Boycott Fuente/Newman - message I recieved

[bigpoppapuff]

as i stated earlier...the fuentes and some of the fuente lemmings are the ones that think that carlito's shit doesn't stink....i assure you...guillermo leon and his family mean much more to the D.R. than the fuente's do......carlito can take his curly-heads and shove him up his ass....

the fact that he thinks he owns the letter "x" is laughable...as is the way he treats his retailers.....

What Kevin and Sid say are absolutely true. I cannot disagree with them at all. The Fuente's are very selective in how they send items to their retailers. It's somewhat about those that generate business for them, but even more about how enthusiastic a Fuente representative. The who "X" issue was laughable... I always thought these cigar families worked cooperatively - and then you have the Fuente family... Kind of an enigma...

However, those HCF POS's that are calling for a boycot have alot of nerve - given the way they treat "non-family" members. Further - if you do not agree with them you will find yourself on the outside looking in - and they will do everything possible to make life miserable. Such as flooding advertisers with nonsense e-mails about not patronizing them because they choose to post on a board owned/operated and/or populated by people they don't deem worthy...

I just find it amazingly ironic that the HCF crew is getting a good taste of their own medicine - and they're finding it awfully bitter. Maybe they should take heed to the message...

Also - if I were the Fuente Family and was concerned about the "Cigar Family" name - I would go after a board like the HCF. C'mon - their brand of nonsense can be damaging to the reputation of something like "Cigar Family" at Fuente - if someone were to draw a possible association between the two. While most insiders know there is no connection, someone new to the cigar board world may not see the distinction and believe they are somehow related...

But, who am I - I'm just a "Cigar Snot" and "Cigar Snots" are not welcome at HCF ...

Paintball - you really have to be careful about how you post. It looked very much like YOU were calling for the boycott. While you may think you are doing the overall community a service by posting that message, you're not realizing you are stepping on some toes... If you know what you're doing - that's great. If you don't, that could be very bad...
