I don't think the list should be or even can be the end all be all of your cigar buying or selling activities. But it is a great resource to start ones investigation as to who you want to do business with. The decision is up to you, so take advantage of all the information available and the list can be a good starting place. Remember where there's smoke there might be fire, or maybe just a cigar smoker. Be careful out there people.  :bigup:

Good point.  It works the other way around.  You shouldn't just go off a list alone as a reason to/ to not use somebody or some shop.  Perfect example, there is an old list floating around that is years old of foreign vendors.  Many of them on there are unverified and some are known to be shady.  Use the information, but do some due diligence on your own.

...and also... if you trade with someone on the list, don't whine if you get skrewed. :)
