This whole Chinese Kayfun deal is just crazy.
First you had the original "Kayfun", or was it the original "Russian"? ... One was basically a copy of the other ... Well, no problem at all since these two different guys that used to work together split ways and began making there own "Kayfuns" under two separate companies (or was it they began making there own "Russians") ... Oh, never mind, they were good friends and just began making a similar product. There really was not any real 'illegal patent violations' going on because these two guys were still pretty good buddies and had agreed that they would both make basically the same product.
Then came those nasty little patent violators "the Chinese" into the picture ... They could care less whether or not they were copying some other companies product design or not. In fact, some of these Chinese companies went to far as to engrave "Designed in Russia - Made in Germany" on there fake Kayfuns, and even put the corporate "Svoemesto logo" on there fake Kayfuns too (a violation of "Intellectual Trademark Property" laws) ... Question: When did Germany take over ownership of Hong Kong? .... "Made in Germany" ... Give me a beak!
Well, these Chinese violators of all respected international trade and manufacturing laws were selling these cheap Kayfun / Russian fakes to US customers all day long at about a third of the price of the real thing without impunity (and since the Chinese government don't really like the United States anyway, this 'Communist' government could care less if anyone is in violation of copyright laws)
Now, to add even more confusion and disbelief to this whole situation, a few new Chinese upstart companies have gone so far as to clone the very Kayfun clones that are being manufactured in China and illegally sold in the United States.
Now, we have to worry if we are buying a real HCigar fake, or a cheap Chinese fake of the Chinese HCigar fake!
Unbelievable!

Just thank the good Lord above that China isn't making any commercial airliners ... Better for the world that they keep there manufacturing down at a lower technology level, such as making Chinese drywall, powdered baby milk and children's toys with lead based paint.
... Yup, now we have to ask ourselves ... Is this an 'authentic' cheap Chinese HCigar Kayfun clone we are buying, or is this nothing but a cheap fake copy of the authentic cheap Chinese HCigar Kayfun clone.
shakes head ...
