Cigarbouts.com

[ggiese]

This is a site that features "micro-rolled" cigars and is trying to get the word out about them. They host "bouts" where their cigars face off against the mass-produced premiums. You can check them out here:

Cigar Aficionado also covered their event and featured famous former heavyweights like Gerry Conney and Chuck Wepner. In case you may not know, Wepner was the man who inspired Sylvester Stallone to create the Rocky movies(Wepner floored Ali in a fight, but lost by decision)

Scott - what would possess you to post this this crap promoting a site that promoting cigars from a known liar... There are QUITE a few people who are not happy with this guy. You even appeared to change your opinion after Kevin rightly called this guy out, but in your initial post when you started this thread, you appear to be validating his product. I'm not sure which side of the fence you're on with this guy...

First of all - these cigars are crap. I've heard enough reviews of his product to know it's not something I'm interested in. Secondly, he's been on several boards promising to send out samplers. It seems VERY few have received their promised smokes. Thirdly, this site is only promoting Joya de Panama cigars - nothing else. And the next "event" they have scheduled is already over a month done with no results listed... WTF They don't even mention any other cigar, other than the Joya de Panama (which is rather odd, considering they say they are going "micro-rolled" "against more widely known mass-market brands in a blind taste test.")

The Cigar Aficionado article you point to is blatant promotion for Joya de Panama. To say anything is would be insane. This whole "cigar bout" thing is a full on promotion for JDP...

I'd steer clear of this one, and I certainly wouldn't be promoting anything remotely related to lending credibility to this guy or this product.... But, then - who am I??? You guys decide for yourselves. Ask for a free sampler - I'm sure he'll send it to you...
