[Flat4boxer]

Still waiting for mine

[Footbag]

Just got mine!

[Tenor CS]

I got mine. I was disappointed that 2 of the 3 cigars that were supposed to be "new and unreleased" are, in fact, readily available.

I was pleased to get the new Connecticut. But the Triple Maduro, I've already had a few of, and the Corojo is well stocked by 2 local B&M's.

[Garbandz]

Got the three pack labeled A,B,and C. Looks like Tenor is correct,I recognise two of these.I will let them rest a few days and try them out.Thank you Camacho for the goodies...

[tobii3]

[sodomanaz]

[Caymus]

What is it with free cigar promotions and shipping times ? While I did receive my Camacho cigars, whenever I order the Altadis cigar promotions from magazine ads (RyJ Habana Reserve was latest) it is months before I receive them. I got the box last week and it had been so long since I ordered them I forgot where they came from.

[nozero]

Still waiting and still hopeful in Texas...

[Emjaysmash]

Bump! Anyone else receive their sticks yet?

[Waynegro1]

[Mr. Ed]

FWIW, I remember it took a while to get the Macanudo 68 samplers as well as some free promotions that Altadis USA has done in the past. Hopefully you guys will get them soon enough!

I understand it will take a bit. I'm willing to wait, I just wanted to see if it has been moving along yet...

[Garbandz]

If you are still waiting for your smokes you should call Camacho and tell them,the nice lady said there was a list of recipients.My package was here 3 days after I posted this thread,so give them a call....

I heard from a couple folks that another batch hit some mailboxes today.

I'm smoke the Conny, Cigar A, from the package and I'm not wowed by it... I've heard good things about this one but it's not doing it for me. YMMV

[vankleekkw]

My package landed today. Looks like the trade embargo on Camacho's has been lifted, but not forgotten.

[wrinklenuts]

I received both of mine last night.

[marge796]

Guess who got their Black Band cee-gars?

Yup, this guy!

Yippeeee

I know a few people on the west coast & Hawaii who recieved the cigars.

[Savor the Stick]

Not yet! Not expecting them for a while if ever. I thought the skit was kind of cute, the whole idea and build up of interest...but I think they really dropped the ball on getting the cigars out.....3 months....REALLY!

That being said who am I to complain...if I get them they will be Free.:tu

[Garbandz]

You need to call the folks at Camacho and let them know you are still waiting. They have a list of the people who signed up,just let them know.You can google Camacho,the contact # is on the web site. Ask for the sales dept.....Garbandz

I guess I could, but it doesn't seem "right" to me to do that. Seems rather opportunistic, it would be like as if I had only signed up on the BB Project website for the free cigars ("Hey you forgot to give me my FREE stuff that I did nothing for! BASTIDS!"). I don't honestly even remember if there was mention of the free cigars when I signed up.

If they show up, they show up, if they don't, they don't.

[dannysguitar]

I agree. Not worth a phone call for me. I did send them an email, and never got a response...

[St. Lou Stu]

Not worth the call.

The damage is done.

[bookman]

Smoked "A" a few weeks ago. Natural wrapper I think. Pretty good. I'm gonna go on the porch and try "B", a maduro. Wish me luck. I'm sorry some of you didnt get yr sticks and had to watch those cheesy videos for nuthin. I got six smokes about a month after watching them. What are some thoughts on these sticks from those who received?

[vankleekkw]

Smoked the 'A' "Connecticut" but will not buy a Camacho until all is made right by the people they promised stuff to. Simple principles, don't offer something that you don't have.

How 'bout doing a BBP PIF? I was fortunate enough to receive 2 of each stick. I'd like to help out here by sending someone an A,B & C. Then when (and if) you get your sticks, send them to someone still waiting...

I'll send them out to first responder (U.S. only) to here (PM me yr addy). Together we can make this right.

yes.

[Fumes]

The skits were content free but well produced. So far no cigars though. I'm not about to bother them for free cigars, but it doesn't reflect well on their marketing not to follow through. It hasn't inspired me to buy any Camachos lately. :td

[Oxman]

I'm totally bummed by the Camacho Slack Band Project™ myself. It turns out that I really like the Camacho Connecticut and the Triple Maduro. I've had them in the 11/18 vitola and consider them awesome smokes. I'm conflicted, because the consumer rebel in me screams out to never again buy anything made by Camacho. On the other hand, I've personally seen how a marketing department can totally SCREW a manufacturing/production department.

So, I won't be boycotting, but I'll take every possible opportunity to spread the word about how they screwed the pooch on this one.

[punch54]

I'm totally bummed by the Camacho Slack Band Project™ myself.

I also don't appreciate getting spammed with emails from Camacho telling me about their constant whoring out of their product, and how they're the official cigar of the emmy party or any of that nonsense. I don't care.

[Garbandz]

Here is your chance to get your cigars from the Black Band Project. I just had a lengthy conversation with Dylan at Camacho. It may interest you to learn that they had 13,000 responses and have sent out 12,700 packets of cigars,a healthy percentage. There are a few folks who perhaps did not receive their smokes,and those of you who actually did participate can email Dylan@Camachocigars.com to help them get your cigars to you. Dylan explained that the mailing process was stringent,and that some addresses were kicked out for errors,so you have another chance for fulfillment if you simply email him. He has the list and can check your address,and he will see to it that you get your smokes.
When you do get your package,you should post a note that you have gotten it,Camacho deserves that much.
Concerning the emails we are getting,if you no longer wish to be kept in the information loop,you can opt out,and you will not get the updates any more. I enjoy the chance to learn what's going on in the industry,so I will stay on the list.
I want to thank Dylan and Camacho for their efforts and the excellent cigars they sent me.I respect the effort and the company for it.....Garbandz

That's bullsh!t.

