Hey guys,
I just wanted to jump in and be the first to post on the new manufacturers forum. Thank you Rod for giving me the heads up.
What's new,
Well I am traveling alot and I have been running into a few of you here and there. So far so good and no one has punched me in the face.
Creating new things (Guapos Series for Cabaiguan and La Riqueza)that will hopefully please your palates. Releasing soon.
I stopped wearing the scarf for now but wanted to thank PutzMuligan for the gift.
I was recently called a liar by an online retailer, So,I got that going for me.
Anyway, If you have any questions put them out there and I will try and answer in a timely manner.....
Regards,
Pete
Pete, you are a liar. There is no question about that, you have lied straight to peoples faces including myself and those you call friends. You have sent repeated e-mails to people saying it was me who lied about your friend Dan Mr.Punch, (Newhavanacigars.com) and got him banned from Cigarpass. You have asked several members here to delete and alter posts so you didn't look bad, there are numerous other incidents which I have all of them in writing. You will not back up your product for me, you will not return my numerous phone calls or e-mails leaving me stuck with the bag. I will include this E-mail
from you Pete, forwarded to me from
your phone.
Dan (newhavanacigars.com) I am very sorry you are going to have to see what kind of people you are doing business with. This is the E-mail that got newhavanacigars.com banned from Cigarpass. This is from Pete to me, turning his friend in for narcing on fellow vendors here at CP. Below is also evidence of Pete's intentional price fixing and some other points of interest in a message to a trusted member here at CP. I will include the main points, if you want Pete's whole message I will e-mail it to you. This is direct unaltered original form copied and pasted from Pete's original message.

Message from Pete
It has been unfortunate that I have been having to censor many of the
online vendors that promised me and gave me their word that they would
not publish any pricing below a certain discount level. Many happen to
be on your board and I have been watching them for a long time. Although I have never been a member of your site until recently, I and many friends view yours and other forums daily to see how our product is being represented.
Next Quote from Pete
Dan was not the person who contacted me. You stated that this was happening with several manufacturers and I know Dan only deals with a few and I know they have the same policies as I do on published discounting. They also monitor the cigar forums. I have been watching
all the forums to protect the business. An existing long time member
of your board that is very proud of my brand and wants to see it have
longevity also contacted me. I am glad that you locked down the retail area so only your members can view the specials but I will always monitor the specials in my own way.

To finish this long-winded letter, I would like to ask you or the site
owners to remove all threads concerning this situation.
i.e.: The Screw You Thread and The introductory from New Havana Cigars
and the Banned Vendor Thread.
I could go on, but I don't think any more needs to be said. The proof speaks for itself!
