I would actually like it if someone with a fine cigar palate was to gather a collection of "fakes" and then review them to see how they stand on their own merits... what if there were actually a few diamonds amongst the huge pile of shit? Could one collect a few boxes of these diamonds, or does each box contain fakes from various regions... ie. they just all looked alike?

I obviously know little of how the counterfeit market works. I have been given a few "Cubans" in the past that were easily identifiable as fakes by the band.... but that's as far as my knowledge goes.
