In past Cigar smoking was considered as a smelly habit pursued by only businessmen and older people. But for the last couple of years, cigars have become trendy with people of all ages. It's growing trend is indicated by its unprecedented sales, an explosion of cigar magazines, shops and even nightclubs. The most popular and expensive among all the cigars is the Cuban cigar. The growing demand for Cuban product has produced a flood of phony cigars. According to a survey 80% of the Cuban cigars sold in Canada are fakes. Before we try to spot fraud cigars, it is helpful if we understand the procedure how Cuban cigars are produced and distributed. An authentic Cuban cigar is called Habanos, and a government corporation of the same name controls all the distribution of Habanos. Cigars are collected from the various factories and sent to the Habanos warehouse where they are stocked for distribution. Authorized Habanos dealers are located throughout the world, who get a large portion of these cigars, but yet not enough to persuade the market demands. It is actually a small portion of what they desire. In the back streets of old Havana illegal factories produce fake cigars. **End Summary** Topics: Rocky Patel Cigars]]> Gurkha cigars]]> Swisher sweets cigars]]> Dutch masters cigars]]> Montecristo white cigars]]> Montecristo platinum cigars]]> Acid cigars]]> A]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> http://www.gothamcigars.com
