Fake St. Bruno is About!

[anotherbob]

The possibility that is is fake, is probably much smaller than the very real chance that it is just packaged differently. Maybe something to do with the fact that it is sold in continental Europe, but not the EU, which would make perfect sense.

I've heard that international tobacco rights and regulations are Byzantine. So there is certainly that.

I lived in Spain from 96 to the early 00’s. Having worked in & around Gibraltar a few times, quite familiar with what goes on there.
Gibraltar is well known for it’s cheap tobacco, diamond & jewellery shops. It’s also well known for it’s back street sellers of fake diamonds, jewellery & tobacco (& other shenanigans).

As someone who has lived for years in, and currently lives in, Gibraltar, this is absolutely not true. Gibraltar shops sell cheap tobacco because it is not taxed. We do not have "back street sellers" of anything. This is not some third-world country. Frankly, Gibraltar is more economically developed, socially organised, and safe than most of the UK mainland.

I strongly suggest that the two of you take this disagreement offline, where it should have been from the start. Public shaming isn't going to get this resolved. Being an adult and acting like an adult is what you need to do.

Hopefully they won’t close the thread down, no need to is there?
If a moderator can give man email to forward on the Mac Barens email, they could paste it into this thread. Moderators?

think its faked on purpose and not a mistake from the factory?

We have better wildlife conservation efforts now which helps keep the monkeys both healthy and away from the city itself.
Not sure what the problem is supposed to be with the Moroccans tho

Racist. No other way of saying it nicely.
