How to recognize the fake cigars in few steps and to be sure that our Habano is authentic:

- The wrapper: the first attribute that should be monitored. In the fakecigars the outside leaf usually has a very dark color.
- Manner of rolling: the true Habano cigar does not look like as a concentrated ring because the three inner leaves - volado, lijero and seco are rolled in a sheaf and
not one in another. The counterfeit cigars are loosely rolled and unequally cut.
- Dry tobacco: if the fake cigar is crushed in the hands lowered with the area of ignition, a shedding of tobacco pieces starts from the cigar’s inside because the
leaves are too dry and have been crushed during cigar’s rolling.
- Nonexistent names, formats, editions
- Rings: nonexistent limited editions, rings without relief, darker or lighter than the original one
