I got hosed through a "Cuban" source, email me and I'll let you know which site to stay away from!!!

They first sent my cigars to the wrong address(didn't include city, state, or zip) and then supposedly resent them but I never received them and they will not right back. Protect yourself and email me!!

E - No it's one I've been struggling with for 4 months, I think they're finally just going to refund my money. If so then I can't complain, but I wouldn't use them again!!

If I get my money back I'll check through you're connection, Thanks!!

WHEW!

I just wish some of you guys and Maggie would let me know if you've made contact or purchased from my Puerto Vallarta guy - Gerry...

I really think he's a good guy and would have totally been appalled if it was him (like I said in the email).

Don't NOBODY mess with MY friends...

Hey E-chick, I met a guy in Puerto Vallarta that sells fine Cuban cigars--wonder if it's the same feller. He sold me some Bully-vars and some Cow-hibas. It cost me mucho denero but what the heck you gotta pay for quality.

E - Gerry is crazy expensive, I asked for a quote on a box of monte #2s, Partagas SD4s and Bolivar Belis. For the total he wanted $1,175 plus $75 shipping. I almost crapped my pants!!

But hey, supply & demand keeps him in business...someone's paying, huh!?

Thanks for the info...I'm happy to see that you at least checked it out.

CW ... I tend to read in word groups and had to read your post twice to see the word "almost" in there ... from the #s you mention, I can readily how such a dire eventuality could "almost" happen ...

Was in Havana, actual cost at factory, $350.00 box plus, so many fakes out there if it looks walks and quacks like a duck, it is a duck, don't get fooled.

You forgot about all of those boxes which are smuggled out by someone's cousin who works at the factory, but still has no idea what they are worth.

True, most of the workers get to take home around 6 per day I was told. A buddy of mine bought 6 bixes on the street in frint of 1 factory & took them back home to Costa Rica, all were fakes. I have a friend who was the lawyer for several of the companies, & he showed me how to tell fakes, the problem is though, most of the stores really don't know, though some who know, do target the U.S tourists and sell fakes to them, & save the real ones in the same box for their regular customers. I've seen that all over the world, so my advise is to be careful, even though the fakes taste damn good.
