Edwhatever Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 If only real cubans were shrink wrap sealed. Cigars would be very fresh. Then again you'll nevr know whats in them when your purchasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beamer Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Seems cruel to publicly shame these people, both here and on Instagram, when many of these cigars were apparently given as gifts and with, I assume, good intention. I wonder if there may be a more gentlemanly way of helping people learn about cigars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bclass1 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 13 Box of Gran Reserva Hiro, Nice job pointing out the box count. As many with the untrained eye would completely fall for this example bc of the "masked" quality of the cigars, paperwork, cigars, etc. Even someone who's been smoking "Cubans" for quite some time. It's one of the best looking GR Counterfeits I've seen and with being in the states, I've seen quite a few. Just a word to my fellow BOTL, you can never stop learning this in's and out's of this business with all the black and grey market supply out there...a thread like this, as comical and blatant as it is, can still be useful..

I wonder if there may be a more gentlemanly way of helping people learn about cigars. When I started this thread, it was by no means intended to belittle anyone. If nothing else, all I can hope is at least one person might be educated into avoiding a purchase of a suspicious cigar. I have been on Instagram since it's inception, and really made an effort to try and help people, and I was met with ignorance and hostility, so I quit. Now I will "like" their pics and hope they stumble on my feed and see what the real ones are supposed to look like. I answer any cigar related questions (except sources) and try my best to assist however I can to fellows that enjoy and share my beloved hobby. I feel no guilt having a good chuckle while looking at the pics, but I leave no comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hiro, that's right. There are 2 layers (13+12). ;-) Hiro, that's right. There are 2 layers (13+12). ;-) Dammed, I fell for this and was going to post about the fallacy of a 25 count box of Cohiba GR..... OK, see now that Oliver means 13+12 = 25 in irony ... uff !!

Hiroshiro Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 It is really not my intention to shame them I'm trying to help. Now I have a couple more guys helping and forwarding them to mycigarsite and cubancigarwebsite. The Problem is that a fake Cohiba my have some harmful ingredients and it would be bad for these people to get sick because of some bad people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alawadi9 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 lol that Behike carboard pack is crazy!
