This is such a complex topic. I had no idea that " Grey market itself is not an indication of fakes."

A nasty bit of business for poor cigar smokers like us. Oh well, stick with a government store, when in Cuba.

AND....

Reasearch and learn as much as possible concerning your ability to identify the REAL thing!

This is the best bit of information I've seen on this site yet!!

Bravo!

Trevor,

Will this be added over at Cubancigarwebsite?

Yes it will. The intention will also be to add images to make it a complete work.

Trevor,

I'd be interested to know more specific information on the distribution channels. Anyone have a link with a break down of this?

Rob did a post on this some time back. I did a quick search but could not locate it.....I'm sure someone will.
