For those of you who are part of the CATS Facebook group, I'm wondering about the proliferation of posts featuring the lower end DE cigars. Seems for every shot of a box of Pigs, there are ten of someone smoking a Root, or one of the infused lines. What's with that? Mikey? Kombat? Taps?



Whoops, sorry, my bad... Mikey? Kombat? Any thoughts?

What about me???


Yeah I think it's all about the DE fan boys. They'll buy it all when starting out. Doubt many smoke those after year 5.

I'm on there too. It is all thing pro DE that's for sure. I do see a bunch of people posting dog rockets too and getting lots of responses saying they have enjoyed said cigar. Overall it is like Jamie said. I've followed it less and less lately due to that.

The cigar group on reddit has a lot lower average age than other cigar communities, which means newer smokers, and thus they have a huge DE obsession. Acid smokers aren't even laughed at 😞

I've never understood the idea of putting down a person because of what he smokes. Look at Jamie.....he enjoys smoking a big girthy pole but I figure it's his business. Besides...from what Wheel, TW, and Drafter tell me...he's good at it.

I think its funny that all of the Tat whores on this forum are so quick to judge someone else's commitment and dedication to a line. If that's what they enjoy smoking there is nothing wrong with that just because you aren't fond of it. Everyone's tastes are different as evident in that cigar lines have mild to full smokes or that one brand of cigars that everyone likes isn't the only stick ever sold. Cigar smoking is the exploration through different brands, flavors, regions, strengths to find what you truely enjoy. If someone is at a different part of their journey or has landed somewhere else then you then simply let it be or help them along. After all, every BOTL/SOTL has common interests in a love for cigars and that should be most important.



Tats suck. noobs smoke tats. Tat-kool-aide. Obama hearts tats. Tats are dog rockets.

I agree with at least the spirit of this post, but you'd have to be in the CATS group to fully understand the criticism. There are people who take photos of themselves wearing nothing but DE gear and fawning over the latest unicorn to be released. If that's what they like to do, that's fine, but a lot of them go *way* overboard with it in my judgement.

ttherm,

Though the spirit if your post holds merit, the fact thay you are unaware of the pricing effect that the DE fan boys are having overall on the cigar market betrays you. We are in a boom right now and wuality has gone down as prices have gone up. Zelous fanboys do no favors to current BOTLs, though over time they'll learn or quit. But right NOW the blind loyalty is hurting the market for consumers.

Tatuaje started the LE craze, but to his credit I think PJ has maintained a higer level of QC than DE.

True that I am not part of that group so I don't fully know the extent of whats being talked about. From what I have seen of the DE faithfuls is pretty similar to some of the Tat fans on here.
