On the contrary, after well over 20 years of being a cigar enthusiast and having conversations with many captains of the industry I know all about the inner workings of the industry (marketing, subcontracting to different actual manufacturers behind the scenes, etc. etc. blah blah). But when your brand name is on the final product sold to consumers, and that product consistently sucks ass, it matters not what the process behind the scenes is, or who's really making what, or any other factors.... your brand name is associated with lousy, bad-quality products. That's all the customer sees, and that's all that matters.
Also it's really quite clear that your knowledge of appropriate text size for a forum post is miniscule..
