Cuban Cigars: Catching the Fake Cigar

Cuban cigars are renowned across the world as the most sought after as well as the most high quality variant of cigars available to man. These cigars are made of a different mix of tobacco as compared to most other cigars and their manufacturing process as well as technique simply adds to the quality of the cigars in the market. The problem however lies in the fact that there has been an essential rise in the fakes that go out into the market every year under the name of Cuban Cigars. The problem here is the fact that the fakes cost as much as the original and are more harmful to your body than you think considering that the tobacco used is not always of the highest quality. However, with a little bit of awareness, it does not take much to differentiate between a fake cigar and one that is really of Cuban make.

The first point of differentiation that makes you realize that the box of Cuban cigars is a fake is the box itself. An original box of Cuban make cigar will have a seal of warranty on the left hand side of the box on the front that is essentially green and white in color. The same seal also has the picture of a shield and also that of a hat on it. The same box will also have a white sticker on the upper corner of the box. Onto the cigars itself, original ones will have an aroma that has a lot of richness in its smell. The caps and the length of the cigars will be uniform on every single piece within the box.

If the cigars also feel soft at any part of the length of it, then there may also be something questionable about the authenticity of the cigars. Hence, there are many ways, by which one can check for authenticity in Cuban cigars.
