Re: Anyone Ever Smoke...
It's a popular tactic on the internet to characterize anyone with a negative opinion of something as a "hater." It's a cheap and lazy way to denigrate and minimize without the burden of formulating any argument of substance.
Fact: Rockey Patel dyes some of their cigars. I have a problem with any manufacturer which does that at all, but particularly with one which also sells itself as a premium maker. You can smoke **** and like it; it's your prerogative and no one is begrudging you your pleasure. But my opinion is based on fact, not "hate." |

In light of that I fail to understand the vitriol towards a cigar-maker that does the same. |

So its a little off topic, but my understanding is that cigar manufacturers dye for two reasons: - To cover up bad or miscolored wrapper leaf / make the cigar look more presentable; - To make a cigar look like a maduro (and even call it a maduro at times) without going through the time consuming and somewhat costly process of true Maduro fermentation. Either way, it sounds like a bit of a cop-out to me personally. Id still try a dyed cigar - heck I liked the Partagas Black some years ago - but I dont think Id put dyed sticks on my quantity purchase list. I guess smoke what ya like! :r |
