Need some help folks. A guy came into my local tobacco is lounge with the today. Based on The short interaction I had with him, the label, and about half of the smoke I am convinced that these are fake.

Here's the label:

Let me caveat by saying that I have not smoked a Bolivar before. I am by no means a cigar sommelier so my opinion is far from authoritative.

Have any of you seen this particular cigar label before? Has anyone other than myself smoke it? What are your thoughts?

Did you like the cigar?

Not at all. Tastes like a cheap stick. Something you're grab for a poker night with 20 guys.

Funny moment: so I asked the salesman -whom I've never seen before and didn't dress the part IMO - "have you smoked a Cuban Bolivar? How does the Cuban differ from these?" His reply "yes, these a so much better! These are Cuban seed. I can give you super deal if you buy 6 or more! How about a box?"

WTH!!! That along with a handful of other queues turned me off completely.
