Spotting Fakes

Regarding all the info above....remember, this IS Cuba we are talking about. Some discrepancies do not automatically signal fakes. I have seen tons of them on legitimate cigars...buy at an LCdH, and you should have no worries.

Man, do I know what you are talking about Tom.
I recall when I couldn't prove my legitimacy as some discrepancies were clearly evident.
Don't know how true it was but they told me that the old "finger you know where" test would resolve it so I went along with it.
That was not the bad part. What go me worked up and worried is when I felt the person's two hands on my shoulders as the test was being performed.

Oh, wait, wrong Cuban legitimacy test.

Thanks Admiral.

I think the LCdH is the way to go. I would rather know I'm getting quality sticks than cheap knock offs.

Thanks again everyone.
