I'm not implying that he compromises standards.

Again. If you are a farmer and even though all of your tomatoes are good. You give the select ones to those customers you now would be a pain. Who you want to keep in business because they are a good chunk of your base. No standards are compromised


I don't know how many different ways I can say it. I apologize if I gave the wrong impression in prior wording. We are not talking about big differences.

Besides. When I asked Eddie Ortega he was not offended.

How could they be different cigars if nothing has been compromised? Still not sure how you are going to make cigars differently without making them different blends to be different cigars. Unless you and your B+M are the only people in the world with a palate so refined you can taste the differences so subtle in the same cigars.

You can never have too many cigars, they are like an investment in good times.

You are suggesting that any B&M is a bigger account than any of the big online retailers that sell DPG?

Bzzzzztt

Sorry, that didn't pass the laugh test.

is there a way to hide a thread, for lack of a better term? i keep coming here, like someone staring at a car wreck, with morbid curiousity and this thread keeps making my brain hurt... maybe if i can't see it, i won't look.
