Default Re: Authenticity!

Last year I had a fake Esplendidos that was very good. The cigars pictured appear to be very well constructed with very nice wrappers. If you have already purchased them I would burn one to see how it tastes. If you notice off flavors, then I would carefully cut it open and perform an analysis of the filler and binder. Bad fakes such as those that come in glass top boxes will be filled with all sorts of trash.
