Real or Fake Cuban with pic

[FatSmoker]

Let me preface this by saying that I am a fairly new smoker and don't have any experience authenticating Cuban cigars. That said there is a great website that I've been reading whenever I have a question regarding the history of Cuban cigars.

There are pictures of this cigar on their website, and they match what you have posted on first glance. Doesn't mean they're real, but at least the wording checks out. Apparently these were machine made, a pre-1960 release and were discontinued in 2003.

Some pics they have of the tube and band

Hope that helps, and gives you some hope

Thanks, that helps quite a bit. I really wouldnt have guessed. I think I'll sit on it for awhile now. Im not sure that after its many years of aging that it will be anything special anyways.

You know, it looks quite real.

Even if it is real, it's a cheap machine made cigar. hardly worth the effort.
