Hello,
I'm new to the forum, but figured it might be the right place to try to sell a couple of Cohiba boxes i brought from Cuba last week, i'm going to be posting pictures of them, they are Cohiba esplendidos and have 26 cigars per box, the money is going right back to the family in Cuba, so i'm not looking to charge some of the prices i have seen outhere, but i would be interested in selling both boxes together or one, it is up to whoever is interested, and i can only ship within the continental US.

The transaction would be used using ****** i have a business account with them since 2007 so you can buy with confidence, drop me a line here or email me at Bannedforlife@yahoo.com.

Buddy,
I have no idea who you are, and where you base your information, but given that i brought this cigars myself last week from Cuba, where i'm from, i think you are no expert.

Just looking at the cigars themselves, the fourth pic in the first post, they are not of uniform length.

Regardless, illegal to sell cuban cigars in the US.

Lol, Im just guessing. I can barely see the pics.. But it is illegal to sell those in the USofA.
Edit: I think ill trust Milo, over a brand new guy.

Since they're fakes you gotta question the legality of selling them in the USA. If they are honduran/nic filler trying to be passed off as cuban, aren't they effectively legal to sell since they aren't actually a product of Cuba?

Not necessarly...for instance, it is illegal to sell fake illicit drugs, i.e, selling somone "fake" crystal meth...a felony, actually, at least in Illinois.

That's because that stuff has the possibility to kill you faster than the real stuff in some cases.

Unless this was tobacco dipped in arsenic I don't see a problem (other than the fakeness). :D

It's pretty much illegal to sell counterfeit anything...a few years back some guys in Fort Lauderdale got busted for trying to sell a buttload of fake Cubans...

I guess it would depend on if you are infringing on a US trademark. I see fake Coach/Channel/etc handbags all the time on eBay. I guess if you aren't moving truck loads at a time it may not be something the police put priority in.

I can't believe I missed this the first time around.
Way, way too funny.
I have pissed in my pants.

Reminds me of my uncle, who worked his butt off to buy a box for my dad and send it to him to thank him for all the aid he has sent to Cuba. Turned out to be a box of R&J Glass Tops with beetles.
A Cuban, buying Cuban cigars and bought fakes.

If the OP was a cigar expert, heck if he would sell two boxes of Cohiba brought back from Cuba. I would smoke those and share with friends.

Too bad it would in fact be too much work for the TOE's but it would be funny as heck for him to read this stuff. To think he thought there would be fools here to take advantage of.

I'm new to the forum, but figured it might be the right place to try to sell a couple of Cohiba boxes i brought from Cuba last week,
......
The transaction would be used using ****** i have a business account with them since 2007 so you can buy with confidence, drop me a line here or email me at Bannedforlife@yahoo.com.
Since he was new to the forum it had to be the right place.:r

Buy with confidence.:r

Couldn't be funnier.

Wonder if this guy was actually serious, or if it was just a joke.....

I'm sure he was a very serious criminal or ignorant to what a real cuban cigars are and look like. These look like a typical run-of-the-mill fake box of Cubans with stickers not attached. Seen dozens and dozens of the exact thing on Craig's List, fleabay, the former yahoo auctions and shmucks like this one trying to peddle them every now and again. Usually for $200-250.............for a box of Esplindidos? Right. :rolleyes:

Where hast thou gone, kwagga? :r
