CI "Fake" Cigars?

[Ropey]

I'd really hate for any vendor to come in here and see what appears to be MORE vendor bashing

Looks like plenty of other guys here feel the same fear about upsetting vendors for some reason. Guess I'm the one person who appreciates full disclosure of the truth. I don't particularly care whether vendors come to this site or give money to the owners of the site or deals to the users here. I mean, if this site just ends up coming down to money then we might as well go back to puff. At least there it was obvious.

I'd much rather retailers give complete information about products to consumers, rather than expecting people to spend weeks, months and years researching cigars so they don't get ripped off.

And if guys like Bryan Glynn are doing it, then more power to 'em. The ad hominem attacks against him are quite revealing. I've always found that when someone makes a personal attack against someone rather than addressing the issue he's raised, it reveals the attacker as someone who's on the losing side of an argument. Every damn time. Anyway, that's all I got to say on the topic.

Dude, 90% of things you buy are advertised this way. Hooray for Brian he cut open a dog rocket and discovered it's actually still a dog rocket. He's my hero. If this video saved you from researching this $1.60 stick for months before buying it, awesome. His choice of words and title is poor and he's exaggerating the description of the cigar to bash CI. Like them or not pushing the envelope of slander by accusing them of selling fake crappy cigars is stupid.

As far as vendors go, it's nice to see vendors in here posting sales, discounts and having them participate in the forum which is a much different scenario than what your comment implies.

Why wouldn't you want vendors on board with the forum and offering deals to the members thats a great thing for everyone?

Off topic but... Is your avatar really a picture of Che Guevara?

For my comeback on the Nightly News I will be doing an in-depth deconstruction of these cigars for the American consumer to see. For $1.60 I demand the quality of a $10 cigar!
