As someone who has maxed out many a credit card buying cuban cigars I can say from experience and not from reading a book published in 1991 that every cc I have the wrappers look different in color, texture, etc... They look awful compared to non cuban cigars.
I have listened to a lot of TG's and SteveS expert advice that I would take what they say as the truth over anyone else I know!
When I have a question I always ask on the CBid forum and get correct info 98.2% of the time from TG!
PS:
Did John2000 just claim TG was on his period! them fighting words!
