If they are capable of putting out a cigar that's as good as your review makes it sound, Why not make an original name and band for it. I loved your review but I would not buy this cigar due to it's blatant Cohiba rip off.

You mean unlike the Cohiba, Partagas, HdM, H Upmann, Trinidad, San Cristobal, etc. NC brands?

Cohiba, the brand, has always been owned by the communist government in Cuba.

Upmann, HdM, RyJ, and Partagas are in a different boat as these companies and their brands were stolen by Castro from their rightful owners.

I do not know if the companies producing these with NC tobacco have purchased the trademark/names from their rightful owners or not. If they have, they have more of a right to the name than the communist government in Cuba.

I do agree that stealing the Cohiba name is lame.

I can't wait to watch the frenzy over brand names once the embargo is eventually lifted.
