Counterfeit Cuban Cigars
It seems you can never good consistant information regarding Cuban cigars. Most cigar shops have Cuban cigars for sale, yet how do you tell if they are legit?
Well, you need to look at the box and the cigars first. Look for the factory code, and also the boxed date "burned" on the bottom of the box. How do the cigars look? They hould be presented well, with the cigars with the darkest wrapper of the box on the top left. They should smell Cuban. Earthy, leathery. If you have ever smelled a box of Cubans you know the smell to look for.
Lastly, do you trust your tobacconist? There are a lot of fakes being sold out there. The Cubans are even rolling grey market cigars themselves I have heard. You can get some very good cigars these days, why worryabout counterfeit goods when you can smoke a Padron or Fuente?
