The C is also different on two of them. Not sure if that means anything but on one the loop thing goes through the c (the one on the drink) then on the authentic one in the picture it doesnt swoop through the bottom of the C. If that makes any sense. I am talking about the part that says Cuba.

I remember enjoying Royal Jamaica cigars a number of years ago, but heard the factory burned down and they are now made in the Dominican Republic and haven't tried them since.

Now seeing what you guys are saying - you have me worried that maybe I also fell prey. Mexico - Cancun, went to market 58, pretty sure they were fake ( 5 in a wood box w glass top ). They were not terrible but you could tell there was something off. Ended up going to LCDH and over paying but hey - sometimes its worth the peace of mind. What do you all think?

While the experts are in here, this was given to me by a Cuban American that brought them back when he visited. Legit?

That Limitada is fake. 08 was the Sublime, not a torpedo tipped cigar.

David, who manages the LCdH in Cancun, is a solid guy.

I own a condo in Negril and have been going there many times a year for 5 years and have not found a legit cuban cigar yet(They might exist but are very hard to find). There is a place on fantasy strip in mobay called the the habana club that is a very nice bar. I quite often go in there and have a couple drinks and enjoy a cigar(brought from home). I do suggest checking it out. The atmosphere is great and they have a walk in humidor. That might be your best bet on finding a real Cuban. good luck, have fun & dont let them hustle you.
