Where the hell are you getting that from? There is not ONE person on this site who has "successfully started and maintained a cigar business" that I know of. If you can find these people, please point them out to us but I'm 99.999% sure there aren't any.
When people like you make stupid, wrong statements like this, you will indeed "irritate" a majority of the active members here and you shouldn't be at all surprised when you are subsequently met with "hostility."
Personally, I think you're an ass.
