I’m unlikely to ever smoke a cigar but I have to admit the article’s fascinating.
Interesting that the author implies that fake cubans are sold in Cuba itself as well as everywhere else. I guess most turistas would assume that wouldn’t be the case.
It looks like the top-tier cigar manufacturers go to almost the lengths of makers of banknotes and checks to make their cigar bands hard to counterfeit.
I imagine the profit margin varies according to how much effort the counterfeiter is willing to make the fakes look good. I just wonder as to the tobacco used in counterfeits; but I guess if you actually smoke one, you’ve already had to buy the box.
I’ve always wondered about the last 3 Cohibas I smoked - bought them from 3 different places and all of them burned poorly and were difficult to smoke.
We can buy Cuban cigars here in NZ and they are marvellous! But at in excess of $50 per, I would be really, really annoyed if they turned out to be fake!

I personally refuse to smoke “slave sticks”.
Castro and his buddies can kiss my ass.
I have had plenty of smokes from nations where the growers and rollers were not toiling under the barrel of an AK-47.
One of the best smokes I EVER had was rolled by a little cutie in Mexico, when I stayed at a resort near Cancun, the Maroma Resort.
Beautiful place, beautiful people, excellent service and great cigars!
