendidos where fake too, they were free and the source wasnt someone Id call 100% honest lol. I know that they had 2 rows above the band as well but the guy had them for awhile so could have been older when they made them with 2 rows. I have a siglo 4 and a lancero that are for sure real. Those do have 3 rows above the name and the guy lives in cuba so makes it easier lol. Ill have to smoke one of them to compare.

But honestly the esplendido and the mini where both very very good when smoked.

And, of course, cigars acquired under such circumstances would not make good candidates for trades / passes etc.

I would say not. However I will trade you 3 fake cigars and eddie lacy for 1 shark

Oh, boy... That sure has bad written all over it. Please don't be trading that or passing them out. That would cause an uproar.

I'm not sure what Cohiba 'twang' you're speaking about, but I sure am awfully suspicious if you taste legit Cohiba with that cigar.
