If you are smoking Cuban cigars in the United States, watch out as they are illegal. This is due to the trade embargo placed by John F. Kennedy. Actually if you are a US citizen, you can't enjoy any Cuban products. However, the true Cuban cigar lover isn't stopped by this and regrettably, a lot of people around the world have been taking advantage of such normal day folks by selling them fake cuban cigars.

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.

Fake cigars are being sold to naive tourists who are just trying to have a good time on their vacation. You'll find these sellers using other South American cigars disguised as Cubans and they will sell it to you for less than one hundred bucks a box. It's actually pretty funny how many people fall for it but once they touch a real Cuban cigar, their heads hang low in shame.

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.
