How to spot FAKE Habanos Cigars.

We get many requests from past and present clients who have bought cigars from unscrupulous vendors both online and in cigar shops. Customers often forward us many boxes for inspection and where a person has a suspicion their cigars might be fakes we usually find 9/10 times after we have inspected the boxes to be the case. Unsuspecting Habano lovers or novices engaged in the art of Habanos are been caught out with supposed real Habanos SA Cuban cigars.

Please be aware that when you buy Cuban cigars or Habanos, always request HABANOS cigars there is a difference, if you go to Cuba and buy off the street you are buying Cuban cigars but you are not buying real Habanos SA made cigars. Please be aware of this as the only real Cuban cigars are the Habanos SA made factory produced Cuban cigars, there can be no other like them the world over, nor can any other cigar have its distinctive flavors, finesse or taste.

Also we have with Habanos SA found out that many cigar vendors both online and even in their shops sell both real and Fake Habanos to unsuspecting customers. The only real way to confirm real Habanos is to ask their source of distribution which should lead to Habanos and if needed check with the Cuban Distributors directly.

Always remember if its too good to be true it probably is.. DONT GET RIPPED OFF ON FAKES
