Dan at NHC is a great guy. I have smoked with him a few times when we go up to Columbus.
There are some who would disagree.
Interesting. I am not trying to change anyone's opinion of him. I happen to have met the guy and he was a super cool and down to earth guy.
Everyone can buy from whoever they want to.
You're right. I just prefer to deal with upfront, honest vendors, not those who are willing to dime out the competition and their own customers.
Tom, Elderboy02 (Dan) and I had a fairly in depth conversation about this on Tuesday night. I think Dan gained a realization of why you are insistent in your opinion of NHC. In my conversation with Elderboy02 (Dan) [ffs, how many 'Dans' are there around here], it appeared to me that he had good reason to have some respect for NHC. I mean a private dinner with Pete Johnson that is a result of a call from Dan at NHC [ffs, how many 'Dans' are there around here] who called because he knows you are a fan would sway some opinions of NHC's business practices. While I tend to follow the general CP opinion of NHC, I would consider an NHC event that included a rare-ish opportunity to enjoy the company of cigar related celebrities.
In other words, I think there is an understanding on all sides at this point.
