Slimboli, as with all Cuban cigars, regardless of where you are, you really have to watch yourself. I buy all of mine from a particular shop owned by a close friend of mine. There is only one guy in the entire country I live in with an authorized distribution agreement with Cuba, and the shop I frequent only buys from him (he's got one of 12 pyramid humidors signed in magic marker from Fidel himself at home, value around $157K, cool eh?) Anyway, I sent photos of the shop with the appropriate signage and clear labeling of all the products stating what they are. Mr. Mean has a good idea of what he is getting. As I stated in my offer, I am not looking into any sort of a money deal, nor will I ever, I was just looking to trade a couple of my own for something I can't get here. One or two for trade, max. But, to make a long story short, question all cigars said to be "Cuban." You will find fakes in just about every legal country in the world (why, because they are cheaper). If you are buying them at a shop, ask them who their distributor is, then look at the whole box and note any differences in color or obvious poor wrappers. The QA people in Cuba would never let a box of theirs go out with 3 different colored cigars in the box (they'd sort them first-LOL).
