I know where most of us stand on the whole Fleur Di Lis lawsuit against Tatuaje etc... But this just pisses me off more and actually makes me laugh. I won't buy Altadis products after the whole lawsuit fiasco as I hate big companies going after the little guys, but what they are doing now is just a big slap in our face and makes me hate them that much more...

Joe's Jam is going on today and I noticed that they were selling some Montecristos and layered over the picture of the cigars, they have a big Fleur Di Lis symbol. They're just showing who the boss is and who has the money, to rub it in... I don't think they ever did that before the lawsuit settled.

You can see a small picture of it here, at 4:18pm:

I agree... Trademarking a symbol like the Fleur di Lis is like the NFL trying to sue Saints fans for the phrase "Who Dat?"

I'm with you Aloha, I never was a fan of Altadis products and I would never buy them now!

They eat cack and bolls! I was disappointed to learn that among the brands they own are; Romeo y Julieta, H. Upmann, Saint Luis Rey and Por Larranaga.

I will not buy any Altadis products either. Now if someone gifts one to me, I have no control over that and will burn it quickly.

Now that's what I'm talking about, a "Realist". Mcroom if you're ever headed down to Atlanta and you have some free time, let me know so we can grab a smoke together... :thumbsup:
