Or is this a scammer and not the original? I tried doing a search of his name but only found a couple reviews (edit: reviews from when he was on SR).
In my personal opinion, which I've formed from others' opinions, this is how things should probably go. Distribute the traffic across many markets while at the same time not forcing vendors to have to pay fees for each marketplace they join, and then losing them when the site goes down. If they each had their own minimarket then they'd be in charge of it. Smokeables' site is hosted by a popular TOR server host, which I'll admit I'm not too familiar with these services and don't know how legit they are.
I bought a few things from Smokeables on Silk Road. Smokeables only sold legal items like cigarillos, blunt wrappers, MBBs, baggies and the like. He never sold so much as a cannabis seed during his SR tenure. Funny that this new "Smokeables" doesn't have any tobacco products, just marijuana. And whaddya know: this site also happens to be on the notorious scamsite TorShops.
If it smells like shit, the Grand Wizard recommends flushing it. And this is a big ol' steaming pile.
