Well, John(my future son-in-law) and I went down to the flee market to pick up a boat load of Kentucky Black Gold cigars. We both enjoy them, especially the price. Well, the vendor said his source has dried up and could not find any more. We decided to visit the other cigar store in the market. The "Roll-n-Smoke". This is run by Mike Winfield. He showed us some "genuine" cuban cigars. We picked up a Punch Habana and a Hoyo de Monterey. They were OK cigars, but since we have not smoked any real Cubans yet, how do you tell. We are still planning the Canadian Road Trip one of these days.(Not that we would bring cuban cigars back illegally of course, but would enjoy them across the border, because we are loyal law abiding citizens).
I went online and looked up the labels. Here are real Punch and Hoyo labels:
Here are the labels from our fakes:
You can tell the difference looking at the crowns in the labels. Cigar Afficionado has a great site that shows fake and real labels.
