Can fake (cuban) cigars still be good?

I had the "Glass Top" Cohibas in Mexico. If by good you mean absolute SUCK... sure... No... I would not buy them. A Cuban is a Cuban...... Those are made from sidewalk crack leaf from Mexico. IMO

10 cents a cigar would be overpaying for them......................

So I was looking on craigslist and ran across this: http://norfolk.craigslist.org/for/3190521633.html, which I believe must be fake and with some web research I came across this: http://havanajournal.com/forums/viewthread/861/ My question is... Since these are fakes I would be allowed to buy them, but would these cigars still be decent/good/worth a try? If so... How much would be a fair offer for a box of 25 fakes like 40-50$? Thanks in advance.

0 dollars.... These counterfeiters are accountable to no one. These sticks are more likely to be filled with sawdust and hatred than anything resembling good tobacco.

I stay away from fakes. Any price at all just encourages the fakers to make more. Please don't purchase those sticks. It's hard enough to find the real ones.

I already told him that they were fake and if they weren't it's illegal to own/buy/sell them.

I wouldn't go as far as calling the guy a Chinaman. a bit harsh no?

I've been to my fair share of laundromats to know what's what...

My question is: Why would you buy fake Cubans when you can buy genuine Nicaraguans?

jsnake

Even if you are getting Cuban tobacco it is the left over scraps swept up off the floor with all the boogers, dirt, dog hair, bugs, and whatever else might be down there. Kind of life slapping a tobacco leaf on the bottom of your shoe and smoking it. I won't smoke those.

Even if they are fake if sold as geniune cuban they are as illegal as selling the real ones.

For the price, it's hard to beat aged Cubans...specifically for the finish. If you like full body in your face smokes though, they are quite different. I enjoy both and have had my fair share of terrible Cubans. That being said, as of late I am drawn to aged Cubans more then anything else, but without age I am not a fan of many so it makes sense to have both to me. The curivari 4000 is a great example of an NC smoke that can go head to head with ISOM. Unfortunately, you have to pay to get a comparable experience in most cases in the NC/DC world for that profile.

Ah Dustin...you are in big trouble. Once you are hooked with aged Cuban then you are dead. I understand it because aged Cubans are gem.

Well, the biggest difference I notice is the finish and strength of the tobacco. The finish is smooth and light on the palette and does not leave much lingering nastiness that most cigars do. They also tend to knock me out a bit more. There are alot of NC/DC cigars that are similiar too, but different in their own right. I really think DPG comes close at times with many of his cigars once the pepper subsides. Avo is another great example too. Funny thing is, when I want full power, I want diesel and really enjoy them lol.

Yeah it's not like they are trying to replicate real ones. Their just rolled up turds with a counterfeit band on them.

I've smoked questionables that I was gifted and enjoyed some of them. Only one way to find out if its any good...light it up!
