While visiting Paul-Sons last week (in Las Vegas) during the convention I overheard a phone conversation they were having with a customer.

Seems the customer had ordered some new chips made to DUPLICATE some of his old Cuban chips. The salesman was calling to let the customer know that Paul-Son would be unable to exactly duplicate some of the Cubans he had ordered because the exact color match was no longer / not available.

I asked to see the customer's "real" Cuban Chips and was shown about 6 different ones. SORRY - I neglected to asked for a Xerox copy of them! The paper work was already written up on the order... I saw the top order in the stack and it came to over $700. I don't think the address on the order was a Las Vegas one.

Just wanted to let you Cuban Collectors know....
