Cohiba - Cuba


The Genuine Article (for reference)
 
Counterfeit purchased in the Dominican Republic

Where do we begin with this band? After you tear your eyes from the canary yellow color, you might notice that the squares aren't all square (they're not even all the same size) and the gold is not embossed and is a cruder shade than what it should be. Then there's that horrible font used for the "Habana, Cuba" on the bottom. The half-hearted attempt also doesn't have the "La" in front of "Habana." The cigar is one of the infamous Cohiba Crystals, cigars packaged in glass- (or Lucite-) topped boxes. There is no genuine Cuban cigar packed in such fashion.
