BrightonCorgi Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Wasn't sure what is allowed or not, but I got an email from a vendor that is new to me. They are registered in Denmark, but ship from the Dominican Republic. Their Cohiba prices are quite good. I did not want to post their name without knowing the rules on this. Maybe what I have mentioned is enough to go on? If you know who I am eluding to; are they legit?
shlomo Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 you are currently on a vendor's site asking about a competitor....obviously not allowed. Although, if registered in Denmark and shipping from DR with great prices on Cohiba, probably not a competitor at all...LOL 4
BrightonCorgi Posted June 30, 2017 Author Posted June 30, 2017 We talk about competitors all the time from Gerard, Portmann's JJ Fox, LCDH, etc... 1

Extremely. CCs don't generally even make their way to the DR. I recall a recent discussion about it being nearly impossible to find legitimate CCs there. Their own domestic tobacco industry is fairly protected. 1

That is what I am thinking as I believe they have other "affiliated websites" that bother me from time to time asking if I want to buy cigars... I always say no and to take me off their list, but they don't get it.

SCgarman Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Not exactly proper etiquette to discuss subjects like this here publicly on the forum. All I will say is what NSX said above, there is no LCDH on D.R. and no legit Cubans there. Why would there be? That would be a direct conflict of interest with their own cigar industry! Steer Clear! 1

I don't think anyone has broken the rules... No vendor was mentioned or given enough context to make it obvious... I have my answer though. Thanks!
LordAnubis Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 From how i understand, there is a difference between a "vendor" and a "B&M". FoH and others are a "vendor". JJFox, LCDH's and others are a "B&M". You are welcome to discuss the facilities and share your opinions about other B&Ms, to the benefit of the community. This is not a bitch and moan hub. I gladly share my experiences with various B&Ms i have visited. Be very careful about asking the "fake or real" question though. You dont want to be spreading unsubstantiated claims about a vendor on a public forum. The owner of this site has legal obligations to adhere to. There are rules, but there's only one rule. And that's Pres' rule. He will wince at this and may not like it too much but keep it up. Or if he is uneasy he will remove the thread. For now, you have your answer, and i'll lock the thread. 1
