If you had to compare it to another cigar -- what would it be? And also strength wise where is at ?

i'd say it was to the low end of full-flavored.....absolutely delicious.....it was a very enjoyable cigar...i'd suggest trying some samplers......all i can say is i liked the first one i tried...

Shame, Don Collins was online when I first noticed this thread. He must have missed it 'cause he didn't say anything.

**Don Collins Cigars** · 06-26-2006, 02:25 PM

Hi all, I've been reading all of the comments about the Lonsdale that bigpoppapuff smoked from us. Thanks for the review. I am still awaiting 2 other reviews. I just want to again say thanks to him for the review and hope that you all enjoy reading comments posted about our cigars. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Thanks for the posts!

Damn you Sid, damn your eyes!

**nhcigarfan** · 06-26-2006, 03:27 PM

OK so what about the 70% discount mentioned here
http://www.cigarsmokers.com/showthre...2795#post52795

So is it 70% off the price listed for bundles on the website?

Also if someone orders and bundle I'll take a 5'er if you're offering.

I would agree with you on the discounted pricing if there were other sites that had sold your cigars at a higher price - otherwise your price becomes the defacto MSRP.

While BPP liked one of your sticks, I am still hesitant on the pricing and/or salesmanship. It took a while for one of our FOGs to coax you to send out a couple samplers - and you just constantly restate yourself. Plus the fact that a couple new people seemed to post specifically to your cigars. Don't get me wrong - your cigars could be fantastic and you could be a great guy - but you lend yourself to some suspicion.

Personally, I'd hire BPP to rep for you - he's got the credibility, network, and polish to help you out.

sorry for the threadjack...

not sure...you can't tell by the aroma ......doesn't taste like a flavored cigar....probably the LF.....i'll try the other lonsdale that was in the sampler...see how they compare...

**Don Collins Cigars** · 06-26-2006, 05:14 PM

Understand , I am not trying to sell you anything . And Yes , our prices are in line with what I believe are economical. Remember these are a specialty, if and when you purchase , these become an asset .. not a liability. There has been only one review and all I'm asking is for feedback. No one has to hoax me into sending any samples out. I will trust the judgement of the chosen one's who will be smoking and reviewing these cigars. Wait for the next couple of reviews and then you decide if you want to smoke Don Collins!

Thanks for your post!
