I am a little late to the party here, and 1/2 ashamed that I am continuing this string. The only thing I can say is, seriously? Lighten up, I thought this article was harmless, not to mention in good/fun humor – regardless if someone knows the backstory or not. This isn’t Wolf Blitzer reporting on scene…

The “Even Dion agreed on Twitter” comment pushed me spend 30 seconds to reply here.

I was a little harsh with the bad blogging comment. Dion has commented several times that they just ran out of foil and he wanted the cigars to go to market sooner than waiting for the foil to come in. Making it sound like they may be a special edition or valuable to collectors I feel is overstating the results of shipping them without the foil. Even Dion agreed on twitter. A better approach to the article would have been to get a comment from Dion about the batch. I buy a lot of Illusione cigars and would see it more of a novelty than a collectible.

Good thing we are syndicated and not just a blog…I would hate to be a bad blogger.

Not to mention: who doesn’t like the word “naked?”

I figured he does, but making people think the cigars without the foil wrapping are in some way different is just bad blogging.

Dion has said multiple times on Twitter that the factory ran out of foil and instead of delaying shipment waiting for the foil he told them to ship them without the foil. There is no difference in the cigars.
