Pre Embargo Cuban?

If you like it, smoke it, dosnt matter what it is or what it isn't [/quote]

I agree, but it wasn't anything to write home about. I didn't expect much but if there was a chance how could I pass it up.

Did the guy sell it to you saying it was Pre-Embargo Cuban? Like did he lead you on? Or did you just assume? lol

Buyer beware. I've seen these in tourist traps also and some people actually buy them. I've tried telling them they are fakes but few listen.

what he said. and further - is the b&m seriously portraying these cigars as the real deal? if so, and i think we can all agree they are not, i'd question whether i'd continue patronizing them. just my two cents.

FWIW, the three on the left are Pre Embargo Cubans. On the right is a "Clear Havanas", rolled in a bonded US factory with Cuban tobacco(1950's)
