Real Cuban?

08-09-2012, 02:45 PM

I got this cigar about a year ago and I wanted to know if it was real?

If anyone knows about Cuban counterfeits, please help me out.

Where did you get it? What does the box look like? Have you smoked Cubans before? How much did you pay for it?

It's pretty hard to tell just from posting a picture of the band.

I got it from one of the guys at my local cigar lounge. I only bought two of them so i dont know how the box looks like, and I payed $50 for both of them.

photos of the entire cigar, the head , the foot included is a good place to start if you want help.

however, it may be inconclusive unless there are blaring problems. You would have to smoke it to be sure.

I have seen some that appeared to be fake, obvious warning signs. Your's do not have the same warning signs, doesn't mean much though. Listen to Mark and compare info at Cubancigarwebsite!!!

If that's all the band has on it, then definitely fake. Here is a picture of the real band. There are pretty decent fake bands out there too... pretty hard to tell from your pictures.

Are they 52s, 54s 0r 56s? $25 each is a pretty low price for legit Behikes, especially the bigger the RG.

I also don't know the size. I think it was a 52 but it was almost a year ago.

icehog3 · 08-09-2012, 03:39 PM

So you already smoked it a year ago?

Yea I smoked it almost a year ago. If its real I want to pick up more, I just dont want to waste money on fakes.

icehog3 · 08-09-2012, 03:44 PM

Well if you already smoked it, did you enjoy it?
Was it worth the price payed?
If you answered yes to both of those questions, then buy more!

Did you enjoy it a year ago? Did you feel you got your money's worth? Can you afford to spend $25 for a cigar? Then, IMHO, what does it matter if it is "real" or "fake"? Bragging rights?

, but that's just how I feel.
