Orygun Duck Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I understand that bogus Cuban cigars abound. Paz is undoubtedly trustworthy, but one should probably be careful elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmw1150rt Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 No REAL Cuban cigars to be found Lakeside, must go to Guadalajara or Puerto Vallarta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 So you're saying the Puros Cubanos at Paz are fake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 That's BS. BMW Biker, you should confront the PAZ family with your assertion. IMHO, they are honorable people who run a good business. They would never knowingly carry counterfeit goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumofabit Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 So you're saying the Puros Cubanos at Paz are fake? A cigar labeled as such are no more a guarantee of being made in Cuba than a Panama hat being made in Panama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically your answer to the charge that you can't get a Cuban here at lakeside is what? Anything anywhere can be bogus, and therefore we shouldn't trust a cigar--or anything else--that doesn't come with a pedigree attached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite common to call a cigar made from tobacco thats seeds were from Cuba, but grown and rolled in another country. How are theses labeled? The facts are that there are many fakes of cigars in Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha1 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 A cigar labeled as such are no more a guarantee of being made in Cuba than a Panama hat being made in Panama. Why are Panama Hats Called Panama Hats if They are Made in Ecuador? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
