CI "Fake" Cigars?

[Ropey]

I kind of feel like, who cares? I prefer to smoke good cigars

The problem is that noobs will think they're buying premium cigars at a discount, will smoke them, dislike them, and swear off cigars forever. Then there will be one more person (or thousands, if it happens a lot) who doesn't care at all when cigars are legislated out of existence.

I know because I was one of those noobs. I smoked several dog rockets from Cbid and hated them until I happened to win an auction of decent sticks.

Based on a recent video on Glynn's web site, even the "Black Pearl" cigars appear to be cuban sandwich (or nearly cuban sandwich) construction.

Here's their ad copy from http://www.cigarsinternational.com/c...ck-pearl-rojo/

"La Perla Habana Rojo received an outstanding 90-point rating along with "Best Buy" honors"

Here's a dissection of the cigar:

I don't know if that's cuban sandwich or just a bunch of sh*tty tobacco and dust. Either way, does that look like a 90-rated cigar inside?
