While taking my morning surf..

[Boudie]

I noticed a pop up "contest entry" asking if I wanted to be notified when Cubans become available. It was either the Famous or Thompson site but since I saw it more then 15 minutes ago I don't remember which one.

Has anyone else seen the pop up? I wonder what it means for such a large U.S. e-tailer to be talking about providing Cubans?

Not going to happen bro

Definitely sounds sketchy

 

[Boudie]

I agree but just about every review site or podcast locale is advertising links for retailers that sell Cuban cigars. It's possible they will simply provide a link to an out of the country retailer. I know from trying to talk to customer service at Famous they have very little control over Famous Auctions and they could possibly handle a Cuban cigar e-tailer relationship similarly.

Really no big deal, just wanted to see if anyone saw the pop up?

Dang it, @Boudie! The title of this thread totally click-baited me! I was hoping that with a title of "While Taking My Morning Surf..." that the body of your post would be some crazy shark footage you picked up on your GoPro or something.

I mean, I'm glad you're safe and stuff...

HeHe, there is so little chance I will ever post video like that. The only shark footage I'll ever take is from behind 1 1/2 inches of glass at the Aquarium of the Americas! Sorry for the click bait.

No, famous couldn't legally do that.

Yeah I saw that a while ago. It's just a ploy to get you to sign up for their mailing list.

Thanks, at least I'm not crazy. I cleared all the cookies in my browser and since then I've been given plenty of new opportunities to sign up for a lot of lists.
