    their, not there
    competitive not competitve

    Spell check would have caught the second one but not the first, it can't fix stupid.

    Well thanks for the kind words... unfortunately typos do slip through every once in a while.

    Using "there" instead of "their" is not a "typo." Do you know why that's even wrong? Study this sentence and tell us what you think:

    I can't believe they're buying their cigars there at Ol' Time Cigars.

    You don't even have to know the difference between a possessive adjective, an adverb and a contraction, all you need is a 5th grade education.

    How can your "typo" on competitive "slip through" on this site because the second you hit the space bar, it lit up with a red, squiggly underline telling you that you spelled it wrong before you posted it?

    You have now met Ms. Crabtree - our resident grammarian. He'll give you a run for your money, like a nun in grade school!

    Which is really not such a bad thing. CC86 does provide a valuable service. Like it or not, the types of customers who buy high end cigars would notice spelling and grammatical errors.

    Personally, I could give a shit about this guy's grammar, or buying from him. But, that's just me.

    No one is paying much attention to him anyway, he's "out of stock" on Opus X, Añejos, he doesn't have any premium Padrons listed, etc., so it's not like he's going to be selling any cigars to any of our members anyway.

    If he's got any brains at all his "takeaway" from this experience would be to do a better job when trying to market his business. Typos and ignorance of the simplest rules of the King's English are a recipe for disaster for guys like him. The sad thing is he appears to have no clue at all how lazy, sloppy and stupid he makes his business look when he makes mistakes like this.

    I'll admit that I make mistakes too like many others when posting my comments on blogs or internet bulletin boards BUT when I'm preparing a cover letter to a potential employer or a campaign piece to be distributed to tens of thousands of voters trying to sell my candidate, I'm going to be God damned sure it's perfect regarding grade school English and typos. The same logic applies when one is posting advertising for one's business on the internet. This guy is trying to sell himself and his business and the only thing we know about him at this point is he's lazy, sloppy, not very bright and worse yet, when he's made aware of his mistakes, he doesn't take responsibility and cops an attitude. What potential customer would want to deal with a "businessman" with an attitude like that? Not me, that's for sure........

    Customer: "Hey Old Time Ceegars, I paid for a five pack of Añejo 60s and you shipped me a five pack of Muniemaker Longs, what the hell is wrong with you jokers?"
    Old Time Ceegars: "Well thanks for the kind words... unfortunately dog rockets do slip through every once in a while."
