Today being Christmas me, the Wife and her Brother went to their Aunts today for dinner. Chatting with her Uncle about our recent (Oct) trip to the DR he had asked me if I smoked cigars to which I said yes. He tell me that before I leave to remind him to give me a cigar a friend of his got him in Cuba.

Fast forward to a little later he comes out to the family room with a cigar box and told me to pick one. If I hadn't been sitting down I would have hit the floor because he had a full box of Cohiba Churchills.

Needless to say I am looking forward to some warmer weather so I can enjoy it to its fullest.

Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year to all the Brothers and Sisters.

Super nice of him to share with you, but don't smoke that until you know what's in it.

Unfortunately, it's a fake (too many rows of dots, "Cohiba" font isn't right, gold border isn't uniform, wrapper is a mess, etc), and fakes are often made from floor sweepings and could have all manner of junk inside. Maybe cut the bottom inch off and see what the filler looks like.

On a related note, suppose someone gives you one of his fakes and expects you to join him smoking right then and there.

Since I personally would never smoke a fake Cuban (lord knows what's in there) I'd either have to tell him it's fake and refuse based on that, or come up with some other excuse. Neither seems palatable.

Ideas?

Fake an explosive bout of diarrhea hell purposely shit your pants. Then run around screaming like a maniac until your fiends ask you to leave or they leave your house. This should avoid the uncomfortable fake Cuban conversation. :)

Not all fake Cubans are made of crap, hair or paper. Some fakers are making decent home rolled sticks. A Cuban home rolled can be better than a dog rocket.

Just sayin, not because it's not a Cohiba means it's crap: made in Cuba, by a Cuban, with Cuban tobacco leaves. Although fakes sold in Mexico or the DR I would be more worried...

But, put things in perspective, it was very generous and might be very enjoyable. (I second the cut and inspect idea stated above)

How do you tell the difference between "high quality fakes" and "floor sweeping fakes?"

LOL there should be youtube vids on how to tell various grades of fakes apart.

Personally I wouldn't risk my health on it. A person who will sell you fake cigars likely doesn't have your best interests in mind ;)
