A few months ago when I started getting "serious" about cigars, I ran across a JR catalog (imagine that) and started leafing through it. When I came across the "Genuine Counterfeit Cuban Cigars" I was immediately intrigued.
My initial reaction was that of most people. "They can't be THAT good...can they?" At $50 for a box of 25...we're at the point that I've wasted more money on less cigars. At the very least, they'd be worth it for the story that JR tells in their description.
"Genuine Counterfeit Cubans are square-pressed cigars that were launched in 2000 by Tabacalera Perdomo and offers Ecuadorian Rosado wrapper with a medium-to-full-bodied taste. In boxes of 25s."
Normally, I could say "You had me at square-pressed." but "Genuine Counterfeit Cuban" has a lot to live up to. I'm not the most distinguished palate, but I have smoked my share of cigars to be able to tell when I like something, and when I don't.
