Counterfeit cigars -- a new category on Vitolas.net, with two albums in it, the most interesting of which is Counterfeit Cubans: Exposed!, a CSI-esque investigation of fake Habanos by Wilkey Wong (aka "Ginseng").

As per usual, remember to click on each image to see the detailed info/description. Ginseng goes into excruciating detail on all of his investigations.

Hope it's helpful. Ginseng will be adding to it on a regular basis; his stash of fake Habanos is truly fearsome. :)
 
Great to see this on Vitolas. Wilkey did a hell of a job and Andrew's site just became that more educational to any one new to habanos. I can't wait to see more. :thumbs:

Thanks for the information. I read an article that said that the Canadian authorities who deal in fake Cubans say that over 60% of Cubans sold in Canada can be fake. Buyer beware!! :thumbs:
 
That's great! Looking forward to seeing what Wilkey thinks about the ones I sent him.

They'll be part of a major workup on counterfeit tubos. Your specimens are instrumental to that analysis. Thank you again for sharing them with me.

Would be willing to share some ERDM's I obtained not too long ago that I'm fairly certain are the equivalents of....ass and shit...rolled up and banded with ERDM labels. PM me your addy - would be glad to share.

Wilkey -

Shipped them out this morning. You should have gotten the DC in your "inbox." One thing I should mention as well, the warranty seal on the box in which they came is a little suspect as well (as if the sticks weren't bad enough). Looking forward to getting your take on these.
