Cuban fakes

[Callum]

Any easy way of telling a fake? I bought some RyJ No2's dodgy in Cuba the other month. Go easy on me I'm new to cigar smoking!!

If you did not buy them from a proper shop they are fake no question post a pick but. That way you will get pointers on how to tell

Just posted a picture I know I'm no expert, far from it, however I have legit ones and knock off ones and I cant taste a difference.

If you bought them 'dodgy' in Cuba then you already know they're fake, and given the prices for legit cigars in Cuba, why did you buy cheap fakes?

[Zigatoh]

Then again, if you can't taste the difference then why do you care?

the point is , if you buy them off the street, the people rolling them will have all sorts of bands to put on them, so you will have RyJ , Bolivar, ETC all with the same tobacco , can't tell the difference,maybe try a real Cuban and let the street sellers carry on untill you get a box full of beetles

Sorry, I thought the point was he bought fake ryj, and legit, and to him they tasted the same? Y'know, as per what he said in his post...

I don't buy off the street but that looks a perfectly acceptable R&J, if it smokes well then you got some decent cheap smokes. Just don't try to sell them on to those who know better
