Ok kids, its nearly 5 pm. I have a lot of real work to do - not just spending time on a discount cigar forum as TG so eloquently put it.

I'll check back with you tomorrow. You can continue to beat me down until I cry then. But for today, I gots to go....

I can't take credit for that one. I think AndyTV was the first to coin that phrase around here.

Ok, your accused of selling knock offs....sigh. Well if you have cigars made at a factory for you and then stick a "licenced " label on it, isn't it a knock off? It wasnt actually made by the original factory in any way shape or form, so how is it not a knock off?

Simple solution, buy your cigars somewhere else. Take a look at that thompson guy looks like he only sells top quailty chit [sarcasm]

I am not a fan of licensing. I have found in researching lawn equipment and appliance purchases that many companies license out their name. John Deere, Cub Cadet, Amana and Frigidaire come to mind. Most of us would see those names and assume they come from that factory and carry their reputation of quality. This is not always the case. I guess the license $$ overrides the possibility of tarnishing their reputation.
I am happy that Trish says if you have a question to call because if we are buying singles and fivers we don't have the box to see where they are made.

I think the main problem is that CI does it more then any other online catalog retailer

No, its a sanctioned product, made in a different location.

If you want the real deal Graycliff cigars, you MUST purchase them from the hotel in the Bahamas. They don't distribute them anywhere else, to the best of my knowledge. So its safe to say that if you're purchasing it from us, its not made in the Bahamas. If you do your homework, you would find this information out and not be looking for them on an auction site.

If you were to buy a t-shirt that said Dalla Cowboys on it that wasn't licensed by the NFL, that would be a knock-off. If you go to Chinatown in NYC and buy a 'coach' purse that isn't actually made by Coach, that's a knock-off. If you buy a Graycliff cigar that you don't like, was made in Honduras but is licensed to a company that had it made in Honduras, that is NOT a knock-off - its a cigar you don't like.

We can simply agree to disagree Porksoda. You don't like the idea of licensing and that's ok.

I have an idea for everybody- If you don't want 'em, PM me for addy. Got a couple of good dudes I need to send some smokes anyhow. Trish, if anybody sends me any "questionable" ones, I'll let you know, then use them for bombs anyway!

The last Greycliff box I bought said "Made in Ukraine" on it.

Not sure which manufacturer that was....

Hey Trish, there was a whole page of Knock-offs in the March, 2014 catalog (pg.61). Do you like pistachios ?
