Cuban cigars 101 - Other than Behikes, regular production cigars, regionals, and ELs are not rolled "entubar." The great custom rollers, however, like Toboada, do roll that way.
Cuban cigars 201 - Butifarras are bigger than a 54 ring gauge. Yours aren't. Coincidentally, Butifarras are the only cigars for which Habanos did not disclose the dimensions in advance.

Thank you Eddie...I am happy with my "fake" cigars. Toboados and Hamlet customs go for 25 pounds sterling each....so worst case....I paid 40-50 bucks (25 pounds) for custom cigars I enjoy. Richard may be a fake person, but I love his cigars....never asked for a refund either and never will buy from him again on principle for misrepresenting who he is.
You have my number if you wish to discuss.

Ryan, no way I hate you. I like you a lot and have enjoyed our many PMs. I actually feel bad for you and wish this wouldn't have happened. Eventually I think you'll realize that we all make mistakes and this just happened to be a public one for you. I just hope you aren't going down the same path that sigsauer is with his head buried in the sand.
This too shall pass, Ryan.

Richard is not Richard...this is clear by now.
Gomez....Goddamnit...do you know to look both ways before you cross a street? Do you know stranger = danger? Are you an adult or not? Can you not make a decision for yourself...can other adults who earn a living be totally incapable of making a decision as to what to spend their cash on?

And in one paragraph, Ryan, you have distilled this to the moral of the story.

I get it. And it's good to hear that you're cutting ties and not buying from him again. To be honest, I prefer that you smoke the cigars and not send them back. If you did, you'd just give him more inventory to pass on to unsuspecting smokers. Enjoy them and forget you ever dealt with Rama.

Just to make something very clear... some folks have PM'd me stating that TL [b]did[/b] represent himself to them as Richard Goren the comedy writer. They had ongoing discussions regarding the comedy writing industry.

Anyone else think Richard Goren was kind of an odd choice of an alias?
