"If I think it is a fake" If you aren't certain, don't say anything, other than how much you appreciate the gift.

Only tell him if you are absolutely certain, and explain why...I was in a similar situation with my neighbor. He's a young cigar noob (but a great auto mechanic). He went to Mexico and came back with a handful of "Cubans". He knew I enjoyed cigars, so he gave me a Montecristo #2, and was absolutely beaming. I thanked him and later took a hard look at the stogie, and was suspicious. I compared the gift cigar to an authentic that I had. The bands were slightly different with the Mexican band a little fuzzy around the lettering and logo edges. The wrapper coloring was different: the gift cigar was darker. It was just a tad longer than mine. The roll, the space between overlaps in the wrapper, was different, but that could be explained by different batches. The truth was revealed when I smoked the cigar. Totally different flavor profile...more like a Nicaraguan with pepper, leather, wood and harshness. I spoke with my neighbor, and told him what I thought. I gave him an authentic Monte #2 and showed him the bands. He did say that the vendor had the "Cubans" displayed in glass-top boxes. After he smoked the Monte that I gave him, he thanked me, but I could tell he was crushed....

you would do much harm if you told him you thought they were fake, but in fact, they are authentic.

Oh, I definitely wouldn't say anything unless I was absolutely sure.

Yeah, but if they are fake, I feel like he should know so he knows to not trust his source for future purchases. IDK

In all fairness, some people out there actually do things like that.

Granted. I would think highly unlikely in this instance though. I dunno, maybe he's hitting on Hamk and wants a dinner date?

I would let him know if you discover it is fake for that reason.

Maybe also he'll even pick up the tab at dinner instead of going Dutch.

I will post the pictures here shortly. It seems to check all the boxes but I’m no expert.

Could be... I think it would have happened a long time ago though, because all the chicks seemed to like my foreplay in highschool even though I didn't know wtf I was doing...

So that's probably it!

Thanks man, you're the best.
