too bad, it's a great blend

What's the deal with the JJ ad? Who is this JJ?

Another vote for the hl as my favorite Illusione and the 68 as a very nice short smoke.

Dion had (has?) an ad campaign that featured a photo of Jim Jones.

Two posts below your quoted post. Or maybe a google search of Jim Jones??

The fact that people are talking about his use of a mass murder for marketing is hardly proof that marketing is working. I mean for God's sake, children were forced to drink poison that day by their parents. I remember the pictures of hundreds of bloated dead bodies in the news. Children killed by their parents is as putrid and disgusting as parents abusing their children. As a parent, I find this use of JJ in marketing deplorable, to be polite.

Nonetheless, I have seen pictures of Dion and he is a pup. Tell him to shave the sideburns. I attribute this marketing to his youth. Either that or the drugs. Because I haven't been personally exposed to this marketing, I'll let him slide. But for sure, this marketing isn't smart.

Finish reading the thread before replying, it works wonders to answering questions....
