Cuban Cigar Bands....

who cares if someone else thinks you're smoking a real cuban or a fuente?...You still know you're smoking a fuente. I couldn't care less if my cigar has a band on it or not if I know I am enjoying it. seems like you smoke cigars for the wrong reason.

A cigar should be thought of as an experience, not a status symbol.

I like that quote!

why dont you just buy real habanos instead of being dishonest about it?

As a new member I am only just trawling through the huge amount of posts on this website and this one particularly caught my attention. I think that any endorsement of the production of fakes (whatever these may be, cigars, fashion items or else) is a really sad state of affair. Why could one possibly want to pretend he/she is smoking a real Partagas, Cohiba or else if they are not?

What is the point of going through the hassle of making your own glue to stick a fake label on a cigar?? To what purpose? I am really baffled by this.

Fakes cigars are a plague brought onto the cigar world. Any activity that encourages this is at best irresponsible, at worse totally stupid. There. Rant over.

Much along the same line of thinking I had...

I wasn't going to say anything, but now that you brought it up....

i agree the bands are pretty stupid, but i think the cohiba hat they have on there is pretty cool. to bad it is sold out and i'm not a hat person.

Why the hell would you buy from justfakes!?! I'm amazed that you think this is cool. Myself, and many other members here would be able to tell right away that you were smoking a fake just by looking at it...it makes you look bad!

Now get up off your butt and go buy a real cigar.

I haven't seen the hats but merchandising is a whole different affair!! Some of it is gorgeous. I want a Cohiba ashtray!!!!!!!! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

After living in Japan and currently visiting South America, I can say that I've smoked a few Cubans. However, as much as smoking a true Cuban is a wonderful experience, smoking a good cigar is a wonderful experience. Smoking a good Cigar with a bro and shooting the shiznit, is a awesome experience. Just enjoy the Cigar, regarless of were it was made.
