I had a guy tell me he can get me the sweets at little cost because he knows a rep for them. Now if it's a box of the acquired brand I may have to do that.
You should hurry up and acquire the cigar habit. It's one of the major happiness's. And so much more lasting than love, so much less costly in emotional wear and tear.
Aldous Huxley

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace.

Almost saw this coming when DE started being involved in the distribution, and later production, of Swisher's re-entry into the premium space.

get paid! why not? they ground it out so it's time to enjoy the next thing in style!
seems like a good fit. you see their cigars in gas stations next to the blunt rollers. the few decent ones they sell have become way overpriced and a bitch to get anyway.

I've heard it was $140 million

Thats pretty much the mark I heard. I think someone told me it was arounded $135 million

I had heard the other week that the higher ups from Swisher were down there talking to companies, but didn't think it would result in this. Although if it was around the $140 million mark it would be very hard to turn down the offer.

Thats just sad. :-(
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

What a bummer.

Hopefully nothing changes.

I think it had more to do with the federal regulation issues that may be coming than anything else. While we all love the LP's and Herrera Estelli's, the fact of the matter is that the top grossing products for Drew Estate are the Acids and they are certain to be directly in the cross hairs of the feds. Kind of makes sense for them to get under the umbrella of a larger company that will dealing heavily with those same issues.

I'm sure we all hope and pray that they won't be dumb enough to tinker with the LP's and Herrera Estelli's but I guess that only time will tell.

Kind of sad to see.  I'm sure in the near term you won't see much change, but over time they will be assimilated and "cost efficiencies" will kick in that will stifle the creativity and freedom that drove its success.  I hope i'm wrong. :-(
