WARNING: Provocative material! Ethics! Proceed with caution!

Does anyone else here chuckle at the errors, marketing disinformation, hyperbole, outdated information and general tomfoolery in the DESCRIPTION section of each bidding lot? As an experienced cigar smoker I know what's what, but does the newbie deserve to be told, for example, that Ernesto Perez-Carrillo is still making La Gloria Cubana cigars? Or that an unattributed Cigar Aficionado rating of one particular cigar from 2003 is being applied to a whole brand in 2022? How much of this is oversight, and how much is intentional? Does anybody care? Why am I asking you?

No one cares. Always plenty of noobs coming into the hobby to keep the lights on.
That’s who all the hyperbole is directed at..............most of the time.

Stupid marketing. Always highlighting the positives, both real and imagined, of a product while ignoring the negatives.

It's downright dishonest I tell ya!
