That is so freaking cool. It makes me want to dust off my idea of turning my old Cervelo P2 into a fixed gear to cruise around Queens when the weather gets nicer.

Yeah. That Russia, a staunch ally, is getting its people out is the reddest of flags to my eye. They haven’t recalled diplomats yet, which is the sole positive sign.

Also potentially different legal obligations accrue to a merchant with knowledge vs a random person selling a dead relative’s collection.

Indeed

Hi FoH. Just joined as I am new to cigars. Loving the journey so far, although the wallet is not.

You must be pretty tall, no? Lovely bike shop you got there. Quite serious. Campagnolo spoken here as well. Both my bikes are Campy!

This seller would be a fraud if he promoted the fakes as authentic. He could say he doesn't know which are real or not and leave it at that.

The estate sold the whole collection The merchant, who presumably bought the collection to sell, now knows for sure that 25% of the boxes are counterfeits, wants to know if there is a obligation to notify prospective buyers that there are fakes in the collection? WTF? Grow a spine and suck it up. Buyer beware? Seller knows. End of story.

I would stay out of it. It's not your show to rain on their parade. If someone asks, you should be honest, but I wouldn't be active in derailing their estate sale.

Noob questions. I see the Puro Desnudo & MOFOH Forum in “the water hole”. I also see what I think are new unread discussions based on the TapTalk showing a blue line beside the forum. Yet nothing shows up new after I open it. My question is do you have to have a certain amount of posts to see this? Is there a secret handshake? Would this not be the place for information for new Bond Roberts/2 Sisters/MOFOH/Nudie information? I receive emails regularly from FOH and Fabrica5 with some information in this regard. Specials and so forth. Yet I find myself searching for answers to questions that I can’t find in regards to releases and what not. This group passes info better than 100 women in a sewing circle chugging Redbulls. Set me straight. What’s the deal?

Your supermarket buy 100 boxes of cereal from General Mills, 25% of it has tested contaminated/rotten/has pebbles in it. Supermarket has no obligation to alert for a recall or to warn its customers?!

Well every other sportswriter in Michigan has been saying that Skubal is as good as gone. Then again they all assummed he would be traded by now too. Maybe they get to the WS this season and take the L and he wants to try and run it back? I could see that. A big move for the Tigers recently is that just this week they announced they're going to have their own channel for broadcasting Red Wings and Tigers games on. 99 bucks for the year I believe. These TV deals are major cash cows so I'm sure the team is loving this. I bring this up because this creates another revenue stream for the team....potentially one that we can use to make a big signing? But what happens at the end of the year and there's no collective bargaining agreement? (as many are predicting) I'm not sure how the newly agreed upon contract situations would change the possibility of the Dodgers or Mets taking another swing at Skubz. Or perhaps what the Tigers could offer him. Oh and I can't forget about the other news; Verlander is home again. Hopefully where he can have one last run around and retire with the old English D on his cap. There was a motto around here for many years....'In JV we trust'. While not the same dominating force he once was, so many folks are thrilled that he's back.

Sale was acknowledged as buyer beware. I don’t see any responsibility or reason for the buyer to warn the general public. If the buyer’s got friends considering a purchase, nothing wrong with giving them a heads up.

I like this a lot. It's likely the family is ignorant of the issues but if they're made aware and continue to try and sell off the remaining stock then alarms should be set off. This indeed is an interesting tidbit. They obviously dug into things a little bit; is it possible that they just never considered the fact that they could be fugazi? Or did they 'skim' over some any research when 'provenance' showed up.

I’ll take them over a Quinteros band every day of the week. 😜

This 100%

Whether or not the sellers were aware that some of the stock may not be genuine, approach it as if they were unaware: Respectfully and sensitively explain to the sellers that some boxes aren't genuine and that the sale of the inventory needs to reconsidered. If they choose to continue the sale without full disclosure, there is no issue with flagging to potential buyers that they should be wary.

Damn it. Couldn't purchase from him as he puts his bag on the floor. 🫣
