When I wrote the article, I had intended it to be used to inform and
bring readers to my blog. I am a web developer and I spent 3-4 months
fighting with credit card merchants about selling cigars online, for a
site I was developing. None of them wish to sell tobacco products,
even paypal, so ALOT of online cigar shops are using offshore
accounts. I know this for a fact and the bigger shops already running
are grandfathered in. I felt this information was important to anyone
shopping online, as I wouldn't want an offshore merchant charging my
card.
Also, I did drop the link here to promote my blog. I am not a retail
site, just a blog and I have some ads to help cover my expenses, but
not getting rich by any means!
If anyone was bothered by this, I apologize, but then again I didn't
just spam your thread and leave. I have at least dropped back in to
reply from time to time. So, check out my blog sometime. I am a cigar
smoker just like you guys and love to discuss a good cigar.

Thanks for your thoughts ... hope you stay around and contribute.

FYI, one of my holdings is a application software consulting company; we
build front ends and commercial website's for small to med size org's.
We haven't encountered the resistance you speak of.
