Yeah, i`m done with this section of the forum. Do not like being called a liar by a person who was not there. On friday i had a couple SF buddies over, i showed them the reply by the member here, they just started laughing.
It`s too easy for a person to sit behind a key board and create an image of themself on a forum to other members, i don`t play that game and have no time for others that do, so i will not get caught up in the other members game.

This is strange after Maty's last post. I feel like giving a quick recap. Initially, you said you bought a Cohiba at a time that was before Cohiba was even available to the public. As maty has explained, Cohiba started in the late 60s as a private brand for Fidel Castro, but didn't become available to the general publicly until 1982. That sets off a red flag for obvious reasons, due to, at best, an obvious mistake about the brand name. Then, you explain that you found a wrapper, from 40 years ago (roughly, if I understand the reference correctly).
Nonetheless, Maty comes back and pleasantly welcomes you to the forum, thanks you for the story, and expresses an interest in your car and cigar collection, etc. Then you come back with this.

Cohiba is the flagship brand of
Habanos.
It was created in 1966 for President Fidel Castro himself and was made at the then top secret but now world famous
El Laguito factory. At first, it was only seen outside
Cuba as gifts for heads of state and visiting diplomats.
Since 1982
Cohiba has been available in limited quantities to the open market.
The name is an ancient Taino Indian word for the bunches of tobacco leaves that Columbus first saw being smoked by the original inhabitants of Cuba — the earliest known form of the cigar.
The leaves for
Cohiba are the “selection of the selection” from the five finest Vegas Finas de Primera in the San Juan y Martinez and San Luis zones of the
Vuelta Abajo region.
Uniquely amongst
Habanos two of Cohiba’s filler leaves, the seco and ligero, undergo a third fermentation in barrels, which adds smoothness to the blend.
There are two distinct Lineas (Lines) of Cohiba: the medium to full flavoured Linea Clasica introduced between 1966 and 1989; and the medium flavoured Linea 1492 brought out in 1992 to mark the 500th Anniversary of Columbus’s epic voyage of discovery. Ten years later in 2002, a new size, the Siglo VI, was added to the Linea 1492.
All sizes of
Cohiba are "totalmente a mano, tripa larga" — totally hand made, long filler.
Flavour Ranking: Medium to Full (LÃnea Clásica) and Medium (LÃnea 1492).
