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."
Most of the "premium" consumable products on the market - fruit juices, sodas, booze, meat, dairy, etc. - use dyes in their production. Unless you grow all of your own food and drink you're ingesting dyes pretty much every day.

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