That's the difference between Canada and Mexico, one of them anyway, lol.
In Canada, you can wander outside of a LCDH and find authentic cuban cigars.
In Mexico you can't do that. There may be stores where Mexican connoisseurs can get
smokes that are real, but they are not near you. Your area is dedicated to money removal
from the gringo set. You have to operate under the most strict set of policies in Mexico.
There is almost no chance you got the real deal. They may really be cigars. They may really
be good Mexican tobacco. They may be sitting in a real box. But they are fake. What's more,
it might actually be better to pay 5 bucks each for them and KNOW you got fakes than to spend
60 bucks and not be sure. Especially since they are fake. But if you can enjoy them, you
should enjoy them and your vacation. I would venture to say everyone on this board has
purchased a fake havana cigar.
