Finally - The Start
First off, this is our first real post. It's been a work in progress to build a blog of information about Tex Cigars Inc. Here's the start...
Website Pictures
We have been working extremely hard to increase our inventory of cigars that are most asked for. I think the majority of the cigars that people favor are on our site, but now they lack pictures. We're working every day to increase the number of high quality pictures for the cigars we have as well as add new items to the site. Please be patient with this process because it isn't easy and takes a lot of time.
Pete Johnson & Tatuaje
In other news about us, we were trying to work with Pete Johnson from Tatuaje Cigars. He contacted us about 6 weeks ago and wanted us to setup an account because he got complaints from all the other retailers about our low prices. To make a long story short - Pete never did a single thing he promised or upheld a single part of the verbal agreement we made. So we're dropping our prices again on Tatuaje Cigars to more "competetive levels". More savings for our customers!
Price Fixing Loophole
There's a lot to the cigar industry that the normal buyer doesn't know. There's a lot of low level "price fixing" that the manufacturers don't want to talk about. In essence, if you're selling the product at a price that is too competitive then they cut you off. How can they price fix? Isn't that against the law? Ha. Actually, you never sign a contract so it's tough to prove. It's also somewhat unspoken and the retailers are too scared to talk about it because of the manufacturer simply not sending them anymore product. That's a loophole in price fixing. It's a brilliant approach to achieve the exact same result of price fixing without breaking the law.
