CI "Fake" Cigars?

[jp1979]

I saw this vid. He was not claiming it was long filler. His review/comments/dissection were related to the quality of the short filler, which appear rather unappetizing in the video.

So his point was a comparison of how quality short filler should appear compared to the floor scraps discovered within.

He titled the video, "cheap fake cigars". I don't see where the cigar is fake, the short filler is just really short

I don't know Matt, go to his website and read the main title and paragraph about these and see what you think then...

and at :53 in this vid he says its a Los Blancos Premium (it's premiere according to the websites) and says it is billed as a long filler...

I agree that the titling and description is sensationalism and innacurate. And thanks for pointing that out as I originally saw the vid when it was part of a cigars for warrior update video. This new posting is something I had not read yet.

The cigar quality is crap though and a poor example of quality short filler. I get bigger pieces out of a bottle of oregeno. Probably would have been better to describe the video as poor quality short filler vs good quality. The "fake" angle was wrong to use.

The first thing I thought was "did he just get here". I mean Bryan does seem to have a need for coming to conclusions swiftly. then, when there was no other references to long fillers anywhere, I thought wow, Trish and her buddies sure changed the descriptions fast after seeing that video. then I thought, no, maybe he has associated the "Premiere" in the title with "premium" which is an adjective or more to point, an opinion?

Maybe more to the point is, most can't handle the truth.

Or the majority opinion on this guy is actually correct....

Clicked the link, saw who it was, closed the window. He brings people into the hobby, so credit for him there. He just does some things I find questionable and his apparent attitude wears on me a bit. YMMV.

I haven't heard of that cigar, nor have I heard of fakes.
I don't shop online often, but so far my experience with both CI and C-Bid has been top notch.

This is why I come to the Bum and read the reviews,not youtube.

I wish we could be more circumspect when selecting thread titles. I'd really hate for any vendor to come in here and see what appears to be MORE vendor bashing which gave the old forum such a bad name in the community and stopped virtually ALL vendors from going there.

Just a thought.
