Cuban Fakes: They're getting better!!

[PeeJay]

I have heard that nearly all Cubans sold in the DR are fakes regardless of where bought. May still be decent smokes though.

[Puff Scotty]

Don't want to be a wet blanket, but, yes; they are most likely fakes..Huge amount of DR fakes as well as Cubans there..

Couldn't you dissect one and check what there like might be some average long filler with a cuban band on the hike up the price

Question
If someone had been on holiday and bought some Cuban cigars in the DR would they likely be fakes ?
The have also bought DR cigars at the same shop
The cigars in question are RYJ churchills bought 10 years ago

I had no idea there would be such a huge amount of knock of cigars around. What's the most faked Cuban?

Must be Cohiba no?

[DannyBoy]

Must be Cohiba no?

I had thought that simply because it may be the most well known brand?

[Sean]

Must be Cohiba no?

I'd say that also might aswell fake the on average most expensive CC

Cohiba esplendido

[ValeTudoGuy]

All I know is that if I was a counterfeiter, I would be making Monte No2, No4, Party D4 and Hoyo Epi No2's

[DannyBoy]

I would be knocking out cuelebras, they wouldn't event have to be that well rolled yet the novelty factor would push them off my upturned crate in the Dominican sunshine

[butternutsquashpie]

Aye. The esplendido it is.
So counterfeited that people don't know what real is anymore. They hook themselves off that and the ignorance of the masses to continue selling.

I would have expected it to be Montes, aren't they the best selling brand?

[Simon Bolivar]

Yes PJ, but they are cheaper & the tourists trying to pick a bargin are looking for maximum return. They might only dble their money on the Montes but could treble it on the Cohibas. Just need to find some punter who knows even less about Havanas than they do. Theres plenty out there!
