Do any of you guys find marketing to be offensive?

Looking through catalogues and come across a add for John Bull cigars... It states John Bull the working mans avo. I mean wtf!! I work I'm blue collar and no I will never buy a John Bull!! In fact I'm not a huge fan of most Avo's. But to make it look like a guy like me just wants to smoke crap is well insulting!!

A bnm owner once told me that SWAG was the po-man's Opus X because it was a Dom puro.
I wanted to piss on his face.
The local B&M owner knows when he gets a new cigar in, the best tbing with me is to show it to me and say nothing. I'm more likely to buy if he says nothing about it other than what it is and what it states its made of.
Most cigar descriptions you have to take a grain of salt.
My favorite cigar catalog is from Another Company That Shant Be Named Here But Whose First Word Is A Synonym for "Well Known." Some of their copy is totally off the wall stuff--looks like the copywriters are actually having fun, rather than having to find yet another way to say something new about this week's AJ or Dre release.
