How To Spot A Fake Cuban Cigar

By: Trevor Wallace Home | Travel-and-Leisure


As a result of the trade embargo between the United States and Cuba, Cuban cigars are not legal in the United States at all. As a matter of fact, even if they United States citizen is traveling outside of the country, they are not legally permitted to own or smoke one of these cigars. As a result of this embargo, many individuals feel that Cubans are the best in the world.

If you are in search for a high priced item like a Cuban cigar, you are most likely to run into fake ones. It's just the nature of the beast, if something sells, people will try to create horrible knock-offs of it and sell your for cheaper. The good news is it is really easy to spot a Cuban cigar, especially if you've already smoked one of these beauties before. There are several things you should look at but once you hold that Cuban cigar in your hand, trust me, you will know. The quality of the Cuban cigar just can't be matched.

One of the first places that you may end up finding imitation Cuban cigars is while you're on vacation in another country. Most people that are traveling to the Caribbean on a cruise or perhaps on vacation in Mexico may love to sneak one of these forbidden smokes. More than likely, however, what you are getting is a cheap imitation, even though it may be a fairly decent cigar. Most people that purchase these fake Cuban cigars really would not know the difference anyway, they simply enjoy the thought of having something that is otherwise unavailable.

There are many different ways to actually spot which cigar is fake and which one is real. You need to be familiar, however, with how an actual Cuban cigar is rolled and packaged. For example, some fake Cuban cigars will come in a cellophane wrapper whenever the real product is never wrapped in cellophane. You can also look for errors that may be occurring in the wrapper or the packaging. Even though these differences may be slight, they are easy to spot if you have a distinguishing eye.

If it's too low, you better go! Yes when it comes to a fine product such as Cuban cigar, it is considered fairly expensive by the majority of people. It is a product of class and beauty and has centuries of rich history backing it up. Even the process of hand rolling a Cuban cigar has hardly changed since its inception in 1492. So if it's too cheap, listen to that little voice inside your head, it's usually right.
