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)

I still have a handful of the Robert Burns Clear Havanas, for extremely special occasions.

I love how the pre-embargo Cuban cigar makers would go so far as to include the name of the vitola on the band! It shows how much they cared for their product and reputation.
