Call me a noob..

I feel stupider for not being able to explain that I am not as stupid as I sound. I know that there are Cohibas and such that aren't real Cubans. I just saw "Legal Cubans" and thought "really?" more confused by there advertising than anything else.

I've smoked a fair share of Cohibas and RP "Cuban Blends" and no better than to thin that they are legit.

Nah, no need to feel stupid Ethan, you came across loud and clear. I think most of us knew what you meant, and a number of us answered as such.

Bob and I weren't laughing at you buddy, just the marketing claims behind certain cigars mentioned later in the thread.

QFT. For those that are curious it would be best to do some research on cigars such as the Pinar 3000 and the outlandish claims behind them.

To the OP, the education regarding Cuban cigars and "cuban heritage" or "cuban seed" is something every cigar smoker encounters and overcomes at some point. We have all been through it before. We try to advise in a manner which conveys humor and lightheartedness to this sensitive subject. Marketing is a powerful tool often easily overpowering truth and honesty.
