I think you should apologize.

To be perfectly clear, I think you should apologize to everyone that works/worked on the NC Partagas line.

I find the tone of your previous comment calling the cigar and most others in the line "Turds" to be quite offensive and aggressive in nature.

I don't care if you don't like the cigar. That's fine, and if you'd like to provide an opinion to someone who's asked for it... that's fine as well. However, being rude and insulting of a product that many people have toiled, sweated and sacrificed over goes far beyond any of those things. I think you are a "big boy or girl" and understand when I say you should have known better. In fact, I'm quite content to say that you've got a serious issue with manners. You can give an opinion on a cigar, even a negative opinion without likening the cigar to fecal matter.

When it boils down to it, I feel like if you can't say something good, don't say anything at all.

First let me say that I will not apologize for my opinion of a product. Last I checked this was a free country and I can express my opinion freely.

Second, it pleases me greatly that I have your apprval to dislike a cigar.

Thirdly, why not do a search of "Dog rocket" and see the thousands of posts it brings up.

You say that right after you insulted my manners? I don't belive I said anything other than my personal opinion on a product that I don't like. Perhaps you should heed your own advice.

I got my feelings hurt because I have a lot of pride in what I do and take it personally when someone starts calling out product that I work on.

So in regards to the subject matter, I have smoked them on several occasions to find them quite a pleasant, albeit, not all that memorable of a smoke.

So there you have it.

people shouldn't BAG these cigars, because you worked on em. I can see how that would feel. But in reality,
that's life in the internet age. People have and express their opinions, sometimes ridiculously. Your connection
to the product has nothing whatsoever to do with a person's right to their opinion. Personally, I find the Partagas
line to be among the best of a gigantic glut of store-clogging cigars that I find to be far too similar for their own
good. But I do not find them interesting enough to buy in stores, or onsale on the internet either. I am sorry
that this somehow implicates you, but that's still how I feel. I buy them all the time for the troops, but they
are not for me, and again, especially not boxes of "aged ones" I haven't any firsthand experience with them lately
though.

By the same token, I am not going to call them turds, either, but outside of telling someone "I think you are dead wrong",
I am not feeling your case on this one.

Brad - what part of "let's keep this on topic" don't you understand?
