CI Charging For SCHIP Already

[Jack Straw]

I know. It's just that people are complaining about tax hikes on some cigars before the tax, when others don't even rise after the tax. It just seems to me that CI is not as "evil" as this thread makes them out to be. Maybe it's just me?

[slyder]

ive been watchin Cbid and some cigars are rising others are not. Wonder why? Ill never understand this bill and have read it 3 times.

That's dishonest. I'll think twice before ordering from them again.

you guys are both totally clueless and have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. the price increases have come from the MANUFACTURERS and is being passed on to the consumers as you would expect. several manufacturers increased prices BEFORE the tax took effect.

how can people be surprised to see price increases now? this stuff has been in the pipelines for months and months. wake up man.

if you want to blame someone blame the Obama administration and congress for SCHIP to begin with.

oh so i see, you get negative ratings if you speak the truth? lol

common then lets have some more negative love, for a truly pointless numbering system. about as useless as all the rest of the numbers and labels people try to put on you in every other aspect of society.

hmm I didnt know thats how the ring gauge thingy worked. Good to know.

Another reason NOT to shop at CI... There are many other better vendors out there.

Wes, one last time. Please read the original post.

CI said they raised it for SCHIP.
They didn't claim a manufacturer increase, they said in their own ad copy it was SCHIP!!! If you have some knowledge that no one else on the board has, please share it. If you read all the posts on this subject you will see the response from CI and even they haven't claimed it was a manufacturer's increase. Their action was to delete the SCHIP reference in the ad copy.

As for the negative points. Maybe it isn't what you say but how you say it... I would suggest you re-read your posts. If I walked in a bar and talked to people I didn't know like you did in here, I would assume the fight would be on. Just a thought.

so what, maybe someone screwed up and attached the wrong ad to the wrong cigar? it's just one crappy bundled cigar that this affected correct?

you come out here making it sound like they are bending ever single customer over on all their cigars, when in reality maybe they just printed the wrong ad for one bundle. just ridiculous. seriously this whole thing is blown WAY out of proportion, and this entire thread is one giant

Dude,
come on.. The fact remains, whether the ad print was a "mistake" or not, they still printed it, and they did in fact raise the price on some cigars, BEFORE SCHIP took effect. IMHO, thats a bad move. Period.

West--- Please light up a cigar and chill out on the language. There is no need to be name-calling. Make your point and then move on. Your posts are hostile and they do not need to be. I have been on these boards since Jesus was a baby I think, and these guys are a great community. If you do not cool it, then you will never learn how generous the members here are. Just a thought.

I have a better thought.. why not just leave? Its apparent he's never going to show any respect to any of us, so my thought is, he'd be better off leaving, and going elsewhere.. But again, thats just my opinion.

yea, it appears to be a cute little system for people "in the circle" to pump each other up with inflated numbers or something, so they feel good about themselves i guess?

i don't really know, but it reminds me of the popularity contests back in the high school days. in any case, it looks like i'm off to a splended start lol
