    It had a good taste to me but construction was definitely an issue. Not the best put together cigar but pretty good smoke. Got a Cohiba for tonight so hopefully it lives up to expectations.

    Dunno where you are and don't take offense, but be careful. It's way too easy to get duped. As catfish aluded to, that monte is a little suspicious looking.

    Help us all out here. What are you seeing in the picture that gives it away? I am seeing a off center logo on the band, like it is too close to the top of the band and should be centered top to bottom...I dont smoke many Monty's and dont know if this is normal or not.

    I can't see what puff just posed (dumb iPads...) so sorry if this is redundant.

    Yeah, the band is off center and it lacks any embossing. I am not familiar with the older bands though. They have changed color and I think didn't used to be embossed. But, if it's a newer monte, it isn't looking too good.

    As others have said, I'd gladly smoke any **** on that beach. Have fun, dude!

    I'm with Gray. Let's see, my options are shivering in the rain with an authentic here or lounging on the beach watching bikinis go by with a fake that still smokes okay.... Enjoy the vacation dude!

    Good Pic of the real band.

    So, if you were going on a cruise ship would it be better to just order online from Ken and/or Ravi or try your luck at bringing something home from a LCDH store at one of the stops during your cruise?

    LMAO! Good one.

    Next time I think the cuban fake detectives should wait until the guy's vacation is over before telling him he's been buying fakes. LOL Let him enjoy the rest of his time on the beach first.
