    Default Mexico cigars and fakes?

    so I have to go to this wedding in mexico this week...it's in puerto vallarta, i'll be bringing a few of my cigars down there...but i was just wondering if I was looking to bring some back what are the easiest things to look out for on fakes?

    I'd imagine looking at the construction in general triple caps,wrapper...
    Any big tips on the labels?

    My buddy been down there for 3 days and he just put this pic. up on his FaceBook...bragging that they were cheap( he doesn't know much at all about cigars,not a regular smoker either).
    I don't know i could only imagine there fake?..let me know what you think, thanx!

    Never seen a window in a Monte box, say fake.
    Mexico is notorius for fakes...stick to a LCDH store.

    There was an app that used your local that found the local LCDH store on your iPhone.

    Montecristo doesn't make a double corona.

    "doble corona"

    It's amazing how they put soo much effort into the boxes, stickers, and bands but they can not do a spell check?

    That's the Spanish version and is sometimes used.

    If you have an Iphone use this app that I found that I posted in a previous thread. Its free App developed by Phoenicia T.A.A. in coordination with Habanos S.A. called “HABANOS CLUB”. It will provides you a listing of all the Casa Del Habano closest to you. For example, I am traveling to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in a couple of weeks and I was able to find a shop that is LCDH approved. So that is where I will be going for my cigars.

    Montecristo does make double coronas. But not like that. That packaging is fake as they come.
