Perhaps you guys should check to see if it is a public poll before showing your true colors.

To be fair the option was given for them to respond honestly. As a company not everyone is going to like you or care about you. That dosen't mean Andy and I are gonna call it quits and stop selling cigars. The great thing about a group as large as the asylum is that you can get a feel for many different opinions not just positive. Without both positive AND negative feedback a company can never grow.

I dont think so, its a poll and all honest opinions are welcome. I didnt realize when i made the thread that everyone would see the results... There is nothing wrong about NOT wanting to know about something or a company. The way the poll is worded the only dislike would be Option 2, saying yes they know us but dont like us. But even then that is a fair answer. I personally dont care for some companies either in the cigar industry or any other. But thanks just the same for sticking up for me

As to your question, Yes we are a pretty new company. I will answer one of the other questions here about how we got into the biz. Its quite a long story but it will be up here in a few minutes.

True colors?

Andrew posted a poll and asked for opinions...if he didn't want to hear about people with opinion #4, he wouldn't have put it in the poll.

I smoke probably 400 cigars a year. Maybe 2 or 3 of them are non-Cuban, so if I were to vote, it would be "No, don't care", because I really don't care about NC cigars....just my opinion, my personal preference. But I might get called out if I say that? Thick skin is not a bad thing.

All my Cubans sit untouched in my humidor. The best Cuban I ever had was a 1992 Partagas Lusitania Cabinet. Other than that, nothing stands out.

Many people I know all in the cigar manufacturing business rarely find Cubans interesting. It seems the more you really know, and get involved in cigar production, tobacco farming etc, the more you realize Cubans in the last 20 years are generally garbage.

Nice first post.

Are you always this snobbish or is this your normal, sunny, disposition? I have a feeling the Cuban cigar industry, like Bud, will somehow go on without you.

Smoke what you like and like what you smoke.
