Disreguarding B&M's, they were warned twice not to do it, and finally got dropped the third time. I'm sure Mike's had a reason too on why they dropped it.

I find it kind of comical that Oliva is there to protect his brand because Oliva is known for great cigars at low prices. I doubt that the brand would be in such high quantity that he'll either run out of have to lower his reject standards. And the MSRP is not Oliva's margin, his is probably set based on volume so whether the distributor makes $0.01 or $10.00 a stick, Oliva's already got his money.
