Got any fake Cuban cigars?

[moki]

I'm setting up a Fake Cuban cigars reference on my site (yes, the infamous diagram is there heh). If you have any pictures of fake Cuban cigars that you'd care to contribute, please email them to andrew@AmbrosiaSW.com

If possible, please take a picture of the fake cigar or band next to the real deal; people do much better discerning things they see side by side. Also list the obvious tell-tale signs that the cigar is fake.

Thanks in advance for anyone who wishes to help.

I still have that Partagas cigar that that one guy who claimed he sailed to cuba to deliver medical supplies.

You want a pic of that?

I have 2 Monte Robusto EL's I can let you have.

Let me know if you want them and I'll put them in the mail

 

[moki]

Yep, any and all pics welcome, if you can take the picture next to the real thing, that would be ideal... as would the enumerated list of irregularities compared to the real deal.

I have one I am sure is fake I am planning to bring to the upcoming Baltimore herf. Will send a pic after that.

Unfortunately, I don't have any of the real Monte robusto's. All I can offer up are the fakes to you Moki.

Send me your addy if you want them for research.

I will send the pictures of PSD4 vs fake PSD4 as soon as I get home. Out of town in Chicago until later this week. I knew they would come in handy for someone. I would have to superimpose the quarter though. :laugh:
