counterfeit cubans making the rounds

Law enforcement and cigar industry officials say counterfeiters are marketing millions of dollars in fake upscale cigars, some pretending to be authentic Cubans that are illegal to sell in the United States. A recent crackdown has uncovered several major counterfeit operations, including one in Miami that resulted in the seizure of more than $20 million in fake cigars, labels and packaging.

Camacho Coyolar or "Say Uncle"

Country of Origin: Honduras
Wrapper: Honduran
Binder: Honduran
Filler: Honduran

This honduran puro has a beautiful chocolate brown wrapper, even burn and perfect draw. Nice firm ash and good to the nub.
I can't say it's as strong as it's touted but it is very full bodied and full flavored. Prolly the best Camacho I've ever had.
Sells for about $4.50 each by the box or in 5ers at Fuller's Pullers.

Definately get's a 9 on the tac-o-meter.
