Opus X

But we all can agree that the more hands this box of opus went through, the more expensive it became.

I agree with that, and also, when I worked at the Tinderbox, all of our Fuente products came from Newman, not Fuente... So would'nt Newman be the distributor? At least it was to us...

Another technicality....I bunch them together...but YES....Newman. BUT...it is Fuente & Newman : Fuente & Newman Premium Cigars Limited Inc., the exclusive U.S. distributor of the ...:

Friggin Type A's! Did I miss anything else?

--------------------------------------------

National wholesalers are around the country for Fuente stuff...at an up-charge...but NOT HTF's. Those go to retailers.
 
Don't you miss the good days when you could just call a company and order a product? :sign:
 
...unfortunately, it's not like that these days. Nowadays, there is a distributor or a wholesale for everything...and atleast for us...we cannot get all of our cigars from just one single wholesaler. You have to compare prices, free shipping offers, etc.

One supplier may have a box of 8-5-8's for like $87.50 and another may have that same box for, say, $89.00. But when you look into it further, the supplier who sells for $89.00 has free shipping going on...which ends up being the better deal for some retailers.

And yes, in fact, Fuente and Newman are the same now: http://www.cigarfamily.com/ and when ordering, as the other member said, you're ordering from Newman. When you google the 1-800 number on the contact us page, this is what you get:

And what did they say about the distributor who sold you the cigars?
 
Im at the University right now, so I haven't had the chance to call them personally...but I do believe my father is giving them a call.

I will update when the call is made, however.
 
Looks like Jimmy has had some other pricing issues with some other products.

LINKY

HookahETC = Jimmy.

Your disrespect stems far deeper then this thread and I am not going to sit back much longer and allow you to cause any more of your drama here ... you have been removed from another forum and I can see why! You have been given so many warnings here .. far more then people realize or will ever see, we have been trying hard to work with you towards a harmonious understanding.

That is all I am going to say, KEEP it up Jimmy!

And to the members, feel free to PM any of the MODs to see if any private deals that may be made in PMs and/or e-mail outside of these forums are along the lines of a reasonable asking price (for ANY vendor, sale, or deal). We are here to help ..

Cheers!

Looks like Jimmy has a habit of coming into people's house (or online communities) and shitting on them.

FWIW
 
CigarAl,

You have issues my friend...going to the extent of looking things like this up. As a matter of fact, if you even knew what the hell that post was about, you would know that I was in the right and the Mods there were wrong. I have several sources on that forum if you would like.

Edited for more depth:
Since CigarAl seems to have some cross hairs on me, let me clear this shit up...
That forum, I was one of the first members to be a part of, and in fact, I helped build that forum. I was one of the main vendors for that forum, and supported that forum. The specific topic CigarAl linked was about Khalil Mamoon Hookahs. At the time, I was talking to some exporters in Cairo about getting here to the States...I DID NOT HAVE PRICING. So when I made the thread on HP, I stated that pricing WILL NOT be released until I know for sure what the hell it's going to cost me. The admin there, SamBooka, took this as me "hiding" the prices from him specifically since he seems to have believed that I had a personal vendetta against him. If you read that post, at the very top I tell everyone that I do not have pricing yet...and further down, SamB asks why Im not telling anyone prices, and I respond, jokingly, "to keep them away from you, lol" and he replied with an "lol" as well. It was a joking matter...days later he asked again for prices and I still didnt have any pricing information to give him...and he took this as me keeping the prices away from him for some odd reason. Again, I wasn't ripping anyone off...I was actually trying to save the members there money since KM Hookahs have gone up and up because of their "fame".

So..CiagrAl...get your SHIT straight before you post about me or my other business. Why do you attempt to highlight only what SEEMS negative about me? Is this what BOTL's do to other BOTL's? Jeeze...
 
No issues. Just trying to show the type of business you are running.

The following quote as I posted above was from one of the Mods at that site:

So the Mods at that site are wrong. I am guessing the Mods at the other site for which you were apparenbtly banned from were wrong also.

My point is that you appear to have a habit of coming to on line communties to sell your wares in a very questioble and suspicious manner.

Yes, I do believe so Sir. And one of my friends (who is a Mod at that forum) believes so as well. But he could not overturn the rest of them. Im actually one of the most respectable online vendors for Hookahs. It's so funny how the only thing you highlight is misunderstanding on the mods part. If you want the several hundred POSITIVE reviews for me...or even customers/forum members numbers to call and ask yourself, I'll be glad to ask them to give you that info.

I understand that you're trying to protect the members here (naturally) but please take the time to know what you're talking about when you post something...it makes all the difference in the world.

You absolutely correct which is why I posted the Link to the entire thread, so everyone could read what the issue was.

And yes, I highlighted the response from the Moderator as they tend to carry a lot of clout on the boards they are moderating. I didnt notice your friend doing anything to support you or correct the other moderators on that thread.

You should heed your own advice about knowing what you are talking about when you make a post.

I believe this thread is at five pages becasue you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to cigars.

Maybe you should stick to selling Hookahs.

Make assumptions all you want...I'll just have to work that much harder to prove you wrong (if even possible). :cool:
 
LoL, I know where the first pic came from. I buy alot of wholesale from that guy's company. He throws Hookah parties all the time, and the effect is what you see in the pic, lol.

This Halloween's party is supposed to be his best...more boob pics to some? :whistling:
 
Wow, how did I miss this whole thread until now!

I'm with Tom though. The tone of the whole thing got me going that direction, and this cemented it:
