I'm pretty new to this but I looked at a lot of info on this subject when I was researching a friends cubans that the got as a tip as a caddy(they were real). As people have said, these are fakes. First thing to look at is the band. There is way too much extra at the bottom, under the "habana, cuba" part. Furthermore, most recent cuban cohiba's I've seen have had the "Cohiba" part slightly raised with a goldish metallic color, just like the real band posted by one of the previous posters.
