    • Fernidand Piet bully? Laughable. It’s not possible that I bought out my partners in TABAC? Just because a person is the face or ceo of the brand doesn’t always make them the owner. But whatever I’m not surprised by your lack of common sense.

      Let’s explain to the viewers why you’d think I’m a bully. Back in 2016 you put yourself out as a European Cigar Distributor, you had me send you samples of every cigar I made to date at a huge expense because you told me that you could get me distribution in Europe!! Come to find out that you’re a hack living in Malaysia or somewhere expating your way through Southeast Asia like most of the caucasian deviants. So then you start to review my cigars and posting them to this horrible website and Facebook. The reviews offered no journalistic opinion – your palate sir is tainted. When you reviewed my Trifecta Brazilian Mata Fina / Indonesian Sumatra the review was opposite to very other review anyone ever had done on that cigar. You called it weak and flavorless. What?!! Couldn’t believe it! It was so unfavorable I asked you to remove it and took threatening you to get you to remove it!! Ya so I’m a bully!! I’ve been in this business a long time- I’ve learned a lot since crossing paths with you. HACK!
