The thing i noticed is the bottom of the C in Cuba. When the lower curlicue goes through the letter it's a foogayzee ( spelling)
I would say if that is the case it is a very good fake. Everything else about it seems to indicate that it is real. It has an incredibly great smell. The Cohiba label seems correct as far as color and embossing. The limited edition label is also embossed most of the fakes they are not. The triple cap on the cigar as well as the shape, firmness and overall look.

The fill and roll is way off, could tell you it's fake even w/o that laughable EL band. Sorry bruh.

Sounds like @doolyd wants it to be real, but it is not. I agree with @Merovius, roll is way off, and I went through a box and a half (split) starting in '05.

Don't feel terrible, probably the most faked EL of all time.

It doesn't matter to me if it is real or fake. I just wanted to see what the experts had to say.

Since it has been determined fake, I should also note, the 2004 was not embossed like the Limited Edition was.

How did I know it was fake? It was posted on an internet cigar forum in a thread asking if it was real or fake ;) :D

Probably 95%+ of these threads end up the same way.
Yep b/c if you have experience with CC then you wouldn't be asking.

Understood. Though if I had another one, I would want it to be real. :)
Yeah, I bought two (15$/each) one for a buddy who is more into cigars than I am so it would have been nice if they were real but at least I didn't buy a box; I guess that is what I meant as to why I didn't really care. I knew enough to know they were most likely fake but not enough to turn them down. Call it a learning experience and is why I don't normally bother with CC, this just enforces it. I don't have enough experience to mess with them nor feel the more difficult channels are worth pursuing. I am still going to smoke the other, hey it maybe cuban leaf. o_O

Stick around for a while and read up on the forums, you'll learn a lot in due time.

Hopefully it's still a nice smoke. The pricetag alone screams fake, these are more in the area of $100 apiece at this point.
