No raised anything on the band...plus off colored and the wrapper def is not cuban...

You know the answer by now. Hope you didnt get a whole box or drop a lot of money on it. You can still light it up and see how it goes.

I wouldn't risk it. Could be rolled with all manner of nasty inside.

It was given to me from a friend. said he has a connection for cubans. It was dark so I took it. Stuck it in the herf a dor and after smoking a Hemingway I left. Got home this morning to examine its authenticity and I became very suspicious. I wont be buying anything from his connection but I was pretty sure it was a fake once I saw it in light. There are some hard and soft spots in it and the wrap just didn't look right.

Meh, if your friend enjoys them I don't really see the point in letting him know unless he asks. And definitely good that you took it, even if you did know it was fake at first glance. A cigar is a gift, after all, and should always be accepted as such.

I am undecided if I let him know or not. I probably will once I bring over something nice for him to enjoy while I break him the news. I will also probably try to light it up my expectations are not very high.

Don't let him know!....Well let me phrase my friend from elementary school bought me a box of CC for my wedding. He went to great lengths to get them. They were a glass top cc cohiba fakies. I told him and it literally crushed him.I felt terrible cause he got duked $150 for them.. up to you though.

My 2 cents. I agree here. If it was a one time gift, no sense in making him feel bad. However, if I had a friend spending hundreds...thousands on what he thought were real cubans but was buying fakes, I'd have to let him know.

Rain

For real, it might be a damed if you do, damned if you don't....but if he's buying these reguarly then let him be mad and keep his money.

Yeah I think his "passion" is dwindling for cigars so I might let it ride at this point but if he talks about it I will let him know to save his money. I definitely wont be investing in anything from his source.

Tried smoking it tonight...It was awful. Tasted like somebody took a crap and rolled it up

there was no wrap on it when he gave it to me so no way to tell there. After trying to smoke it, I guarantee it was a fraud but oh well. It was a present and I took it as that.
