No idea what is happening

Yes, absolutely the right thing to do. Even though you told her up front to buy ONLY from a LCDH, the bottom line is she was trying to do something nice for you so you graciously accept them and smoke them. I hope in your case they can indeed be smoked which is not the case with the guy who started this thread.

I'm hoping they're smokable too. If not, she'll never find out from me! I'll know soon enough, she's back tomorrow afternoon.

Just remember to deep-freeze possible fakes to kill the inevitable beetle eggs.

I never thought about that. Thanks for the reminder. I have a couple cigar bags and humi packs. I'll pop them in one while looking them over and trying one. If they're smokable, I'll freeze em for a few days (guess I could just stick them outside too.........LOL) before sticking sticking them in my humi with the rest of my meager stash.

If she remebers the name of the Tobacco shop in Playa del Cramen, I can give you the odds on weather or not it's real. I would guess that if it is fake it's smokeable. It's the shit you buy on the street or beach that you need to watch out for. I've bought many fakes ( knowing they where fake) for $5.00 each. they are all Mexican tobacco ( they don't have access to dominican tobacco) in fact outside of Cubans you can not get anything but Mexican cigars in Mexico. You could not get a Dominican cigar if you life depended on it in Playa del Carmen or Cancun for that matter.

All I know for sure at the moment is she did buy them in a shop. I'll ask her if she remembers the name when she gets back but I'd wager she doesn't. I know they went through many different stores that day.........lol. If she does remember I'll check that PM from you which listed the names of the reputable places and see if it's in your list. If not, well, I'll just try one and see how I like it........lol
