If you read this Dennis, thank you for your response to a thread on another forum where I noticed another user made apretty unfair and short sighted comment about a very good blender in our industry. While I follow all the forums, my job somewhat restricts my activity on other forums and your rebuttal and comments were really great to see and were frankly something I wish I could have written myself. You are a true BOTL

    Say no more, everything I've seen of that forum, which is admittedly not a great deal, has had the reek of snobbery. Not saying everyone on there fits that bill, but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...

    Very well handled. I expected it to be more of a bloodbath but looks like Dennis difused it quite well. Crap like that makes me so thankful for this forum. Group hug guys! All 11,000 of you!

    Thanks Alex and thanks to the rest of you guys. I just call it like I see it and I can't stand it when people talk out of their butt. Especially when it's about someone we hold in such high esteem. I've never met the man but he's like family because on Ccom, we are all like family. I would've expected any of the botl's on here to say the same.

    Thanks again for the props.

    hell yeah, dennis well done. Love the comment about his passion, and that he's not a businessman, but a farmer and a blender. so true. and that alone is enough to respect him.

    Nice job Dennis. My experience with that forum leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Way to stand up for a great BOTL.

    It was indeed personal since it was AJ but I would have been pissed no matter who it was if it was a good blender with passion. When people trivialize someones life's work by saying they are trying to simply copy someone else is just nuts. It would be like accusing a writer of plagiarism. Just really got under my skin.

    I'm glad to stand up for a "stand-up guy". It seems like there are quite a few "stand-up guys" in the cigar business.
