Why hasn't "AB" been added yet? Just wondering.

Why does who I am matter? I am nobody to speak of. I have been on cigar boards since 2002. I practice law. I have read the posts on this thread and the other threads on this issue. And I have a certain amount of common sense. Consider this setup without your friendship with Tim obscuring...

I don't know who AB is. I don't know Tim. What I do know is this: if a guy asked me to put my reputation on the line to broker cigars for him to my brothers on this or any other board in exchange for a discount on the purchase of a few of the cigars in question, my spidey sense would be all...

My letter was never returned to me, nor did I get a reply. I sent his check to the same address. It has not been returned. As of Monday, it had not been cashed. Hope Raymond and Susan are OK.

For others who are also friends of Badhangover, I have what I think is the address of the house he bought last summer. I've sent him a letter there. We'll see if it comes back unopened, undeliverable or whether it generates a return letter.

I and a few others have been trying to catch up with Raymond for months now. He last was active at HCF in December of 2010. It seems he was last active here in January. I know he got married and was temporarily staying with his in-laws. The last address I had for him is therefore no good...

I haven't gone back and read every post on this thread, but several of the recent ones prompt me to clarify a couple of things. First, remember the distinction between U.S. Customs (a unit of the Department of Homeland Security) and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) (a unit of the...

I have been shown a Department of Treasury OFAC "Cautionary Letter" dated in early June of this year. It alleges that the recipient sent a PayPal payment of just over $100.00 to an agent of a Swiss vendor, allegedly to purchase Cuban cigars. This is the first confirmed report that I know of...

Ditto that. I admire your integrity on this decision, Rod.

More news: http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2008/may/24...rs-southwest-f/ And Alex is doing just fine, Bill. Thanks for asking.

I guess you won't be having to ban him now:

Of course it's a matter of individual taste, but I personally agree 100% with The Master.

Cigar Utopia???? I think that's another board. :laugh:

Harris and Drew, I, too, appreciate the updates. It's hard not to have CF to check in on daily for the past several. I'm sad to hear about your divorce, Harris, but glad to hear it's behind you and you might have more time to devote to imparting your knowledge and brutal honesty. Sorry to...

Libel doesn't become you, Bill.
