Given that these have been circulated here and elsewhere I am going to cross post this information. It has been determined that Bruce Taira (Bruce) has circulated a vast amount of fake vintage cigars, namely Dunhills and Davidoffs, over the course of many years. It is unclear whether he did it knowingly or unknowingly, but his response has been to deny they are counterfeit. He has been added to the scumbag list and any dunhills or davidoffs purchased from him should be considered suspect. We know he also has had plenty of legitimate product over the years but that is irrelevant to this issue. It is a very unfortunate circumstance but one that needs to be put in the open. Related to this situation, ChiBnkr has also been added to the list for circulating significant amounts of counterfeit vintage/rare cigars including 1492s, 1994s, Partagas 150s, Dunhills and Davidoffs. If you think your stock may be affected please read the links below, there is some good information on tell-tale signs to look for.

There is still work underway and I cannot and will not provide more detail on that. There may also be more names added to the list, and there will definitely be detailed entry pages with archived information for any entries that are made. The discussions thus far are linked below:
