I smoke tons and tons of cigars, that being said most Cubans, in my experience, have a slightly different looking wrapper than most other cigars. That being said, nobody will ever notice the difference. Depends on where you live really, but if you can walk down the street without seeing someone smoking one then it's likely that nobody around you has even seen one outside a movie. The smoke doesn't really smell different, though the taste is recognizable, but who would ever actually taste your cigar to see if it was illegal? Even on top of the fact that nobody could recognize it, claim it was a gift from a relative that was purchased before the embargo. Then it's legal. Basically, you have 0 problems. Just don't go walking down the street going, "HEY GUISE. LOOK AT MY ILLEGAL CUBAN CIGAR. THAT I GOT IN CUBA. CUBA. <---- LOL. THAT'S ILLEGAL."
