[quote]Yah, it wouldn't surprise me if the tobacco is from somewhere else.

Most of the other cigars, I don't have a known-good control cigar to photograph it with, so it'll just be smoking them to see what they taste like.

Though I'm [color=blue][b]also not sure if anyone cares if more cigars are examined or not?[/b][/color]Maybe someone else can do some...[/quote]I vote examine!  More info and more evidence can only be a good thing.

Two kids.  I did the pictures and writeup after they went to bed. :)

Anyway, thoughts about the cigars?

The real ones look great, smooth as silk.
Would be nice if they smoked as good as they look.
How about it then, smoke one yet?

The TL GR looks like a regular Monte #2 with the GR band.  I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case.

uh... only if the regular Monte #2s you have are fake.  imo

[quote]uh... only if the regular Monte #2s you have are fake.  imo[/quote]Yes, clearly the Monte on the far right is something other then a Cuban Monte #2 let alone a GR.  Probably a Don Bologna!  The one second from the right looks much better and may be a legit Monte #2 with GR band though that wrapper is still quite rough looking so the proof of that pudding would be in the tasting.

I really, really doubt either of them are genuine.  They both smell identical... like farm cigars.

Andrew, I will put in some work on the TL/Limor comparison once I get all the samples in.  I doubt I can do as impressive a job as you but well... whatever  :nana: :nana: :nana: :nana:
