Disappointment on Christmas Eve. - Page 2

If someone ever said they were unhappy with a gift I gave them, they wouldn't have to worry about that ever again.

One and done.

Educating someone to the existence of counterfeit cigars and telling someone you are "unhappy" with a gift are two completely different things.

I agree Tom...education is key....why pay Mercedes Benz prices for a voltswagon???

Sorry to hear Darryl...my opinion ... in any case need to thank, to try, but then say that Fake is absolutely differs from the originals ... you need to properly convey the essence of the problem..it's difficult, but I'm sure, if you say correctly, he will appreciate it

See, always a purpose for everything!

Bummer. My brother-in-law did the same thing. I told him they were fake but I appreciated the gesture. Then we talked about how we knew they were fakes. He is going back this summer so hopefully he will remember.

I got a PM asking what I meant by the above post. I just thought it was a perfect setup for a comical "seems legit" photo, didn't mean to imply anything about the newsletter. My bad

I've been here at CA since it's inception and never heard of a newsletter. Who compiles the info and puts it together and mails it out?

We used to have a MassHole Newsletter, but you had to be a MassHole instead of just an @sshole, Jay.

Zanaspus · 12-28-2011, 07:20 AM

Hey Darryl, props on the last issue of the newsletter. It was awesome.

T.G · 12-27-2011, 08:59 PM

I never got a newsletter.

Is it too late to get one now?

Bill86 · 12-27-2011, 08:59 PM

I got a Meth newsletter when I moved to TN. Does that count?
