Puros Y Vino Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Price is also a distinguishing feature, like it or not. True. I find that "price" often goes hand in hand with "service". And not only in the cigar world.
Lotusguy Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I have to admit that I have used that source a few times in the past. I don't think that I will in the future since this is not cool at all!
PigFish Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Hell, I always thought Friends of Habanos was kinda' cheesy! Making Friend of Habanos even cheesier!!!! -LOL Now Fiends of Habanos... that's the witches *** now boy! As a side note... my old man had over 100 patents. He invented things you use everyday. He was so far ahead of his time, if I told you a few things he invented you would doubt I was telling the truth!!! He used to say, "Most people will not have an original thought their entire life!" This is a truism mates. Grow up with a genius, mad inventor type like my dad and you will understand genius. The rest of us are just bystanders!!! There is such an exponential gap between really ******* smart and genius... it would boggle your mind. Dropping a letter of another domain name; that defines anything but genius! -Piggy

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of it. I'm tempted to register it.
aes8 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Cheers Amos for pointing it out. What is an "S" amongst Friends www.friendofhabanos.com This is clearly a Rule 5 violation. Please refrain from posting sources sir
El Presidente Posted July 25, 2011 Author Posted July 25, 2011 "Fiends" is a masterstroke!!!! Someone get it! I am not overly perturbed really. I see it more as a compliment. FOH is not about any single entity...quality/price/range/service. It is a feel/culture generated by all members and developed over time. "Typo sitting" certainly is clever. It also reflects a complete lack of class. Again, I was surprised but it did bring a smile to my face

I'm off to Victoria next month so can go and complain in person if we haven't heard anything?
Fuzz Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Threadjack, but did anyone ever get a response from the Canadian vendor who was using Czar's images? I'm off to Victoria next month so can go and complain in person if we haven't heard anything? I sent off an email on 26th May and got the response: Dear XXXXX: Thank you for your inquiry. We are in the process of changing all the pictures for all of our products. The person previously in charge of our website had uploaded pictures not taken from our end. We are very sorry for the situation and we will attend your claim immediately. If you have any other question or comment please do not hesitate to contact us. Customer Service Tropicana Cigars I sent off a reply on 11th July advising the images are still up, but they never replied back. Somehow I don't think I ever will...
jedipastor Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 I have to agree that when I just saw this, my first thought was "that's diabolically clever!" Douchebag move, but clever. I don't think it's a huge problem, though. Patrons who want something from Czar have their reasons, and "Lou" isn't going to change those reasons. The prices will tempt some, though, I have no doubt. But those individuals are most likely already checking competetors regularly, so again I don't this this will really matter.
Fuzz Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Just an update re: Tropicana Cigars. It looks like they have removed the Czar images from their website. So score one for the good guys!
Nocoins Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 The Uniform Domain Name Resolution Policy can be invoked in cases like this. What has been done by Lou's appears to meet the criteria for abusive cybersquatting. The internet is no longer without rules, thankfully.

Tan1801 Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 This gave me a little chuckle. At least its cleaver. The Tropicana one was just plain tasteless.
