Container spotted headed to Winnipeg!-(P

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......

Hundreds of thousands of cigars - WOW!

Some mobsters will be smoking good for a few years.

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?
