leaving out the cigar shops name. if anyone buys from this region you can PM me first if you need to confirm they didn't come from this shop.

With all due respect, if this shop is an authorized Fuente dealer as you indicated in your OP, then I feel that being more forthcoming with their name would behoove the community as a whole. as who is to say that their fakes end with these HTF fakes?

Not everyone buys locally.

If this were a CC vendor, they'd be tarred, feathered and lynched by now, but to protect them in this fashion because they are in the US is, IMO, BS.

Fair enough, although I wasn't aware of such, and I seem to recall at least one recent thread which one person slammed a humidor vendor and the thread is still up.

On a personal viewpoint note, I don't see outing an NC vendor who sells fakes as bashing, but rather a public service, but I can see how the thread could quickly degenerate into chaos. Of course, this isn't my site, so what I think doesn't mean dick.

BTW, to make things perfectly clear - I have no issue with you or your actions brother, I actually wanted to edit the last sentence of my previous post because I thought it sounded too harsh and might have given the wrong impression, but I was past the time allowed for edits once I had thought about it.

Please mods clear the policy on this up. I know I would certainly like to know who the former seller of fake Opus is/was! LOL !

Jay, If the mods OK this would you please post the name/adress of said shop?

It could save another BOTL some trouble.

I Should have looked more closely to this post when I first saw it and not from my IPhone. When the Opus Shark made it's way to DFW, I believe that they were in boxes of 30, and not bundles of 20. Honestly, I should have just bought the whole box and be done with it. Doug is correct in that they had the gold lettering on the cello and the foot was unbanded.

the box was actually 36 and had gold lettering. the kind the vendor was selling looked exactly like the ones on vitolas.net which is the old set style that you can only get in the fuente promeuthus humidors (sp).

someone had one on ebay recently
