Even though Compare cigars are not made in Cuba, you'll be convinced that they look and taste exactly the same but without the cigar band or the exorbitant high price. The depth of flavor and aroma will astound you. Petit Coronas are 5 1/8 inches long with a ring gauge of 42. 20 Corona are hand packed in a cedar box.
Cuban Copy cigars are handmade to duplicate the exact look and taste of Cuban cigars. They are made by Cuban trained master cigar makers that formerly worked in the factory that makes the originals in Cuba. Top quality long-filler tobacco is combined with a premium binder and wrapper to replicate the unique qualities of the originals. Smoking them is like smoking the originals, but at savings of over 80%.

Misguided marketing scheme, excellent bargain cigars
Smoked all sizes before they were gone forever. How sad that this ill-advised marketing plot went through. All it would have taken was to call them “hommage to...” instead of Cuban Copy.
The blend is consistent by ring gauge - all the thick ones taste almost identical, as do the thinner ones. Even the wrapper grade and shades are identical compared side by side.
As so often, the thinner ring gauges are far more concentrated and flavorful. The wrappers are darker and far less fragile on the thinner ones, too.
No, none of them taste like their proclaimed Cuban alter egos. However, all of them are borderline excellent cigars, especially factoring the excellent construction and bargain pricing.
It’s a shame they were all quickly discontinued, but the writing was on the wall based on the premise of the marketing scheme alone.
Get the Lanceros while you can - you will not find a better Lancero at $4-5, or even at 2-3x that price. It’s no Cohiba, but has a distant resemblance to the (pre-2004 blend change) Trinidad Fundadores, though none of the sizes reach the ultimate richness and refinement of their proper Cuban opposite numbers.
