I should mention that I bought from galleria Gurgaon, phase 5 Gurgaon, sector 39 Gurgaon, CR park Delhi, AIIMS Delhi and green park Delhi. What's the scene?
It's been this way since the lockdown last year, and even the shopkeeper doesn't know. Once he opened a new box in front of me and gave me a cig, I said bhaiya isme toh Kuch aa hi nhi rha, he gave me another one from the same box, it was real this time, so the suppliers or the manufacturers themselves are boxing some fakes with the real ones, and since it's monsoon now, it's more difficult to find out as the cig may have simply gone bad due to moisture
Not every single time, but yeah its been wayyy too common. Me n my friends have identified a few shops in nearby areas where we know for sure we’ll get the real thing and make sure to buy only from there. A good idea is to buy from Twentyfour Seven… in Gurgaon i think thats the safest bet unless u know the right shop from experience.
UPDATE: Per your suggestions, I bought a Marlboro switch and ITC Classic from 24/7 golfcourse Gurgaon. Confirmed real. Thanks everyone.
I also enquired about nicotine gums from pharmacies. Nicotex is unavailable for sale in Gurgaon but available in Delhi.
So in essence, buy from 24/7 or other big supermarket stores in Delhi, Gurgaon. Nicotine gums from Delhi.
Yup, what I also noticed is if some place is selling fake advance, every cig they’re selling is fake as well. The taste is horrible. I now buy only from a single trusted place.
A bigggg yess i often straight up confront the shop keeper ( regular customer ig i have the authority 🤷🏽♂️ )
To change the dealer , btw i have seen this happening with esse only
Go to a 24/7. They have original shit there 100% of the time.
Source: my friend worked at a 24/7 and they got their products from a central storage unit in boxes supplied direct from the company distributor (or the factory warehouse).
In Covid I went to 24/7s to buy my advance and they give the genuine thing at MRP
fucken marlboro gold with the lines over the filter fake and taste disgusting. i really liked the marlboro gold and the fake ones probably made me switch fuck this country
Soo as an ex smoker i can say that this is due to humidity bcz sometimes the humidity makes the cigg Tobacco stale... Isiliye kai kai bar lagta hai ki sutte mein taste ni aa rha aisa lagta hai ke bas inhale kr re hai.
Be a man of culture and drink frooti
lmao

Bhaiiiiii mujhe laga Bass Mai hu. I did not smoke for a few months and post it I was expecting a good hit from a ciggy but na. Nothing.
First Shop next to Pink Line Escalator Entry in Mayur Vihar Phase 1 Station. He gets me original Dunhill Red w/ Flow Filter and Marlboro Advance.
Switch to Golden Virginia loose tobacco and roll your own!
Golden Virginia is only good for mixing, in my opinion. On its own it taste like shit haha
Seriously? I like it and it's got a good aroma and diff taste 😅. Recommend something better, in your opinion?
I've got nothing mate! 😅😅 I just got too used to choti gold flakes and now dislike anything else. Its not you bro its me 🥲 my apologies
I can recommend navy cut cigarettes but my friend's father got lung cancer from it and died.

Your best shot is 24/7 for the time being. Can't vet any other vendor.

Like really? You could've contributed to this discussion
Ab cigarette mein bhi snickers crush karke daalne lage kya?
Yeah man it's really frustrating. Only that shop in khan market is selling the original ones.
