I am just glad this was an experiment. I thought he was flipping out all over the www because he didn't get his cigars in less than 2 weeks. It looks like the experiment was a smashing success to unite minions everywhere. We are minions and we are many!

Now let's enjoy a cigar.

I did this as more of an experiment to see what kind of response I would get from the company and from people on the internet. I'm not very surprised but I am a little bit enlightened. it's always interesting to see how people will react when negativity is thrown their way. Most people on the internet especially cigar boards want to be nice and be friends with everybody. I don't care about any of that and never have.

I do think however it's sad that many consumers - - not all - - immediately take the side of the retailer rather than fellow consumers. A surprising number actually. That to me is very interesting because you will never be a huge multinational corporation but some day you may get screwed over by one. Choose your allies and your enemies wisely.

That's all I have to say about this, other than the fact that puff.com deleted my post immediately and botl.org locked it after a day or two.

I guess we know whose asses they're kissing don't we?

I'm actually a little offended by this post. Makes me feel more like a sheep than a minion.

I'm not buying the "experiment". I have read all the pots you created on those boards. All have the same theme. All sounded like bashing.

I hope your not calling this experiment a success, because your results are skewed. You, as a sole anonymous Internet poster, go on-line to complain about a retailer on several different message boards where hundred's (if not significantly more) have had nothing but good dealings and service, and you expected we would all side with the consumer (who is the small minority) rather than the retailer, with whom many, many more have had good service and experiences. What did you really expect, and what was the end result from your findings? Never mind, I think I figured it out.

For the record, I do not use cigarbid. Not because I think they're a bad company, but simply because I do not like the auction format for buying cigars. I have, however, dealt with a certain Florida-based Internet shop who gets regularly bashed on forums. And I had abosulutely no problems with them. I have switched etailers, but not because of issues with the first. Both offer 10% off because of my job, but the one I use now allows me to stack discounts, where the first only permitted one discount code per order. That's the only reason I switched.

Yeah, I don't buy it. Sounds like you got caught out being a frigging prick, and now you're backpedaling. Pound sand...

I think he is hoping we are all inbred children of parents that were brother and sister.

Holey Moley! I am never surprised at the unmitigated gall of some who will act like a complete moron and concoct a storyline where they become the hero. Wow! So this was all an experiment just to forewarn ALL consumers as to how one business does its' business? First of all, why did you use different ID's in every Forum you chose to go to? It's like you wanted to keep yourself hidden because most cigar hobbyists who love this hobby use their same ID on just about every Forum they belong to?

Are we being to rough on you? Not at all because in 2 Forums I know who you are Bizumpy and you tend to stir the pot with your dramas and posts. Instead of creating a dialogue of fixing an issue you take a sideways approach and call it an "experiment" of sorts and all for the benefit of what exactly? The reasoning behind your statements just don't track because you neglected to say from your first post that you were conducting an 'experiment' so you changed the veracity of your story to somehow have it make sense and then soften your approach because you're feeling heat about it. Those on here that have posted as to your story and behavior about not believing your story are to be commended because one of the worst things on any Forum is to have those Members who love to bring dramas and you got caught with your panties down around your ankles. I'd have more respect for you if you just came clean with your real story but with all of your ID's I'm not sure which person to believe. JMHO
