    Done. My vote is counterfeit. Kevin, what was your assessment?

    IIRC My assessment was that I couldn't tell if the were fake or not. I think they were old and the cubatobacco seal was legit. I enjoyed mine and since then I have a couple of old assed Cubans that smoked similar. Remember that through the years Cuba made a lot of cigars and all were not rolled by grade 9 rollers making every cigar look like a SigloVI. I have some hella old stuff that seems a lot different than they did in the early 90S,neither better of worse just different.

    I finally tried one of these yesterday... and it was a turd. Maybe I got the runt of the litter, but yeah, bad. It burned fairly consistently but the draw was horrendous. This surprised me because the cigar was still a bit dry and crispy, esp the wrapper. The taste was just a blah kind of tobacco flavor, no real character or defining tastes to it. They look cool in the humidor, and that's about it. Thanks KB for trying to resurrect these and for giving me these latest two. I will think of you now, as you've read my review, reacting in this manner..
