I don't get it.

A whole site about a cigar company, and they forgot to put the cigars on it.

I did find a way to look at cigars but finding them was not easy. Plus the prices are kind of high as well considering I haven't heard of these guys before and these are bindle cigars as they claim. Anyway here is the link you guys decide

lots of money for an unknown bundled cigar......as a suggestion...why not send two or three samples to,maybe,ten or twelve guys....get their feedback.....we'll post our reviews and maybe create some positive buzz about the brand.....

....if you're interested,don....pm me and i'll tell you who you should use for your sampling...

Don I would follow this advice. Perhaps you have the best cigar Puerto Rico has to offer, but what if it's a dog rocket. You say you have no distribution in US and therefore no one knows you. If you are reputable company it does not cost you a thing or next to nothing to send some samples out. WHo knows perhaps some of the peole are actuall cigar reps or distributors here in US

If you were Padron or any of the other famous cigar makers you would not have a need to post ads on this site, but since you did perhas you will find it wise to send some samples and actually put some product in people's hands to see if stands up to what you claim.

One more thing to consider. There are hundreeds if not thousands of cigars priced in the same range as you charge and people know that they like them BECAUSE THEY HAVE SAMPLED THEM. Why would they give you their money without even having a chance to hold a single stick in their hands

.....and to add to what cgardan has said....this is not a mooch...believe me.....the guys that i'll give you names for sampling are cigar smokers and buyers...who have visiblity on numerouss cigar bulletin boards....i'll ask that they post reviews on all the boards that they frequent......

btw,i'm rep for other cigar brands...

Sounds to me like you're trying to make a quick buck.

If you're serious about making a quality cigar, get some names and addresses from bigpoppapuff. He will make sure your cigars get into good hands. If they get good reviews, you'll probably get some sales out of it.

If you're not willing to send out a few samples, I'm going to assume you're pushing crap.

Would hate to say it ... especially if you do have quality cigars.... but most people would agree with the statement above.

Here is another idea for you .. by the way so far we are only trying to help

There will be a HERF in NY on July 22nd that will have a lot of people from different cigar boards as well as some industry names General Cigar for one ( in US marketing is very important !!!! ) you should coinsider joining the HERF as a sponsor or sending a few bundles to the event in case you cant be there in person.

This is what in US is called FREE ADVERTISING you could meet or get your cigars in the hands of many people who can if they like your product be VERY VERY important in your company's US distribution.

A FACT: WE ARE NOT MOOCHING --- A FACT: THIS IS THE WAY BUSINESS IS DONE IN US... A FACT SO FAR YOU ARE GETTING ADVICE .... AN IMPORTANT FACT: ANYONE CAN PUT FACTS ABOUT HISTORY ON THE WEBSITE MOST PEOPLE ONLY BELIEVE WHAT THEY CAN SEE FOR THEMSELVES

Read previous posts as you can order Sample Packs from us. I'm not in the market to make a quick buck. I am in the market to provide a Quality product for my clients and i do just that. If you want to smoke counterfeit cigars.. be my guest. It's a liability when you do. If you want an asset, you will purchase a sample and get the best smoke of your life, Hands Down!

Thanks for your post!

Thanks for the Post and feedback! First of all, We pride ourselves on our product and quality of tobacco. Secondly, you can order sample packs off our wesite. I would suggest SamplePack 9. This will give you a variety of flavors that we offer. I dont send out free samples nor do I look at this as a mooch. If you are a Real cigar aficionado, you will appreciate a specialty item versus buying a cigar only buy name brand. We realize that our brand is not known, but at the same time people do not know about Puerto Rican Tobacco and the history behind the oldest corporation in the western hemisphere along with the Taino Indian culture. Thanks again for the feedback!
