Though I was given some Monte #2's in the Caribbean that were definitely fake and smoked incredibly well. I just wished I knew exactly where to get a consistent source of those cigars - they were definitely cheaper than the real ones, and smoked like a dream. Not the same characteristics as a real Monte #2, but definitely very much made from good quality Cuban tobacco.
There's a good chance it was fake. I suppose the rum punch fog probably didn't help my authentication efforts. I'll need to track another #2 down, for comparison sakes of course!
