O.K.

I know this guy he is from Miami correct...also he is going to give you the bag that comes with it from the shop he brought it in Cuba.

The price for them is around $250.00

Tell me if this sounds about right?

Sorry, but this is just to funny. I had a guy from Miami come to my store today selling "Authentic Cigars". Had his Catelog and price sheets with him. Lets just say I schooled the lad and ran him off back to Miami.

Miami101, contact me if you want a little fun with the local lad, Maui

Tampa the fakes are out of control down here.....This is big business down here.........Wow the person had a price sheet.... What is the world coming to...

Yea the box in my humi is the fake version..I kept it becuase I like the cigars.....really a very nice smoke...also the smell is very nice on these cigars...

The rest of my Cuban cigars are from Czar, so I know for a fact they are good....I had sent some of these cigars, and the other box to one of the members to completed a review...but he never completed it....

If I have some time this week I will post up the box so everyone can see the kind of work these guys are doing down here... Does anyone have the real box so we can compare....

This is why I only buy Cubans cigars only from Czar....

Couldn´t resist sending an e-mail to a guy over here that is trying to sell three boxes of "Genuine Cuban Cigars" that he have bought on Cuba. Do I need to say that the price requested was quite a bargain?

The pictures he sent back wasn´t that surprising...

More amusing was the response to the question of how he stored the cigars awaiting to be sold:

"The cigars is kept in a refrigerator set at minimum temp accompanied by a wet towel in one corner. One of the boxes is being kept at an opened window by night and in the refrigerator at daytime. The cigars left Cuba in August and are therefore brand new and fresh. You can see the embossed gold on the band that ensures its a genuine cuban cigar."

Needless to say: I passed on this one. :-P

LOVING how high up the goverment seal is on this sweet box of cubans!!:-D

[Miami101]

If he is not from Miami I know where it came from:

Note for fakes they smoke pretty good....they are not real. I have a box of these at home, and at one time had two of them. I smoke one of them....The smokes all on the top of the box are great...second level that start to be not so great....

The way you can tell this box is not real is the front of the box: Note this is just a sample....I will take photos of my box....When you see it you would not be able to tell the difference......

If this is what I think it is.....the labels are real also.........The box is next to perfect..why because these guys use to work in Cuba @ the factory.....

If these guys would make a band I would buy it...because the smokes are pretty good, and very close to the real thing
