Man such a shame. Agreed these are one of the worst fakes I've ever seen. What year is listed on the EL label? 201 or 2011?

Sorry, bro!

I'd be really wary to smoke it at all...

Since they are fake, you have no idea what they are made from, no matter what anyone says. Not to mention where they have been stored, who has touched them, etc.
Not worth the risk of getting sick from a number of things that could be in that "tobacco". Just my 2 cents.

Please open one up carefully. I'd love to know what's inside of these!

Check out www.thecigarchief.com/spotfake.html They have multiple examples of fakes. You will be able to see side by side comparisons of labels, boxes, bands and other dead givaways. My buddy went on a Mexican cruise last week and almost bought some. Thankfully his wife drug him out of the shop and back onto the boat. Anyway do a little homework by checking this out and look at the comprehensive guide to current habano production on here in the habano section. Live and learn my friend.:chat:

welcome to the club... if it is any consolation, probably 80% or more of the posters here have had fakes in their hands at one point

Glass top collectors item. Keep it. Not Cuban but a great conversation piece.
