Just recieved my response from Dylan and I do hope I get them. I won't boycott them as the triple maduro and coyolar are damn fine cigars.

I wonder if the problems in Honduras are going to waylay the sending of packages from the company. I know that when some people asked about their cigars, the reps mentioned the timing of the deliveries was dependent on whether they could get the cigars into the country.

Same here... he answered one email of mine and said "Anything I can do..." and ignored a follow up from me.

Guys,

To answer all of the "thumbs-down" I've received... Cigars are being shipped this coming Friday, however we were totally cleaned out of Room101's. This being said, if you were on the list to be shipped you will receive a Camacho 10th Anniv Robusto and Camacho Select Robusto instead. The Room101's went really quick and the pipeline will not be filled again until late November.

Cheers,

Dylan

(BTW – I stopped drinking coffee with my pinky in the air years ago!)

Dylan,

While I did receive the black band cigars, I have no intentions of smoking them or any of your other products at this point. I have held on to them and several other cigars you manufacture hoping that you would make the situation right, but instead you have done nothing but smear more mud in the face of Camacho. The entire campaign was very poorly managed from the beginning and had continued mis-management. I can not accept any more excuses from your organization, as I stopped counting at three.

1. More demand than anticipated - You should have monitored enrollment and had a commitment on product availability.
2. More are being shipped - You actually knew your committments and still did not make enough product.
3. Substitution of another product - Again, you knew your committments and still did not make enough product.

When you offered up a product in exchange for viewing your marketing campaign, you entered into a contract that you did not uphold. I know that I do not speak for others on the forum, but had to let you know that you did lose at least one loyal customer as a result of the decisions that Camacho made. This is not the type of BOTL actions that I expect out of a company who promotes the BOTL Culture.

As to the proposed questions that might come up about the product that I do have, they will go out as Bombs until they are all gone.

Kris
