Somebody gifted it to him as a souvenir more for the novelty than for smoking. But yeah, I would have wanted to smoke them too,....... even if they were fake. Give 'em a try anyway.
Unless things have changed in the last 4 years or so, Habanos has never put out any type of glass type box/sampler.....every one you see would be fake.

Bob, you really wouldn't want to smoke out of the glass top boxes. I have seen alot of stuff rolled into those cigars and most of it ISN'T tobacco. You have banana leaves, paper, tobacco stems, dried rodent droppings and anything else they think they can hide in there.
The reason this cigar is so counterfeited is because of the branding popularity and the quality. Glass cases along with some other ridiculous ways to present this cigar is what you will find outside the US esp. in ports of call in those Caribbean islands. There are a lot of links to help educated us in being able to discern a fake from a real one and each year the black market gets a little better at being able to make copies..esp. the cigar bands and that is what takes more work because buying them by the box makes it too hard to copy every little thing...cigar bands can be copied with software programs that make it a bit more challenging and easier to pawn off on those who really don't know the difference.
