I don't have any "friends" over there, but that being said there are some legit dealers in Hong Kong.
you know what I mean lz....I was referring to the only legit person people know around here over there...
Good to go as far as I am aware from friends. I don't buy there but not because I am suspicious of anything.

The most troubleing thing is the idea that only one third of these were fake. Someone took the time to mix them and customs had to go box by box to find the counterfiets. Then there is the other item, boxes headed to Nicarauga by way of Bulgaria. Are there any distribution outlets in Nic? Where were the real ones coming from ( I know origanally from Cuba, I am referring to an LCDH)?

another thought... almost 40,000 cigars.. this isn't a retail shop. This is a suplier. Even the most reputable shops can fall victum and pass on their mistake to you.

Reading this gave me a cold moment... I thought about how much drug $ goes to terrorism... Then I thought... what if terrorists get into the fake business... realize they could make a few mill by pushing counterfit cigars... far less risk...
Man, I'd have to give up ever smoking any ISOM.
Somehow I think that connection could already be in place Skip via organized crime who don't care what the business is as long as there is a buck in it!
