Not mine someone I know got it for a gift. I did some quick searching but wasn't able to find anything like it so I was thinking a fake or my internet searching abilities were lacking.

Those leather humidors are a dead give away to those beeing fakes. Like a glass top box of Cohiba.

Cuba is rustic, not careless. Dead giveaways for fakes are cigars that look uneven (height, width, symmetry, etc), packaging that doesn't PERFECTLY fit it's cigars and improper use of seals/stamps. The Habanos chevron is required to be applied at a 45 degree angle.

Plus, that leather jar looks more third world than anything. If it looks goofy or careless, chances are, it is.

Sorry Gale but those cigars are dead giveaway fakes the complete variation in color of those wrappers especially on ea. individual cigar is way to obvious. See how the wrapper gets lighter and darker on the cigar itself that would never happen in cuba.

I'm trying to figure out the poster in the background. Pro- or anti- Obama? I see Sarah Palin's name in there too and "WTF".
Look closer, it's not a poster; it appears to be the "Closed Captioning" on a television set....and from the looks of it, it's a Chris Rock standup routine.

To answer the question as to where you can buy them. The answer is Mexico or any tourist spot in Central America.

They actually sell those leather drums in Cuba. Unfortunately, not with cigars inside and the one vendor I know of that does, sells fakes.
