Ok now this is getting bad...... it's OK for one of the Older Members to purchase a box of cuban's and talk about it but not the newbie's. Your basically telling me that no matter what .... MY purchase is a fake just because it was bought in the dominican and because I'm a newbie..... Nice. That inspite of my research on fake cigars and my careful examination of the seals, labels, box and bands in comparison to the pictures of fakes on the net that I have no intelligence whatsoever and that these are 100% fake cigars. That inspite of the professional tocacanists who posted said information about fakes on the net that I am 100% wrong and that my purchase no matter what was of fakes. Hey who am I to argue..... I'm just the new guy, I couldn't possibly have considered that there are fakes being bought and sold each day.
If this is the way that new members or people who are interested in the hobby are treated on this board then I most definatly do not want to be a part of it. I joined this board to meet a few new people who enjoy cigars as I do and to seek more information about them. Instead of a friendly hello welcome to the board I get slammed.... just because I bought a box of cubans which of course are 100% fake because I am a newbie.
