friction there, Sam certainly believes that without Nub and Cain, Oliva would not be anywhere near where they are today. Anyone that knows anything at all about the last 40+ years of the industry knows that the Oliva's are close to being the smartest leaf people in the business, but even from my position far outside the NC circle, I know that it's not how much you know about raw materials, it's how much people know about your product. Their cigars were good, but not a HUGE name in the market necessarily. I think that any negative feelings they may both have are FAR outweighed by what they BOTH learned from the OTHER. I would be willing to bet they were both glad to be rid of each other. Just like all of the characters I create for my boss' commercials become his property when I leave, Sam really couldn't take his lines with him. but I am sure he feels like he has everything he needs to be just as successfull in his new venture. Let's hope he has the LEAF, though. Great ideas, great names and great reputations don't go INSIDE the wrapper. You need tobacco for that. |
