Container spotted headed to Winnipeg!-(P

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

Could bomb the cr@p out of you with that little lot

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

How do you steal an entire container, and how do you fence the goods?
Seems a little hairbrained to me......

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

Hundreds of thousands of cigars - WOW!

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

Some mobsters will be smoking good for a few years.

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

Wanna nab these crooks? Look for some guy trying to score a few hundred board feet of Spanish cedar and half-a-ton of beads to make that container into one hellacious humidor.

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

Inside job and turn it around with new numbers or transfer the goods and ship them to Asia, Russia or the Ukraine (or other former USSR countries w/ seaports). A nice bribe and they clear import.

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

Yah that's not someone with a crowbar backing up a white panel truck, I would bet they are already on a ship going some place else, I would assume that those containers have some kind of gps tracking / lo-jack like devices... of course that would make too much sense so never mind.

Quick let's create a company that installs them and tracks containers! Someone get Klugs on the phone! :lr

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

Pretty tough to sell those so my guess they just nabbed a container to see what was it it. Probably end up leaving them to be recovered.

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

I used to work for a company that basically pioneered the container asset tracking technology. It was too far ahead of it's time (pronounced: "expensive") almost no one bought it.

I know there are more advanced systems out there now that cost less, but I really have no idea how widespread they are. I'm sure some companies use them. If I were someone like Dell, I'd slap tags on that container like clearance stickers at a K-mart. But Fuente? Betcha a Padron 64** that they are looking into it now.


**: Would have said an Opus X, but that would be cruel. And impossible to get.***

















***: Too soon?

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

just a guess but although the manifest probably said the container was loaded on the ship in the DR, it never made that ship and it took a different route off the island.

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

That's impossible because I'm the first to think of it. This is some kind of ruse.

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

I didn't read the first post, is this thread about cigarflip?

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

My local B&M had a large order of to include some Opus X on that shipment among others...the owner got a personal call from them explaining the loss. And his money refunded..

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

I have 87 boxes of Opus X for sale. Anyone interested?

I also have 87 boxes of AF Hemingway for sale. Anyone interested?

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

Container found

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

What a terrible article. Why not tell us where the container was found?

I bet all the Opus X were stolen

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

Insider in the harbor, containers get stolen every day, same way with drugs getting in the harbor and smuggled out of containers by harbor employees

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

is it fuentes friday yet?

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

Probably because law enforcement didn't want that information released.

"Smith declined to comment on where or when the container was found, citing the ongoing investigation by law enforcement"

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

Yep. Did you ever watch Season 2 of The Wire?

That is dumb. LE tells us they found the container but won't say where.

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

I'm sure they have their reasons. Maybe when I grow up and become a cop or an FBI agent, I'll have a better answer for you.

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

I'd tell you but there is an ongoing investigation so I won't. :tu

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

and season 1, 3, 4 and 5.

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

I think it is the best series of all time.

My order:
1. The Wire
2. The Sopranos
3. Breaking Bad

Re: Fuente Cigar Heist
 

I agree with 1 & 2, but I wasn't the biggest Breaking Bad fan. Liked Dexter more and love The Walking Dead, both rank over Breaking Bad imho
