[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 518793, member: 1211"] If you ask me, this creates a multitude of problems. Besides the smoking qualities and talk of altered cuts or recipes, it creates a problem for knowing whether you're getting what you purchased. Changing the cut is likely to be the most readily available marker to buyers and leaving them scratching their heads, "I ordered X, but did I receive X?" Humans DO NOT like to be confused. That dissonance is significant in my buying experience. It's why P&C plays with fire when they never seem to get an order 100% accurate. It's a surefire way to lose customers of a blend and ultimately of your entire service. I don't want to be confused. That's not part of the bargain. How difficult would it be for blenders to snap a photo or two and send it out to their vendors? yes, it is yet another responsibility, but I feel it is a pretty damn key one. I keep running into blends that look nothing like the photos I see. How can that serve ANYONE well? We often talk about the govt screwing up tobacco, but I tell ya. Tobacco people don't seem to do themselves any favors. I might like X. I received Y instead of X, but I didn't know it. I didn't like Y, though I thought it was X. Now I'm not buying it again. Sorry for the diatribe. I really think this is a huge problem with both blenders and vendors. It's not some small detail in the transaction. [/QUOTE]
