I remember that too. While it is believable for the most part, Lew's reputation as a master bullshit artist when it comes to stories about cigars preceeds him.

Such being said, I agree with Moe, carrying an ammo can through the airport is probably not a smart idea. Even if you get past TSA, third world country airport security might respond violently to what they see as a military ammo can.

Yeah, and I suppose the reason he could not fulfill the orders for these, which he'd gone to the expense to advertise, was so he could spin a good yarn, even if it p!$$ed off customers.

I never said that. More like he embelished the story.
