If they tasted good with that cuban "twang", then so what if they are fake? You enjoyed them and that's all that really matters, right?

I've been there and if they would just give a good price point without the deception yes the cuban counterfeits are generally still good cigars.

I agree, but then I tried a Partagas LE 2000 and a monti #2 I had gotten before I realized the fake issue. Yeah those two were cheap assed knock offs not even a hint of the Cuban Twang! So I decided to keep going to the shop but I can no longer purchase their Cuban selection unless I have my laptop and run the box code first.

So you didn't say anything to them and are still going to the shop like nothing happened?

All that matters??? He got lied to and sold something other than what he thought he was buying. I just don't get this philosophy from the people that say this... I can understand you saying this if he knowingly bought these cigars where the owner said something like, "hey, here's some cigars that have fake cuban cigar bands on them. I think they might be real cuban tobacco, but I have no clue what they really are or where they came from. I'll give you a deal to try them, what do you say?"

the only reason is, it is the only cigar lounge around, They have a great humidor of other cigars. Besides It was my fault for buying them in the first place. I should have know It was to good to be true. The owners and the people that go there are really nice and it's a nice shop. Si I just admit i fell for the old trick, and move on.

 

[AlohaStyle]

Fair enough... I'd be pretty lost if I couldn't go to my local lounge too!

 

[Donk]

Yeah, that and If the owners really didn't know they were selling fakes, I'd make them look and feel like complete stupid jackasses, and I don't want to do that to them.

 

[Knickerbocker]

I doubt the owners are that naive.

If I honestly was in the business and selling cigars and were selling cigars that I thought were real, but were fakes, I'd want to know. If they truly don't know then you could be saving them from buying fakes in the future. I think you should say something, just remain respectful and their friend.
