Cuban cigars are extremely desired, renowned around the world for their ample flavors and smoothness. In fact, Cuban cigars are so valuable, that a great many unaware people have fell victim to obtaining fake Cubans, so how do you work out the real from the fake? Firstly, be certain that you are buying your cigars from a legitimate dealer such as your local tobacconist shop, or a trustworthy mail order business, so that you can safeguard yourself from handing over a lot of money for a box of counterfeits.

If you have an opportunity to purchase a box of purported Cuban cigars, but have your doubts, take the time to examine the box before purchasing it. Here are a few tips to help you spot the fakes from the real thing.

The most important thing to examine is the box because authentic Cuban cigars will contain a green and white warranty seal on the left front side of the box. The seal will contain an insignia that has a picture of a shield and a hat. You should find a white sticker placed diagonally on the upper right hand corner of the box that says ‘Habanos’. If the box appears damaged, smudged, frayed, or marked, then avoid it, as the overall appearance of the box should be neat and clean. If the color of the box is dull, don’t buy it and even if the cigars are the real things, their quality may have suffered in transport. Know that if you happen to be in the market for Cohibi, Q’dorsay, or Trinidad brand cigars, be informed that all authentic Cohiba’s will contain the green and white warranty seal on the right hand side of the box.

Be sure to make sure that a heat stamp with the word ‘Habanos’ is found impressed onto the bottom of the cigar box, and that it is not imprinted with a rubber stamp or paper label, as this is a sure sign of fake Cuban cigars. On the bottom of an authentic Cuban cigar box, you should also find a factory coded stamp in black, green, or blue that will tell you when and where the cigars were rolled.

If you can open the box, take the time to smell the tobacco as Cuban cigars have a deep, rich aroma, unmistakable to a dedicated cigar aficionado. If the smell isn’t right, of, or just weak, then chances are that you do not have a box of authentic Cuban cigars on your hands. All cigars should be facing the same way, and the top row should appear slightly flattened. The foot of each cigar should be cleanly cut, and the caps on all the cigars should be identical. The bands on the cigars should all be identical and arranged in such a fashion that they facei n the same direction. Test the cigars out by pressing down on them, if you are allowed the chance. Feel along the entire length of each cigar, checking for soft or hard spots. The cigars should feel pliable, yet firm.
