MagicalBikeRide Posted August 1, 2024 Posted August 1, 2024 I’ve said it a couple of times (sorry if I’m repeating myself) but this is a reasonable example - I feel the biggest downside to plain packaging is not storage, aesthetics, experience, etc., but actually increased opportunity for scammers and less information for us buyers. Until now, I hadn’t thought about the idea that those who have bought solely in countries with plain packaging will have effectively zero exposure to the usual checks when they encounter a branded box. And frankly, if someone that is a member of this forum is unsure - what chance does the average punter have? It’s such a silly rule in that context.

So it’s funny that you say that because I was told that someone has been buying Cubans from this seller for the past 10-15 years and only now is being told the news that they’ve been fakes.
GerardMichaelTX Posted August 6, 2024 Posted August 6, 2024 Why wouldn't politicians advocate for plain packaging when they're the ones who own the cartels?
