Imitation NCs?

padron 1926 prices in germany: no6/corona: 30€, no9/robusto:45€ + no.1/churchill 50€.
I think its hard to find counterfeit over here because we dont have a big black market for cuban cigars like you do in the united states. the b+ms have to sell the cigars at a predetermined price.
The target of fakes are usually people that rarely smoke cigar and want to demonstrate that they are smoking something expensive. They are smoking the band and not the cigar. i think that most of these people are going to buy a cohiba or montecristo and not a nc cigar.
I think the market for faked nc cigars is bigger in the us because most people know the big brands like padron and the prestige that goes a long with smoking one is higher.
i think most fakes are sold at tourist destinations. I wouldnt be surprised to find fakes in spain, mexico, the caribbeans.
