The airport is the best place. Spain imports half of Cuba's cigar exports, yet has more fake Cuban cigars in their street stores than any other country. Fake cuban cigars are very big in Spain, so if you can get them at the airport in Spain, you'll be better off. Otherwise, check out the web on how to spot a fake cigar, and note that I have found fake cigars in legit boxes so don't think that if the box is okay, the cigar is. Mind you, some of those fake cigars smoke better than any Dominican, but I wouldn't be spending that much for a fake Cohiba that doesn't burn evenly and smoothly as the real thing which is worth every penny.

Many thanks to you all. The saleman in Spain removed the rings for me and changed the box to a Dominican box. He says they all do this for many Americans. He gave me the rings in an envelope to mail home.

Did you watch the salesman do this, and seal up the package? Or could he have actually mailed you Dominicans?

He removed the bands right in front of me because they were hard to remove and changed the box. I took the box of cigars back in my luggage. He gave me the bands to mail home cause the bands keep the cigar together.
