    ENJOY!
    With the exchange rate, the cohiba was about $37 and the Montecristo was about $21.

    Yeah, that's about what they'd cost here in Canada too. We pay about 3 times as much as you would in the US.

    Oh well, if you're abroad you have to pay what you have to pay.

    Yea, I dont even have access to anything cuban so as a rare treat, its worth it to spend a few extra bucks for something I cant have under normal circumstances

    Sometimes it's best not to indulge in "rare treats". Especially those two cigars...

    Thanks for the offer, but I have way more cigars than I'll smoke in my lifetime. You enjoy them.

    The two cigars you've chosen appear to me to be legit. and both are fantastic cigars. there's no doubt you'll burn the crap out of your fingers smoking them...

    that said.. As those are the two most counterfeited cigar brands in the world, chances are very good the next Cuban Cohiba's and Montecristo's you purchase will be fake. And with very rare exception, the fakes generally suck.

    1x Box of Camacho Corojo 10th Anniversary 11/18
    9x Camacho Corojo 10th Anniversary 11/18
    20x 601 Serie La Bomba Napalm
    5x San Lotano Oval Maduro Toro

    I was able to pick up another box of the Camachos in the torpedo vitola back in December. I've now got a nice stock of these bad boys! I'll smoke through the 9 singles and let the rest age......I think, might not be able to keep my hands off 'em! I have to say, these and the Avo LE 2011, are some of the best cigars I have smoked in the last few years.
    Yay! Cigars!

    Yea, I did a whole bunch of googleing on what to look for in fakes before I purchased and they looked legit based on all the photos of real vs fake and obvious signs of fakes I could find. Cant wait to light em up in a few weeks!
