    Ok, you just lost your sale right there. We all know that only swishers and white owls are good for that long without a humidor. So then you must be selling garbage.

    That's like buying fine cheese that doesn't require a refrigerator (cheez wiz).

    Do you not know what a cigar smokes like that doesn't have proper humidifiacation?

    So Fuck off..we don't want you white owl imitations

    I was wondering if anyone else caught that remark about not needing a humidor.



    Don Collins and brother Mario, here is how you spread the word about a product.

    How, exactly, do these "sell themselves"?

    Let's review:
    No one I know has tried one
    They aren't listed in Perelmans
    They are not available as singles
    I have never read a review
    They are only available through you
    I have no idea who you are

    No amount of cheerleading will get me to buy something that doesn't meet at least one of those criteria. And I'm pretty sure that goes for most of the members here, as well.

    Too bad, cuz I'd like to find a good Puerto Rican smoke...

    The saying "cigars sell themselves" means that when you taste the cigars you realize just how damn good they are and then people start buying them from that first impression they recieve from the smoke. The problem here is that there is no way to allow everyone (*i mean everyone*) to try a cigar for themselves, which means this company relys mainly on word of mouth and actual people walking into the store.
    Lets Review:
    True that noone you know may not have heard of this company, but keep in mind the whole point of appearing on this site to to gain some kind of recognition.

    Being a fairly new company they are still trying to get their name out.

    They are actually available in singles, you need only calll up their offices and ask for them, the slight draw back would be the shipping costs which may at times be more than the cigar itself.

    Why read a review when you can watch them on TV, strangely enough if you had been watching Telemundo, (the local TV station) they had a whole section to themselves this past saturday and sunday. They have also been featured in the newspaper numerous times.

    true, they are still a small buisiness so you cant expect them to be stationed all over the US. That costs alot of money, and in order to get money you need more people to buy the cigars. But just because they are only available through "you" doesn't stop you from buying them.

    Again. they are new, you are already judging them for trying to get their name out and make some money, try their product before you actually spit in their face. If you dont like it then by al means rant away.

    Wow, after all of this I wouldn't buy from them. Im pretty sure that this is not the advertisement Don Collins wanted.

    Oh. And yes my great grandfather Pedro Flor Rivera use to work in the field in Toa Alta back in the 1800's.

    Precisely the point that people here have been trying to make.

    Don Collins et al wandered in here and stepped on his dick because he did not "sample" the board before making his sales pitch.

    The boys here are wise enough to want to "sample" these glorious cigars before commiting to a purchase. They do not want to make a mistake like Mr. Collins and crew has.

    So here is something to kow tow towards: go "sample" 1,000 posts on this and other boards, then the three of you sit down, and come up with a new game plan.

    .
    In spite of all evidence to the contrary, the entire universe is composed of only two basic substances: Magic and bullshit.
