Randy, when I was at Sandals in Nassau I bought 3 Esplendidos that I knew were fake. Talked the guy down from $20 each to 3 for $15. They may not have been Cubans, but they were a good smoke for $5, and I knew what I was getting. So it's not to say you can't find some decent smokes, just know and pay for what you are actually getting.
