you seem awfully upset over this steve... unfortunately, when free speech and and capitalism meet, this is the end result...
just look at the mess that Jimmy Dean's husband Paula has gotten herself into... she used the n-word, a bunch of people formed an opinion about her and openly voiced that opinion, and now nobody gets the recipe for her hot dogs cooked in butter...
the same thing has happened here (not really the same thing at all but I couldn't resist using a Paula Dean analogy)... A bunch of people bought the titan's you guys sell, thinking they were getting the original gurkha titans... instead they got inferior tobacco rolled by sub-standard factories... the end result was that people formed opinions and then voiced those opinions and now nobody will pay more than a buck or two for your titans...
it's not that all gurkha's are necessarily bad... gurkha has just earned a bad name...
to stay with the car analogy, if Rolls Royce started letting hyundai manufacture their cars but still called it a Rolls Royce, word would get around about Rolls Royce and eventually few if any consumers would spend more than $15K for them... are hyundai's bad? No, their just not the Roll's Royce of cars... and Gurkha's not even the hyundai of cigars...
