Great find. So does that mean mo more duty free cheap cigars?

.

We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.

As long as the counterfeiters keep making money, there will always be someone out there willing to try and make a quick buck with an inferior product.

As long as I have coffee and a good smoke. No one gets hurt Big Grin

I have no doubt they they know with 100% certainty they are fake.

They are just willing to go to extreme lengths to make a few bucks from an easy mark.

The best way to get someone else to fall for a lie is to believe in it yourself with near fanaticism.

Did I read the same story? Didn't see anything about Habanos SA selling fakes, just corruption within the system. For a very interesting, and sad, look at how some profit by selling fakes, review this current scam at OLH http://www.onlinehumidor.com/forum/index...ic=9210.0.

There's a lot of good info on how the industry is run, including how the factories operate, etc. It's a long read by lots of info. Educate yourself so this doesn't happen to you.
