I'd say they are pretty sharp in the pricing model and got a good handle on the investment side too!
I wonder why havent they done a Walmart-themed Cigarette yet? ...I mean, they did it with Mercedes AMG.

I'm guessing they'll keep the cats branded as DW and not put the Cig sticker on them?

That really is a great point Rob. Erika and Chad both had large rolls in Cigarette when Skip took over. Both were in their early 20's as well. Erika went on to other ventures starting up a successful staffing company in Denver after a few years but Chad was with the company up until just after his dad sold. Family affair is a common theme with Cigarette it appears.

Most might not like or get that but it was a very good move IMO.
I dont disagree with that at all. just because it wasnt my cup of tea, doesnt mean it wasnt successful and hit the mkt they wanted to. they dumped tons of money into key west as well.

I figured when someone mentioned cheap you would chime in and as usual you 100% missed the mark. walmart shoppers are cheap like him, hence my wording to him (and you as well). I don't shop there, too much chinese stuff and i would rather pay more to support American businesses with quality products

ahhh took down the personal attack did ya? I'm not a moron, I'm an A-hole.. dont ever forget it. So your deleted post called me a F***** moron. why? because i can acknowledge that even though i dont agree with a venue and the music/vibe, it can still be successful? or is it because the other cheap person has had a vendetta against the brand for well over a decade... look justin, my pm's lit up about how cheap you are with your walmart mentality, and just so you know i will never not call you anything other than a cheapskate.. after all you were the one who was banned for starting multiple threads about a subject.. so kindly walk your ass back over to the corner and stfu, the adults are talking now.

I was at the Miami Boat Show today and there was a DW with a big ol' Cig sticker on the side (not paint, just a sticker). They also had videos of the up and coming Cigarette waverunners.
