This is so wrong...
http://www.justfakes.com/

As if identifying genuine cigars weren't hard enough.
This entrepreneur has decided to become a "manufacturer" for fake labels, thereby aiding fake Cuban cigar "manufacturers".

So freaking wrong...

I've already emailed Habanos SA about this.

I just blasted the email on the site with some hateful words. I also sent Habanos SA and email we'll see what they say. If you want to send them one as well here is the email and website. I just read through theit website and enjoyed the read. Good pictures of the Habanos Festival, which I want to attend someday God willing. Any of you noobs, like me, may want to get some of your info from the horses mounth and check it out.

HABANOS S.A. CORPORATION

Address: 3ra No. 2006 e/ 20 y 22, Miramar,
Ciudad de La Habana, Cuba

Phone: (537) 204-0510
Fax: (537) 204-0511
E-Mail: habanos@habanos.cu
Web: www.habanos.net

And that is not including the various distributors in various regions (Canada, Asia, Europe, etc.).

If anything,...counterfeiting operations run hand in hand w/ other crimes (drugs, etc.). So in a sense...drug enforcement agencies can be roped into this for some investigation.

Been around a long time.

If the site is based in the USA the company Habanos S.A. has not legal options because the USA doesn't not recognize them as owners of those copyrights.

They say everything is shipped from Ottowa. Maybe Fiel can hang one last criminal before he moves on. He could leave this world having done something truly good. :stretchgr

This is wrong on so many fronts. I say we round up a posse, get a couple of ropes...

I have written Habanos S. A. as well and I will let you know if they get back to me.

That does suck.

Surprised they don't sell that phony "duty free" circular stamp that I have seen lately on fake boxes at local tobacco shops here in Los Angeles.

Here's the email I sent to "Just Fakes"...

Just knowing that soon you will be soon shut down and prosecuted makes me very happy.

You are a low life, selling fruadulent items that will only create more fraud, counterfeiting, not to mention a complete disregard for reputable cigar brands that do business in a respectable fashion.

look at you...You are no different than any other wanna-be criminal who is simply supporting criminal activity since you have no sack.

Have fun paying fines and hopefully serving jail time, loser.

There is an old thread somewhere on another board where someone has an email exchange with justfakes on how to do fakes...I'll see if I can find it an C&P here.
