My buddy who I grill out and smoke cigars with (he buys the food, I bring the cigars) recently came back from a trip to Mexico with some "Cuban cigars" to thank me for the countless cigars I have given him, which I really appreciate the gesture. He sent me a picture of them a few weeks back and after seeing them, I was in no hurry to go grab them. He dropped them off this weekend so I took full advantage and used one, not in the way he thought I would, by deconstructing it. I think the most interesting thing is that the filler was long but the binder was all mixed. Attached are some photos of the deconstruction. The most laughable part is the cigar bands. Enjoy!

Only thing missing from that festooned box is a genuine lock of Fidel’s hair.

I hope your friends didn't pay a premium for the "selectos" because of their classy box and Cuban provenance.

I hope they were SUPER Limited Edition......

If this friend makes frequent trips to Mexico I would suggest educating said friend to help prevent him spending more funds on similar scams

I hope your buddy doesn't expect you to smoke them with him. As @JtAv8tor said, you really need to educate your friend on these. I know it risks causing him some embarrassment, but he needs to know not to fall for this scam in the future.

Not to mention that whoever made these....they don't care what is in them...imagine the worst possible things one could put inside...go ahead...I'll wait cuz hairs and goo along with special sauces have been found as well and that ain't urban legend either.😱

Wait a minute you mean those are fakes Jeez coulda fooled me ound:

On a lighter note last time i was in T.J i purchased a box just like that all Cohiba's. It cost twenty American dollars.
It made the poor Mexican Mans day as those people are really impoverished. And it was the greatest conversation piece. I mean really hanging out with friends drinking laughing smoking Cubans. You whip that box out people laugh so hard they pee their pants. Now i ask you where you gonna get that much entertainment for a mere twenty dollars!

Sadly, my coworker sent me a “thank you package” for helping her with a work problem. She goes to Mexico with her cigar smoking husband and was excited to send me a box of Cuba Selectos. I had t tell her they were special and greatly appreciated! I told her I didn’t want to break the seal because I want to show them to my cigar smoking pals.
