PuroDiario Posted July 12, 2023 Posted July 12, 2023 I guess good bye to Cuban Cigars….my storage unit was broken into and with it my 3 coolers went away. Can’t describe how I feel to be honest, I had a lot of stuff there but the collection is the only thing that is truly killing me. I feel devastated. 42
BrightonCorgi Posted July 12, 2023 Posted July 12, 2023 Sorry to read this. Anything I can help with to lend a hand? Were there security cameras? 2
Popular Post 99call Posted July 12, 2023 Popular Post Posted July 12, 2023 This is really horrible to hear. The lost dollar value is gut wrenching, but nothing compared to the stories of some boxes, and the inability to collect such items again. I really feel for you. One thing definitely worth doing, is plugging yourself into as many secondary market platforms as possible, and filling out daily search criterors that will go directly to your email. One good thing about Cuban Cigars, is that in order to get the value for them, it's not something a criminal can just sell in a backstreet. Scumbags like this are usually quite thick, and will often try and sell stuff on ebay, gumtree etc. 5

PuroDiario Posted July 12, 2023 Author Posted July 12, 2023 I have a spreadsheet with all dates and codes. Is this something we would be able to track down in these platforms? Thank you 2

Thank you I wouldn't put anything out there that might tip them off. I would contact all your local cigar stores and speak to the managers to make them aware of anyone trying to offload cubans etc. If they are going to try and sell on second market platforms, it's unlikely they are going to be clued up enough to know the relevance of dates/codes to include them in the advert. Again, I think the best thing you can do is to sign up to as many platforms as you can, and to put in a long list of search terms that will get forwarded to your email automatically. Yes it will mean you email will get a little flooded everyday, but it will save you having to slavishly search for whats out there. Maybe consider putting your list up on the private American members forum on FOH, so the good men and women of this forum can keep an eye out for you too 3 1
gormag38 Posted July 12, 2023 Posted July 12, 2023 Ughhh. I'm so sorry to hear that. If we can be of any help trying to track down the boxes please let us/me know. 2
BrightonCorgi Posted July 12, 2023 Posted July 12, 2023 You should be able to submit a claim against the loss on your insurance.
joeypots Posted July 12, 2023 Posted July 12, 2023 Sorry to read this. I’d be heartbroken if my stash was stolen. A terrible loss.
shokao Posted July 12, 2023 Posted July 12, 2023 I'm so sorry to read it. Maybe you can try insurance at least to have some of the money back? 2
PuroDiario Posted July 12, 2023 Author Posted July 12, 2023 Grand larceny report filed with the police and the whole show today. Thank you all for the suggestions just contacted the insurance company w the police report. Thankfully I was keeping a few nice and aged boxes between other storage unit and back home in Spain. I will post a list of codes and dates on US private forum for anyone that may come across those to ring the bell. hopefully can recover some of it somehow and share with whomever near by. champagne problems relative to real life problems, but horrible nonetheless. thank you all again! 3
benfica_77 Posted July 12, 2023 Posted July 12, 2023 I hope you pull a miracle and recover at least some of your boxes Terrible news 2
El Presidente Posted July 12, 2023 Posted July 12, 2023 So sorry to hear Eduardo. Gut wrenching. If you need your list valued for insurance purposes, shoot me a PM and we can hook up. 3
westg Posted July 12, 2023 Posted July 12, 2023 Shit people. So sorry to hear , it makes me so sad to read this . 1

If you need your list valued for insurance purposes, shoot me a PM and we can hook up. This would be very interesting to discuss as he is in New York and Cuban cigars are illegal here. I wonder if insurance would even pay out for it. I wonder if the storage unit had insurance, and if it didn't, I have heard of a storage unit being covered under home owners/renters insurance depending on the company and policy. In my mind thinking as an insurance company, cocaine and Cuban cigars are in the same illegal boat, so if your 4 kilos of nose candy is stolen out of the trunk of your car and you file a claim, I really don't think that they would pay that out.
