Don Collins Cigars San Juan, Puerto Rico

[TheChronic]

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.

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...

Ok when I see a newbie having his 1st post defending some no - name company I feel some thing is weird when I see a second newbie doing exactly the same thing I say there is a connection.

Especially since both people come in and push the company so hard and that is their 1st post on the board what are the chances.

If by some miracle you guys have no connection to the company do yourselfs a favor post an introductory thread telling about yourselfs stay a while then maybe we will listen to your arguments.

I vote if there is a 3rd post of the same nature simply close this topic or remove it all together

I agree with everything you said except what I bolded. Everything is open here. No closed or locked threads and no deleted threads. It's the way we roll. Yeeaaah

[CgarDan]

NHC totally agree with you except that if these people have a definite agenda and it is to make profit of us and nothing else they are a shame on all BOTL's especially if they go to the other boards and use us as a refference or whatever.

No real worries there...any board worth a shit has quite a few members from this board kicking around. All the "big names" so to speak, are active on a lot of boards. I personaly only read 3, and only really participate here, but some of these guys have no life at all



POST 500 BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Excuse my impudence master, and allow me to kowtow.

Just because im new to this place doesnt mean i have to sit back and watch the "big boys" play. This is a semi-free topic and I intend to use it to its full effects. Whether or not you read what i type can't be helped.

Look, i am neither for nor against this company im actually quite intrested in how it goes, and i see all you guys beating up on him, i decided to do a little looking around you'd be amazed what you can find if you do a little research.

[bigpoppapuff]

get your ammo ready,chronic....you haven't met all the "big boys" yet....you ain't got shit....



i'll be back later to deal with you...if you've got the stones to stick around......

Hex - can we get an IP check on these guys. Mario, Don and The Chronic.

Also, If you cigars are dry aged and don't require a humidor you should go to a European Board where they are into those.

I have to assume it is clear to you that this is going no where. Take bigpoppapuff up on the sampler idea because I highly doubt you will get any purchasers here with out doing so.

Also www.clubstogie.com has a bunch of guys that like dry aged cigars. They get a lot form Italy. Try them out.
