Counterfeit cigars sold in Punta Cana Dominican Republic
Consumer warning from Dominican Watchdog; All the "CUBAN COHIBA" cigars sold by Dominican beach vendors are fake! There is a lot of money and corruption in counterfeit cigars. Thats probably why the Government has done nothing to stop this illegal activities of selling counterfeit cigars to tourists anywhere from Punta Cana to Sosua/Cabarete in the Dominican Republic.

 

This Dominican illegal counterfeit COHIBA cigars are hurting the cigar industry and their image worldwide. The problem with the fake cigars is, that not only do they taste awful. They can contain worms that will distroy your entire cigar collection should you make the mistake of bringing them back home.

The poor quality of the cigars and the reason for their awfull taste and uneven burning is due to missing fermintation process. What gives "aged" cigars the smouth flavor and beautiful light grey ash is a combination of leafs and their fermintation for 3-8 years.

Here are some links to how to spot the fake cigars:
