J. Fuego around here is as synonymous to "crap" as Cremosa is on these forums.

He stopped by a long while back, did the demo thing, talked it up, had a small event, and we ordered a lot of boxes because his samples were GOOD.

Almost a year later, we can't sell his sticks even dumped in the 40% off bin.

Similar thing happened here.

We bought tons of boxes. Something like 5 of each size.

We are still on box one of each. We can't sell them for ****. It's retarded.

I will say, Jesus is a great guy.

I agree. Last time he was around, he wanted to replace all of our boxes with new ones, saying we must have had bad boxes.


I think perhaps when his stuff first came out, it was a little rushed and not so great. I suspect the current production boxes are mush better, but I can't convince the owner to pick up 2-3 more boxes to try.

Every cigar maker needs to put their 2nd rate leaves into something. Fuego puts them into the 777. I have tried one before. And while not totally bad, I would hesitate to purchase another.

Ouch, that sucks. At a B&M I once worked at we had the same problem with P.I. and other Reyes stuff. If I remember rightly, we gave one away with other cigar purchases and told the customers they were a special purchase and told them that once they were gone they were gone for good.

So instead of trying to sell them, you are dumping them off on Dan and I.
