See geldor1's post above.I don't want to speak for hollywood, but perhaps the issue is that the pictures were posted to a private area on CS... whereas they've been posted to a public area on this forum.
Could just be a "level of exposure" kind of issue.
To the other members of CP: I gladly will share my images with you. I will try to return and post the story behind them and then a review of the 1st one smoked when that happens. Please forgive my unhappiness expressed above. I hope you understand the frustration at the things some will do to make themselves look good.
Thanks! And thank you to all in this thread who stated the obvious. Hubris can alter reality into whatever one wishes and has often done worse.To the other members of CP: I gladly will share my images with you.

Don't bother; I wouldn't want to put you out either!
Thanks for the attempt at sharing good info. Vortex :thumbs: You know how monkeys are!
This whole thing is just odd...I wouldn't worry to much Vortex. You didn't do anything wrong.

Hmmm, really not sure what the issue is here. Vortex stated clearly that this was posted on another cigar site, paid compliment to the original poster for doing so and simply posted a link to a public site where the clip was hosted. No harm no foul, except for calling him out for doing no wrong.
However that being said, it was a very cool video, not sure I'd have had the stones to open that can. But it was neat to see 64 year old cigars brought to life for the first time. :thumbs:
It was really nice of this brother from another site to open this AND share the images. Can't wait for the review!

well it's good to see that lot's of folks like to read into things exactly what they want to read. i was only put out by the fact that this is not some typical run of the mill youtube video or picture of Jessica Alba; this is a special event for myself and fellow cigar enthusiasts. i would have expected some general contact from someone wanting to use my images.
you can all jump an the wagon and claim that i am in the wrong for saying what i did; but i assure you; many here would have felt the same way if the tables were turned. imagine how excited, on the other hand, i would have been if someone came to me and said;"hey, i want to share your story with the members of another board"!! would have been the courteous thing to do. guess THAT is how monkeys are!?
vortex - hope you understand why i was upset. i will appologize for the nature of my post. i actually should have just let it go. should have know better. however; the next time you use information such as this; please consider the other person's point of view or personal wishes first. perhaps even that is asking a bit too much!?
BTW - they smoke great!

Think it was an incredible Ebay find. Check out this auction.
Hollywood has apologized to Vortex, including an admission that he should have known better. It would seem that this should be enough for the BOTLs of this site to accept. While I am new here, I'm not new to mistakes. Hollywood made one and has made the appropriate amends.
I also wish to know more about these cigars.
EDIT: Hollywood, assuming that this was an ebay find, did you have any communication with the former owner of this tin? If so, were they able to give you any history regarding the cigars?
This is quite a find. To the extent that you have any information, I hope you share it here as well.

Well, I was taking issue with his continued whining in post #29 and his continued insistence that people should get permission from him if they post a link to his publicly posted photos/videos.
You may "accept" that bobby but I don't and I don't think you should either.
