Amman Jordan

miller65rod

Just returned from Jordan and all I can say is bring your own smokes.

I was at an upscale hotel and got into an argument with the lady running the lounge. They had Cohibas on hand and I wanted to buy one until I Iooked closer. Fake as hellll. They wanted 60 US for a Siglo VI as well cough cough. The band was so terrible I started laughing and that's when the argument ensued.

Lady said I didn't know what I was talking about blah... blah... blah. I tried to take a picture but security showed up. 

I was willing to settle for a Punch Punch but it was too late. 

Nice country to visit though.

I was so close to Beirut which has the Holy Grail of Duty Free La Casa's. 

Maybe one day.

You just need to get over your aversion to fake CC's, Rodney.

Yea I knew as soon as I said fake that all hell was gonna break loose.

I was polite about it is what really ticks me off.

I was in Amman some 23 years ago... if you can get out to Petra, I would strongly suggest it.

I plan on going back. I do want to see Petra and the Dead Sea. Did not have a chance this trip as it was strictly business.

Was the Punch Punch for security?

So how many people did you have to "take out" this time?

 Not counting the lady at the hotel cigar lounge.

hmm unfortunately that's a gamble you take at "unauthorized" retailers.....ya gotta stick with trusted sources.    

thankfully my buddy jorge down at the beach always hooks me up with the real deal.

Oooohh!!  You lucky dude. Hope you bought a bunch.. <chuckle>. 

What was the asking price - American?

Wow! They look so good.
And VAINilla too!
Those have got to be a limited production.

miller65rod

You all are too funny 

Those Vainilla have to be the worst fakes I have ever seen.

You can get 200 on Craigslist for those I bet.

You could put a Brick house label on those and they would still look like chit
