Cigar Counterfeiters Busted in Hialeah

Evidently, there was a cigar counterfeiting ring operating in Hialeah, Florida, about 30 minutes from where I live. According to the news story, they were making millions of a dollars a year selling inexpensive bundle cigars with Cuban cigar labels on them.

  1. Hey, that was my friend’s cousin who has family back in Cuba. You know, the one who can get great Cuban cigars really cheap.
