Chinese cigars suck.

You should try Chinese "chocolate", it pretty good :whistling:

Chinese cigars suck.

Dip them in sweet and sour sauce. Much better.

"Many visitors to the cigar chat rooms (and humini) speculate that customs agents are helping themselves to the Cubans impounded at an O'Hare Airport warehouse awaiting destruction.

Yeah, like that one thread where everybody was openly discussing how to ship certain items that may or may not be legal. What a hoot that one was, ya dorks. I'm no black helicopter guy, but FFS, have some wisdom. :laugh:

Now ya did it Jon. If I had WISDOM, I'd keep my mouth shut.

Do you think there are uncover custom agents on the cigar websites working on sources? Not per say on CP, but other cigar sites?

Edit for punctuation.

The customs agents would have to be pretty inept at their jobs if they had to troll cigar forums to figure out who was shipping contraband to the US.

Learn from it, gentlemen - that's what a woman's scorn will do for you! :laugh:

In most law enforcement circles - doing an investigation with those being investigated providing full details in a public forum is considered "low hanging fruit". There's nothing like dangling a steak in front of a hungry dog... :whistling:

I did a drug investigation a number of years ago inviolving a very open and notorius drug dealing group within a local liquor establishment. Bizarre logic, but apparently the bad guys seemed to think they were immune to being caught because they were being so open and notorius. One even reasoned that if law enforcement were to arrest any of those involved, it would be considered "entrapment". Strange, I know - but all were convicted of felonies.

The logic of some individuals never ceases to amaze me - doing something that is clearly not legal in full view of those that would investigate, and somehow thinking immunity from any subsequent investigation is some kind of God given right...

I thought the most interesting thing about that article was the interview with the domestic shop owner. A customer complained he would have to buy more from the shop now. There are already more cigars(regardless of manufacturer) made than I will ever get to try - some of them damn fine cigars, too.

I also feel this is comparable to "crying over spilt milk". This incident is small potatoes compared to the recent economic destruction of our country by the crime syndicate known as the US government, not to get too far into politics.

After the revolution we can all smoke a nice Cuban cigar to celebrate.

You know some people did. Destroyed in a series of small fires, does anyone know anyone in Chicago Customs?

The embargo started on Feb 7, 1962, we are almost st the 49th anniversary and the Cuban government is still the same, I guess it didn't bring down the regime. Maybe Cohiba will come out with a 50th anniversary edition next year. :laugh:

Golfgar .... Golfgar? .... I kinda remember a Golfgar around these parts

Original headline read "200,000 boxes of Cuban Cigars seized"

 

[Bayamos]

Read the article and saw the pic's. Not sure what hurt more, the first time I fell in the bar leaning to ride my bike or that article...

It brings another different meaning to the word "WOW"

"Don't hate the players, hate the game"

Those making unsubstantiated accusations against law enforcement probably steal from their employers to support their cigar habits.....see anyone can make ridiculous assumptions...

Yes sir, I am still around from time to time, mostly thanks to the Chumps. And, I have been converted to also enjoying fermented grape juice, although, I am sure not nearly as good at that as are you.
