Cuban Cigar Bands....

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'm guessing maybe he/she works for them and is advertising the site

Excellent point. the average person doesn't know that much about Cohibas or Trinidads. To buy a fake in order to impress someone who "knows" is just to ask to be found out and derided. Then again, this company is probably just concerned with selling fake bands and making off with the money.

That stat is from some on the internet sites I have researched. I was the one that found just fakes.com I was really considering buying cuban cigars. So I did my homework on how the seal should look and the box. Also with that came the bands. There is alot of internet sites that sell cuban cigars. When I found just fakes.com the seals were perfect. The bands were perfect. The holograms were even right on.
At that point I realized that it was not worth the risk to buy Cubans online.

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

I get the pleasure to enjoy beautiful Cuban cigars while I am in my house in the Dominican Republic. I have to tell you, Dominican Cohibas are excellent smokes. when I am in America, I smoke Dominican Cohibas that I bring back from the Dominican Republic. It's better to

smoke Dominican Cohibas and be real instead of a dumb fuente with a Cuban Band that is problably a fake band as well. People are suck

idiots.

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.

gamehumper is one of their best customers

These guys otta be strung up by their nuts and anyone who buys this crap should be strung up along side them. There's a word what these guys are doing, it called RIPPING PEOPLE OFF!

Every time some scumbag buys this shit and then sells the cigars to people as real Cubans, some stupid asshole shows up on a cigarboard popping off about how lousy Cuban cigars are becasue his own ego or just stupid pig ignorance will not let him admit that he has been RIPPED OFF.
