Yeah, my thinking was about the same, except reverse. I was going to ask how the "smoke" compared, but I'm not sure the fake is gonna burn too well.

The filler and Binder don't look too bad IMHO. I pulled apart a certain highly respected NC manufacturers stick a couple weeks ago and it looked a lot worse than what I am seeing in your pics. Definitely a fake but not nearly as bad as I would have expected.

Not if you have seen the crap found in fakes that many of us have.

Seconded. I smoked a fake one back in October - well, more like took one puff of it before throwing it in the ashtray in disgust - and never again. The flavor can best be described as dried leaves and rotten wood shavings being burned in a hobo's underwear.

You just don't see enough references to "hobos" anymore.

Well played

That's because Hobo is offensive to hobos.

Scientific studies show that "hobo" is 4x funnier than "bum" and 125x funnier than "homeless person".

Nice write up! I recently cruised thru the Caribbean, with fake Cohiba's waved in my face in every port. We took no chances and hit the LCDH in Aruba. Pricey, but excellent!

Disclaimer: All purchased Cuban cigars were smoked while at sea, and not brought back into the US, of course.

Good thing, Cuban cigars spontaneously combust upon reaching American soil.
