Back when I didn't know better I walked into a B&M in Ann Arbor, Michigan with my cousin and decided to have a smoke. I shot straight for the Montecristos they had and picked one up thinking sweet they have Cubans.. my cousin quickly reminded me I was in the US and well "we don't have Cubans" as he put it needless to say I still wanted to give it a try thinking how far off could they be from the real thing? I was wrong oh so wrong never again will I wonder.I know I have soo much to learn still.... But would that difference be worth the investment?
