I'm curious to know when was the last time they had Sublimes listed on their website? They sell legit smokes so if they did have them listed around the time they were still available, I see no cause for concern. They are not a bad source in the sense of whether or not they are selling legitimate smokes. It has to do with their clientele being compromised.

how did they get busted?
"They" didn't get busted. However, many of their U.S. customers experienced some unfortunate and expensive issues. This is one of those sites that overexposed themselves with a huge internet presence, advertising anywhere they could. And it was also "the" source that people couldn't stop blabbing about and giving out to everyone who asked. It was only a matter of time before bad things were going to happen...and of course, they did.

Very well put. The only thing I would add is, "I wonder who's next..."

Agreed, and no, I don't even want to imagine who's next.
Regarding the Sublimes, I've never seen them carry it in the 6-8 months that I was aware of their existence. They do have several Asian REs to choose from.
I've gotten a confirmation from Kenith Wong of Pacific Cigar Company verifying their authenticity, so yeah, they sell legitimate CCs. Too bad those in the USA won't (shouldn't) be able to order from them.
Much of my wondering "who's next," has to do with the fact that some folks' lips seem as loose or looser than they've ever been about this stuff... just in case I was being too subtle.
edited to add...that's not directed at anyone in particular. Just seems in general that people are setting things up to have history repeat itself.
