Question
Ok so I know I have fakes I got them on a cruise to progresso. But I've decided I'd like to start collecting. Since I know they're fake should I still leave them unopened or does it really matter?

Answer
Some of the worst cigars I have ever smoked are the real Cohiba cigars.
The fakes have to be better.
They are usually just nice mild Dominican cigars.
Open them -
Put them in a humidor.
If the humidor is large enough always leave the cigars in the original box if you can.
If you do not have a humidor put the whole box in a big Zip lock bag, give them out and smoke them in a week or 2 at the most.
Or
Put the whole box in a zip lock bag with a Boveda 72% in the box and it will last for a few months.
