No idea what is happening

[victory01]

It's so sad this kind of thing happens to people just looking for a nice smoke. I'm just grateful I found this site before any of my trips. I prepped my gf at the time about the people who would try to sell us 'cigars' on our trip based on the threads and advice from people on this forum. She blew it off at first, but her eyes widened when hotel workers and people on the beach convincingly pushed cigars to me (cheap sticks from a cousin who works in the factory), and I denied all of them.

Brings me back...thanks CS. OP if you are serious about cigar smoking then stick around. You'll learn a hell of a lot here.

I hate to admit it - a while back I picked up some fake RyJ cigars at a Canadian rest stop right near the border by Buffalo, NY. They looked fine when I bought 'em, but could tell the minute I lit them up they were bad. The store was very much legit - but their cigars sure weren't.

Oh, well..
