their is nothing like a monte #5. i always keep a few until i can find another source for a new box.
open for suggestions RICKAMAVEN AT HOTMAIL DOT COM
i think the monte #5 is never counterfeited. i always open one when i first get a box and they look as good inside as outside.
my instinct tells me the3 cigar is cheap enough and not popular enough to counterfeit, too hard to roll that size, and if someone is going to make a fake it would probably be a #2 which cost at least twice as much.
please slim, don't bust my bubble of reality.
