For sure, all I saw was counterfeits in the Caribbean tourist areas. I knew many weren't genuine but my curiosity got the best of me so I tried a few and to my surprise, they weren't bad...Not as good as the real deal but better than some of the more premium sticks I tried in the past. Do your research before buying a bundle to bring home. If you know what you're looking for, you can usually spot fakes before you crack the box open. A good fake will take some closer looking at but they all usually cut corners somewhere.
ETA: These Cuban counterfeits are IMO VERY tasty for the money.
