A friend of mine brought back a box of cigars from the Dominican Republic when he went there on vacation. He doesn't smoke cigars, so he's forgiven for this:

As you can see, not only are they not premium smokes, but within about 2 weeks, they developed these little holes....before the bug problem was obvious, I tried to smoke one....yuck! spongy and tasteless...like burning an old rag.

The box looks very authentic, with the labels and all. My understanding from doing some web research, is that Cohiba has never used this packaging (10 cigars in a wooden box with a glass top). I don't know what my friend paid, but I did keep the box as a souvenir.

cheers,

My roommate went to the domincan and brought back a box of Fohiba esplendidos in a glasstop that was just FULL of bugs. The RyJs he brought back tasted decent though they were also blatant fakes.
