Tip of the Week
Unless you're actally buying your Cuban cigars in Cuba, it's tough to know if the Cuban cigars you are being sold are actually from Cuba. So how do you know if you've received real Cuban cigars and not counterfeits? Here are a couple of expert tips to use in your cigar purchase:
* On the box: Look for a seal from the Cuban government and a "Habanos" sticker on the cover with the black silhouette of a tobacco leaf.
* Inside the box: Look for a parchment paper with the Habanos notation in brown and an introduction in four languages
* The cigars: Uniform color and placement, exact confirmation to the size ordered.
