I was watching the news the other day. FOX did another one of there special..."FOX Fights Back" or something like that, on the 10PM news. Anyway....their news anchor, armed with a hidden camera...went to a convenient store trying to buy a cigar. He tells the clerk (the clerk looked like Arif Adam) that he wants the finest cigar he has. The clerk brings out this Davidoff cigar, says that it is the finest smoke you can get, and that it is going for $25. So the FOX guy bought the damn thing...and took it to a cigar specialist. The specialist looked it at for a total of 5 seconds...and called the cigar counterfiet. He then said that the cigar had a value of about $2...and talked about how you can tell a cigar is fake, by a cheap looking wrapper. So they went back to the store...the clerk said that he didn't know it was fake, and that they would stop selling them. So later that day...the person from FOX goes back to the store, and it is still in the case. The clerk says that it is not for sale...etc. I understand that FOX contacted Davidoff about this, they took actions...etc. Jon
