#1 Cubans are different than non-cubans, not better or worse. My tastes have gravitated towards Cuban cigars, but I still enjoy plenty of other cigars as well.

#2- What tobacco do they use when making counterfeit Cubans? Just wondering..

Are you asking what kind of methods, materials, and procedures counterfeiters use when they are illegally producing cigars?

To my knowledge, I have not sampled many counterfeits. My commen sense tells me, someone unscrupulous enough to "counterfeit" a product would use the most inexpensive means available to produce a counterfeit and make the greatest profit-i.e. the cheapest chit around.

"Farm Rolled Cigars" referrred to above are another story and not sold as counterfeits.
