Free Costa Rica cigars

[ggiese]

Coventry,

Please note my responses to your questions.

Why are you so concerned about "the credit card company" if you're sending the cigars for FREE? ( Please note I said IF I received their orders.)

I'm definitely not giving you any money for your cigars since I have no idea what they taste like. (Most of the cigars I have tried, I have purchased first and was not given one for free. I would expect that most readers of this board have purchased most of the cigars they have tried the first time, whether on a whim or through a review. Thats how we all try new cigars, beers, whisky's, foods, candies, clothes, fruits, restaurants, computers, salad dressings, underwear, etc. Sometimes we get a freebee but most of the time we make a purchase. If you only smoke cigar brands that someone has given you for free first, then your smoking choices must be limited.)

You come to a cigar board for the sole purpose of trying to market your cigars but you're only willing to give samples to three people? (Yes. I make no apologies for giving cigars to three people instead of thousands. I have done the same on other boards as well and it adds up. I make no apologies for using a cigar board to advertise my products. So do many others, cheapercigars, etc. I have asked others for unbiased reviews. I am not not telling you how great they are or claiming they will be declared cigar of the century, as that is for each smoker to decide. I am advertising the fact that I have cigars that others do not.)

That's just plain fucking stupid. (If I was smart, I would be a doctor or a lawyer like my Momma told me to be and not a cigar monger.)

Cousin Heywood and I only like maduros so send cigars to those two address, they'll get delivered don't worry your simple, little brain with what you think are made up names, okay sparky? (I sent cousin Heywood and Bendover some cigars. The tracking numbers are UGOT2BKDING and LOSTINTHEMAIL. When they arrive, I will instuct your cousins with directions for where to shove them -- I mean I will provide proper storage recommendations that will ensure the maduros keep the proper color on their wrappers.)

Bueonos Tardes!

I'm sorry, CC - he's got you by the short hairs with this response...

"Yesterday I put the Cigars in the mail. There is a tracking # RR 028 850 032 CR. This number will only register in the US postal sytem after the package clears Costa Rica, clears US customs and is enter into the post office computers. Expect it in 2 weeks or maybe a little more."

-PM from 11-11

What about the Canadian market?

Believe it or not, there are cigar smokers up here too!

How about sending the first 3 Canadians who respond (ok, 4, just like you did for our US bretheren) a sampler??

Just a thought........

Fred,
You were fourth and I have to draw the line somewhere. I decided to send you the one cigar consolation prize. The tracking number will work when the package enters the US postal system. I must first clear US and CR customs, etc. # RR 028 850 342 CR
You will receive:
1 Fundacion Ancestral Pinar del Rio 1941 Churchill: From Tabacos de la Cordillera. This is a Costa Rica Puro. Ring guage, etc is on the website.

Haven't received anything yet either.

Each Saturday I check to see that all the deliveries have been received.

For reasons that are not clear to me, everything I sent out between 11/8 and 11/10 does not show up in the US postal system. Everything I sent after up until that has been received. All the packages I have sent out between 11/11 and 11/22 have already been received.

I will go down to the Correos de Costa Rica by Wednesday and try to find out why. I will not succeed, and just receive shrugs and smiles from the management.

Have they been stolen? Lost? Stuck in Customs? I do not know. I have sent packages to England that only took a week and a half. Packages I sent out on 11/22 were received in th US on December 2nd. I want to give this two more days to see if they appear.

I apologize for the delay. Every one will hear back from me by Thursday. Either they are found by then or I will send new ones.

What about us Canadian cigar smokers?

I hate to be a pest but you didn't respond in any fashion. Not even to say, "Sorry, not going to happen"

Some response (even a negative one) would be nice..........................

I should mention, while I don't own a cigar store, oddly enough, I know a fellow who does. He has contacts with all the major Canadian distributors and I'm sure could help get you into the Canadian market by pointing you towards the correct people to speak to (ie: Canadian distributors) if you are interested in expanding throughout all of North America. Just a thought.........
