This seems like something that takes a fair amount of skill. I would have to learn and practice quite a bit to feel comfortable here.
One sure sign that a product is fake is when the price is significantly lower than the original product. Is that the case? If yes then it's quite obvious that they're selling fake cigars.
@jakub1, That's true in most cases, although sometimes the seller sells it at the same price so that it will look "original", like Micro SD cards for example.
