Oh man, the infamous and very much statistically unfounded 95% rule and therefore we are smoking fakes.
When will that BS story cease to surface?

Some still believe in the tooth fairy also.

Consider the source, Carlos. If you're heavily invested in the sale/profit of cigars that you personally sell, or are deeply invested in, doesn't it make sense to propagate propaganda?
It took a single post for me to completely lose respect for an entire organization. I don't think I'm at all interested in CRA protecting my cigar smoking rights. I'd rather go with an outfit that's willing to roll the dice by spreading truth.

People with vested interests, as Scott pointed out, will misrepresent numbers to their advantage. I would tend to agree that if a vendor (e.g., a B&M) in the US is advertising Cuban cigars that they are fakes. Perhaps more than 95% since CCs are illegal for that vendor to import and sell on US soil. But to then extend this in the way that some do is, well ... let's see, there are lies, dammed lies and then something that begins with 'statistics'
