    At least, since you purchased them in Cuba, they're likely made of Cuban tobaccos... So they're not technically fake Cubans.. just fake COHIBAS!

    I say smoke them, if you enjoy them, then it's not a total loss. Just please be sure not to distribute or trade them in any way except to that A-hole neighbor or father-in-law.

    Like everyone has mentioned thus far, they do seem to be fake. I would say so just by looking at the placement of the band on the cigar, I'm pretty sure the real one are a little higher up towards the end of the cigar.
    If I can't smoke because smoking will kill me then life isn't worth living.

    I may be wrong about this, but isn't there a higher risk of getting beetles with the fake ones? Just in case, I'd be keeping those seperate from my other smokes...

    This is a reasonable suspicion and a very good tip.
