Intentional pun?

I didn't know CCOM sold machine mades, and was just flipping through to see what the descriptions were like, when I stumbled on this. I'm not sure if this was an intentional pun or just a misspelling, but either way, it's hilarious:

"Hav-A-Tampa cigars are all machine made, cutting costs that are passed along to the price savvy consumer who wants the most sticks for their dolor. "

    After a quick search, dolor is from Latin meaning pain or sorrow of a continuing nature. Perhaps it was intentional, as I'd have both continuing pain and sorrow if I was made to smoke a Hav-a-tampa.

    Haha, C'mon guys, you know we like to have a little fun from time to time. We're glad you picked up on it. However, if you do prefer Hav-A-Tampa, we're not judging you - so smoke what you like, that's what's best about this industry.

    I knew that C.com sold Backwoods but the machine made selection is new on the Cigars drop down menu. It kinda sucks because being young I get a lot of people who go "Oh man you smoke cigars. So do I, I love Black and Milds." I liked that C.com kept them off the site but hey the upper people say you gotta sell them, you gotta listen.
