If Cuba and the U.S. really do open all embargo restrictions, are the Cuban cigars that a lot of people would like to purchase and try be the real deal? Here is another example of a possible fraud, bought on a cruise in the islands and given to me as a gift from one of my students.
A Romeo Y Julieta corona. From the pictures the band is good quality
with the correct embossed gold coins and dots. But the cigar itself was
very veiny and lumpy. Smoking it was a workout with a very tight draw,
and there was very little flavor. So in my humble opinion, this was a
bad real cigar, or bad fake cigar. It really did not matter because I
could not finish it. So give me my "hand rolled in house" cigars anytime
because I do know the origin of them, these are the ones my cigar shop,
Up In Smoke in Cromwell ,Ct. owners wife rolls, ( see picture in other
blogs). So the hype is never worth it unless you buy from a reputable
dealer, and then it still is not worth it price wise. Give me a box of
nice smokable maduro's over a "Cuban" any time.

Just tried one tonight at the lake. It was not too bad, but like you said, not as good as other non Cubans.
