$69.95 for 50 Genuine Pre-Embargo Counterfeit Cuban 1958

I really hope you get a quality smoke. I have had one of these and it was terrible, but it wasn't the exact same brand, I don't think.

Let me know how this one is.

I thought he was joking.:confused:
 
I don't understand the whole "it's pre-embargo, but COUNTERFEIT" either. But it's not a joke, they have them at my local B&M and gave me one for free.

I thought he was joking about rushing home to try it. The pre-embargo tobacco is the biggest cigar scam in the US.

:tpd: That is very true. But I have to say I have had a few of these and they are not bad at all. Sure the name is silly, but you don't smoke the name. With that said, I wouldn't buy a box. :D

The Genuine pre-embargo counterfiet cuban cigar is a perdomo product.

Hand made in Nicaragua
Filler: DR,Hon, Nic
Binder: Honduras
Wrapper:Ecuador

It is just a name. They are not really trying to fool anyone with the idea they may actually be pre-embargo cigars (or tobaco), instead they are poking fun at pinars, and other cigars that DO clame to be the real deal. I believe the logic behind them is that many people get fooled and accidently buy counterfiet cigars, at least with these you will know they are counterfiet...but good.

I've been told they are fantastic (never had one myself), I hope you enjoy them :D

Let's start a brand and call it "Real Fakes"

...... we'll say they are made by a guy named Arturo Padron

..... featuring the unique sun grown shade wrappers

...... hand rolled by machines

We'll make million$ :al
 
I do believe that the name is indeed a joke that goes along with all of this Pre-Embargo scam and fake Cuban stuff that has been hitting the market.

As far as having a truck load of them. I don't believe that is true. When I called in my order, I wanted something along the lines of a Churchhill but I was told they were out of everything except the Gourmet Figurado's.

I was bummed out but thought what the heck I'll give it a shot.

When I opened the box I didn't know what to expect, but, was pleasantly supprised by the smell and the construction. When I opened the free issue of Cigar Magazine I was very happy to see that this exact cigar had been rated and ranked #1 for the full bodied cigars.

I got home to late to fire one up, but will do so tonight and will give a review.

I noticed on Mikes web site that they seem have recieved another shipment and have most of the sizes in stock now.

While checking around the web today, it seems that these Figurados rate higher than the other sizes and shapes.

At a $1.40 a stick they beat out cigars costing five times as much in the Full Bodied review.

It is easy to find great cigars for $10.00 or more a pop, but if these are as good as I've read, they will be quite a bargain.

I'll let you guys know after I smoke one tonight. Hope the RH% on these is 65%-70%

You do know these come from JR's? They are one of Lew's creations. They have tons of these as I was in the store a few weeks ago. They have always had a ton of these. Cigar magazine is just a shill rag for Lew, btw. You did get a good price.

I had one of these the other day, bought a couple after reading the review in cigar magazine. I wouldn't EVER buy them again. Total garbage. Wrapper looks terrible, difficult to describe but fake. Maybe I'll try to take a closeup picture tonight and post it. It feels as though the wrapper has separated from the filler. Miserable.

I didn't know about JR's. Is JR and Mikes tied in together?

As far as the magazine goes, thank you for this information, it is the first time I''ve looked at it.

Well, I've got a box of them now. I'll post a review when I smoke one.

I am pretty sure the ones Zoomschwortz are talking about are a perdomo product.
