I was offered a box of these for 80 Euro's in a shop in Fuerteventura, the label was in the box and that set the alarm bells ringing

i should have realised they were fakes with the price (70 cuc) a box but me bein dopey thought as they were supposedly from a 'factory worker' i thought they were on a low wage and were selling cheap as they needed the money :s
lesson learned..

17cuc a stick back in Feb for the genuine articule. Still I guess you could have paid a lot more for fakes.

Unless you buy from LCDH outlet they may well be fakes , some people tend to exagerate on labels and minor detail which you can find on genuine articles , if you've been to the factories you'll understand . But the quality of the wrapper used for the Esplendidos was far too veiny . Above all else the cigars from Cohiba always use the best leaf available. All said and done some of [not all] the fakes can smoke and taste ok , not to compare with thier originals . Pass them around at xmas , to the outlaws.

i think il get my dad to try 1 then decide what to do with the other 3 boxes, might even try 1 myself.. then again maybe not, last time i tried smoking anything i nearly choked on it

Remember that with cigars you don't inhale.
