What Altadis cigar uses the Fleur de lys? I'm assuming there is one.

Ah... forgot about that one. I can definitely see where Altadis is coming from here. Pete has himself one of the fastest growing companies in the industry and Altadis isn't very well thought of in the industry. The Fleurs do look different though.

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?

Didn't they have a years long dispute with Opus One wines in the past?
