The seller is either a crook or a fool.

1) Crook -

Dude gets two Macs from the news/tobacco shop, slaps some price tags on them and tries to make a 1 billion percent profit.

2) Fool -

Buys the two Macs in Jamacia for $999.99 each *or somewhere else and adds that tidbit in an attempt to add some creditability to his story* and sells them.

Not trying to be rude, but there is no such thing as a Cuban Macanudo. The cigars you have listed may in fact have sold at a rather high price of $9.99 but anyone who pays more than that has been ripped off. I apologize if you were taken on the initial purchase but I would hate to see a second person ripped off.


The Macanudo brand is a legit brand but a Non-Cuban brand. As you can see in the link I provided they can be had for as little as $126 for an entire box of 25.

Thanks

Sorry for the delay on responding, long new years in NY. But yes I will be willing to split the deal with you. I will give you the non-cracked one since you are collecting it. Let me know what you want to do and when. I will be around for the most part. Thanks man, we will be talking. Happy New Years

I cannot believe this guy is for real!!! What a douchebag.

You should send him monopoly money and a print out from an online vendor showing the price of these things.

ADDRESS UPDATE:

After some evasive back and forth -- I think he wanted to do the exchange in person -- our seller finally coughed up a Syracuse University address.

He ends his most recent e-mail with this:



Should I give him Al's address to send the cigar?
