These won't leave me, I'll smoke one once it warms up a little and will probably smoke my way through them if the first one is nice.

Construction looked pretty good. Wonder how they'll smoke!!

Thanks for the dissect job. I did the same thing with some fake Cohiba's in a glass top

The bands do indeed look legit, too, so...

there may be a fair amount of ingredients in this 'product' that fell out of the correct factory.

My cigar noob friends thought they were smoking some real cohiba's... they couldn't tell the difference between their bands and my real band!!!

The fake bands have gotten decidedly better in recent years (desktop publishing trickle-down, I imagine), but (to my knowledge) it's still very rare to seen clean embossing like these have on a fake band.

Just a quick update... I've smoked two now with another legit RyJ for comparison...

They were flat tasting with little or no usual Cuban flavor profile.

Probably just cheap Dominicans. Sorry to hear of your gift bombing, but this happens all the time, you are not alone. lol
