My friends I have a serious question...

What are the laws regarding buying cigars online? Me and my bro are cigar freaks but not too many shops in my area. Our regular shop one day had an ATF agent visiting and had a list of names who orders online around here. Im not about to get in trouble with the law however c-bid.com needs my money and I want to give it to them and I want the freedom of getting from other online places. I live in arkansas and if you can help me i thank you.

Eh, I wouldn't worry about it.

Order whatever you want.

Just put on some N.W.A. "Fu*k the police" and start buying. JK. I haven't seen too many laws myself but I'm still new to the scene.

I do have a buddy who got more than he bargained for trying to come back from Canada with illegal cubans. That obviously a little different.

Something not quite right with this story.........

Who said what to whom???

It's not against the law to buy cigars on line...... Buy extra smokes and when the ATF agents show up at your house from their "mystery list".... invite them in and offer them a good cigar!

WTF???

Are you like 12 years old???

Are you buying Cuban's???????

Who told you the ATF was walking around with a list of cigar buy'ers from the internet?

That just sounds .................. like a crock of shit.

Hey man calm down!! I was there and I seen the list only because the cigar shop owner was a good friend of mine and he is a good friend of the agent. The only thing I could get outa him was the reason for the alarm was because of different state tax laws. something about buying from a state and not paying your state taxes for that item. It might sound like a load but thats what I was told. Im all for buying smokes online and I just want to cover all bases.

Yeah so I come here asking for an answer and I get some schmuck who judges me because im new here yet all I see here is people treating me with kindness and respect except you. So as far as " up yours " is concerned, It looks like your the asshole with an "entrance only" sign right below your " Compensating for lack of balls so no reach arounds please!!" sign. I will not be coming back to this board.

Steve... (rite),,,,,,

I don't know you.... you could be a great guy....

But you asked a question and give very little details. It seems very .... odd. You don't say what state you are in.... and you bring in the ATF and lists.

Give us more information if you are going to get into such an important thought.

And telling someone to CALM DOWN...... is not what you say to someone if you want them to understand you and listen. I'd say it's the LAST thing you want to say to someone if you do not want to escalate the deal.

Now.... give us details if you really want advise.

What state are you in..... what shop are you talking about?..... and do you really think the AFT has a list of internet cigar purchases? If so... give us details so we understand.

I am listening..... but have no problem calling BS with a someone NONE us know. Just help us understand what you are talking about.

And if you look.... I did edit my "up yours" comment..... to be respectful and give you the time to explain.....

Butt you know.... calling me an asshole..... just means I have to say "UP YOURS"... again.....

So now what?

Do you man up and talk.... or run away?



Damn.... all this dramma for a freaking smoke....
