I definitely think the lawsuit is dumb here, but who can really blame them. Most of us who smoke Tatuaje don't smoke Altadis products much if at all. Can you really claim trade mark infringement on something as old and iconic as the Fleur De Lys? I guess if Fuente can claim they own the letter X, then what is the difference?
