Yep. Might as well try them and treat it as a learning experience. You might also contact 3x5card and send him a few samples -- as he has an interest in learning more about counterfeit cigars and sharing that information with the cigar community.

Re: fakes?
I've smoked the fake cohiba's, they were ok, but I was a little suspicious as some of them were a little hard to smoke(to draw the air through the cigar)

I haven't tried any of the others yet, but gave a friend of mine a couple, luckily his dumb *ss was't able to tell the difference either!

Only if you paid more than $5/box.

Sorry, bro.

I'd be happy to do that, depending on where he's located, I'm not sure about shipping cigars into the US.

Re: fakes?
Is it ok to ship into the US from Canada?

If not, I'll be in the US at some point this year, and I can ship them then.

Bro
It happen to me too.
I ended up spending about $300 with a vender that was selling fake sh1t.
I thought they were real they were about 30% cheaper than the online market. They smoked well tasted good & great construction. I noticed that 2 different cigars tasted a lot alike. Thats when I sent them to a smoker with a lot of experience with Cuban cigars. He new right a way do to one being 1/4 in. too long. Another was suppose to be box pressed and was not.

So it happens to alot of people your not alone.
I know I will not make the same mistake twice.
