I'm guessing about 1000%...a friend bought these for another friend of mine when she went on her latest cruise...people who know nothing about Cuban cigars shouldn't even try to buy them...LOL...

I would smoke one first and give us a review if you survive the experience.

Tough to say.
The one all the way to the left looks good though.

I'd say they are really aged pre-embargo...

Those are worth a fortune, I'd say smoke one and then auction the rest off through Christie's.

Enjoy the good life my friend!

I've see better fakes in the back alleys of Sosua. Toss em, and be quick about it.

If they didn't come in a glass box or if you didn't buy them from a cousin's cousin who had an uncle that worked in the factory... you should be good. Don't let the bands fool.I bet they got that barnyard smell eh?

Fortunately, these are not mine and I have no "interest" in them other than a friend bought them for another friend of mine. Not sure how much she paid for them but I did learn she bought them in some little shop in Belize...

I feel for her that she got "taken" on this transaction but I do find it somewhat funny since those look like some other fakes that have been posted on here...those guys must be making a killing off of innocent/ignorant tourists...LOL...
