perhaps we can all pool our resources to keep others from falling into traps some of us have stumbled into. my only nasty episode was getting a box of fake cohiba esplendidos from what I thought to be a stand up guy. price was right (not too cheap as most fakes are; "if it's too good to be true..."), and the box code checked out. he eventually refunded my money.
okay, these are some of the fakies I have personally seen:
- cohiba esplendidos (can you say glasstops?)
- cohiba piramide el
- cohiba siglo VI
- hoyo de monterrey piramide el
- hoyo de monterrey double corona
- cohiba millenium jar (fakes say "balboa" and have black ink at the bottom)
- montecristo millenium jar ("balboa")
- cohiba 35th anniversario jar (no such thing, but the bottom is nearly authentic)
- partagas piramide el
- partagas 8-9-8v (crappiest looking fakes, ever)
- montecristo no. 2
any others you have seen?
if there is enough interest, I might be able to build a fakes gallery to educate others.
