They used to smuggle liquid coke then reconsitute it back but not before adding cut. Its extremely easy to do this, just takes 2 to 3 chemicals. I've actually witnessed this on both ends. They claimed it was easier to smuggle large amounts. Not sure if this stills goes on now- haven't been involved since the early eighties. The haydays were in the 70's- got to admitt had alot of fun. Never once got caught. I contribute that to keeping everything confined to a very small group of old time friends never letting anyone else know anything, everyone decided to give it up went everything went "gangster" and quality dropped dramaticly. All in the past now, only exciting memories.
