> [@JEG](#): > > I got a few the other day. Picked up an Onyx, Romeo y Julieta and a Trilogy (Native Camaroon). Got them from the rez. I am trying differant ones to see what I like. The Onyx are decent, but have a sort of strange tast to them…haven’t tried the other 2 yet. > > Oh, if a cigar sais “exported from cuba” on it does that mean it is a real cuban? I tried a few Cuban Delights…they were realy good, but wasnt sure if they were really Cuban. The other’s (Romeo/Trilogy) are made in Dominican Republic. a lot of stuff will Say Cuban on it, but they aren’t Cuban. about 90% of the “Cuban” cigar you se are fake, that number increases to %99.5 if your in Mexico, teh Carribean, or any other resort/vacation area. There is a large amount of fake Cubans being sold in Cuba as well. Unless it’s a pre-embargo, whcih will cost a few thousand dollars for a box you cannot import them to the US, $50,000 fine and 10 years in prison, doens’ matter if it’;s 1 cigar or 1000. The onyx is a maduro wapper as opposed to a coneticut shade, criollo, shade grown, sun grown, cameroon or one of the other different types of wrappers, which is why it may taste odd to you --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/attn-nyspeed-cigar-buffs/18017)._
