I want to tell about our new blend which has everyone here in Florida raving. Our tobacco which is grown in our factory in Santiago, DR is 100% cuban seed tobacco. What makes our tobacco special is the triple fermantation process, in bigger manufacturers they only do 1 or 2. We were at the trade show in August 2009 releasing our label and received a nice response from the lounges. Now its your turn to give us your feedback. Please visit our site(pridecigars.com) to see how we got started and to see the blends in which we carry. If you are out of the state of FL, I am more than happy to direct your lounge in the direction of that sales rep to get Pride Cigars in your shop. You may contact me at our website for questions. Thank you for your time in reading and look forward to being in your lounge one day.

Sincerely,
Steve Tabak
Pride Cigars
Hey Steve,

We've got a tough crowd here. I think you'll find people on this site will not take a salesman on face value as having the product to die for.

I'm sure your cigars are very nice - and likely will interest some of the membership - but, to be honest, we've had so many snake oil salesman come through here with the "latest and greatest" cigar that selling them is not just as easy as posting a thread. There are other websites whose membership will blindly buy what the admins tell them to - though You will likely have to fill their humidors with cigars to get them motivated to have the membership buy... We're just not one of those sites.

I'm not going to offer marketing guidance (as that is not my forte), but in my view - if you're TRULY interested in promoting your product you may wish to consider offering a couple of our members the opportunity to sample your product and post a candid review.
