You may not agree with them but it doesn't make them communist. You made an emotional comment that was incorrect. No harm or shame in it.

If you set or fix a price of something, you are fixing the price. If that disagrees with specific accepted jargon ... well, gee. I can understand why Olivia is interested in maintaining cigar prices in the market, but Mike's prices on most things are 10% below MSRP. Big whoop. I get more than that here at my local. But I'm not a competitor and am not going to squeal to Olivia. I haven't purchased anything from Mike's in years, I really don't care.
