Even more of a secret, Cuban rum is much higher quality than your typical Puerto Rican variety. But you didn’t here that from me…..

Who would do such a patently illegal thing, such as go to Mexico and purchase Cuban cigars? I for one, would never even suggest that anyone, who happened to be on a trip to Mexico, buy Cuban cigars and bring them back to the U.S. I mean, such a thought has never even crossed my mind, it's so ludicrous. </p> I also hear from a US Customs Advisory that it is illegal to acquire Cuban cigars from another country, such as Mexico.

I know that there are certain things about the packaging and banding that you look for to determine authenticity, but I couldn't for the life of me tell you what they are. I've heard some cigar nerds say things along the lines of "of course they're fake. Cohiba didn't even make a maduro double churchill in 2003." Perhaps the real story here is that if you know everything there is to know about cigars, it's harder to wind up buying fakes.</p> If the story of how you got them involves the phrase “I know a guy who knows a guy,” they’re fake.
