Or you can look here http://www.hopeforthewarriors.org/ca...41227/partners and see they are a corporate partner. I have no dog in this fight and I have not and will likely not purchase one of these smokes but I am curious to see if any consistent cigar smoker has tried one and what their honest opinion was.

Save the three shills (and counting) whom have graced us with their presence, I don't believe that any of us have a dog in this fight.

While their status as a contributor to the charity was established some time ago, I couldn't see where you got their contribution status based on that particular letter, thanks for clearing that up. What I question, and have been questioning in these regards since the beginning of this thread, is what that amount or percentage is, as any amount, no matter how trivial, grants one the right to make the claim of contribution. Furthermore, from a personal standpoint, I find the waving around of this claim of contribution to be reprehensible as donating to charity shouldn't be about giving yourself bragging rights.

As for the selling of a gimmick, that doesn't bother me, but don't act like it's not a gimmick. Such behavior makes me seriously question the product.

I do wish them success with their business, but it won't be my wallet that contributes to it.
