Cuban cigars NEVER come in glass top boxes. Ever.

They are fake.

You've got so many elements of the classic bought fakes story in there... "shop off the beaten path" "got a great deal" "only $30" all you're missing is "I talked him down" or the mysterious cousin that knows someone who works in the factory and brings them back.

What Mike says, plus there are no Cohibas in glass tubes. The only Cuban cigar I can think of offhand that came in a clear tube was the Guantameras - and those were plastic tubes IIRC.

I wouldn't recommend smoking them as from what I've seen in the ones I've cut open, they might not be 100%l tobacco.

PM sent...

Those are fake, but I would like to have them if you would like to sell.

Are you serious or is this a f'ing joke?

I am dead serious.

Oh yeah, and in case you didn't know already...dem ain't real.

At least the Dudewan will take'em of your hands though. Prolly for some White Elephant Xmas exchange he and his girlfriend got invited to.

Once in a lifetime (or any trip to Mexico) collectors item!

Glass top legends.

Shump, nope never got to read that article and now its too late...

Thunder, actually I did talk the guy down from $75. Seen the same fiver at other high touristy places and they were asking $120.

So what is the final word, should I smoke any of them or toss the whole lot???

So all we are missing now is "my cousin's uncle's grandson knows someone who's brother is dating a rollera at the factory and they hook me up with these limitadas all the time"

You could save them for a puff-puff-punishment pass. Send them around a few times, then cut them open to see how many banana leaves and only god-knows-what else you smoked.