Whenever I enter an address for something like this I use the exact results as provided by the USPS website, which, last time I checked, is the only legal addressing system for this country.

Plus, only 300 addresses didn't go though? Yeah, right. And if it really was only 300 people, that would take a human about one, maybe two days to correct those addresses, but they didn't bother.

If only they had some way of contacting those people, like say, via email maybe...

Way to go Camacho marketing department. First you screw up, then you don't give a crap, now you lie to cover it up.

Not to ruffle feathers, but the bold above is TOTAL BS.

They have our email addresses... WE are the ones who at least deserve a simple email stating something to the regards of invalid address (which mine is not, I can guarantee) or whatever excuse they wish to offer.

Out of all of the forums out there, public and private, communication is key and the lack of it is the downfall of many. :2
At least they could communicate.

[/rant]

[Wraiith]

I received mine about 2-3 months ago, but it was before I really got into cigars, so I gave them to Slavac. I don't know how many he has smoked, but I know he has at least had one and he said that it was very average and not exciting. This could also be due to the fact that they may have gotten a bit dried out in the cardboard/paper box transit....

I'll be interested to see what he thinks of the others whenever he gets around to smoking them (it may be a LONG time considering he has bought and been given MANY very nice cigars that have more appeal!!!)

If you're interested about them, let me know, but I don't expect much...

[ade06]

Since I never recieved the smokes from the black band project, I followed up with the marketing folks at Camacho today. They promptly responded to my e-mail acknowledging mistakes on their part and promised to send "Room101" cigars as a token of their appreciation. I'll update upon reciept...

I guess my soft side gave them another chance, but communication sure woulda been nice.
I mean, if they know of the problems, they should know who was screwed.

[poriggity]

Personally, I don't really care that I didn't get my free cigars. I'm not concerned about it, and the camacho connecticut is still a good cigar. That being said, this doesn't bode well for Camacho to not make good on the smokes, regardless of their "shipping address issues"

[T.G]

I've got a question for those who did recieve the cigars - how were they shipped? USPS or private carrier (UPS/FedEX/etc)?

[Wraiith]

Mine were sent in a paper box inside a flimsy cardboard box via USPS. Nothing fancy and just put into my mailbox.

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.

[Wraiith]

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.

Dylan sent me a response to my e-mail, said that they are going to be shipping out the remaining within a few weeks. Hopefully some of them will show up in my mailbox.

[Daustin333]

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!)

I guess I will hold off on giving you a call, hopefully you have updated my info as I requested in my e-mail to you.

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.

I wasnt on the list but I emailed you twice. I'm iffy but I'm not going to stop supporting Camacho as they do produce some enjoyable cigars. Then considering most people got their cigars and they probably increased their fan base with this it hardly was a failure. Too many are quick to attack all out for a simple error and assume you have been wronged in some terrible way. As far as I know they completed most of BPP to satisfaction, and they are working on getting it to be 100% complete and are ever giving out extra cigars as well for those unlucky few.

[Sr Mike]

Never thought I would live to see the day someone complained about FREE cigars.

:confused:

It does not look like he is complaining about the free cigars, Kris is supporting those who did not receive their end of the deal. We gave Camacho our contact information, our e-mail, we watched their videos, and in return were to receive complementary cigars in return. It was a contract that they were not able to uphold. Most received them, and some did not. The points are valid to those who were left out.

I look forward to trying the cigars as there are two of the original three I have yet to smoke. The Room 101 would have been another great cigar to try, but it seems demand was larger than anticipated. The 10the Anniversary will be sent out as a replacement to the promised 300. So in total there will hopefully be three in my mailbox that I have yet to smoke.

Is it frustrating to see others receive them and not me? Of course. I give Kris kuddos for being willing to stand with those who were left out.

After reading Ferdie's reviews on the "Black Band Cigars", I would have liked to have a chance to smoke the "C" stick. But, IMHO Life is way too short to sweat the small stuff, like not receiving some free cigars! :D

:dance:

[Sr Mike]

IMHO, I have not found a Camacho I did not like.

So you want a triple maduro, and you still need to deserve that "you've been bombed by the Tulip Twins" sticker. Dearly noted :r

[T.G]

I just recieved the replacements.

I suspect that the fact that my name somehow became Cat Alvarez might have something to do with the initial mixup (database corruption maybe?).

Thanks Dylan.

[dannysguitar]

I got 2 cigars in the mail on Saturday...

[ade06]

I got 2 cigars in the mail on Saturday...

:tpd: They were addressed to someone else, but said "or current resident", so I'm keeping them. lol They look really good! :D

[Sr Mike]

I received two cigars on Monday, they too have someone else name on them.

[Mikhail]

I give up.

X2

[punch54]

yep me to i give up

[Emjaysmash]

So everyone else received only 2 cigars now. huh.

[South Shield]

I gave up on receiving mine.

[Ratters]

Me too Travis. But that's OK, I already have enough Camachos. Well, once the two boxes I just purchased show up. :ss

And hey, don't be such a stranger.

[Aldebaran]

I was Kevin Johnson or something like that. In this box addressed to Kevin I received the two cigars.

[Sr Mike]

I wonder if we will be receiving the three cigars originally promised us, or just the two they sent out.

[OHRD]

I received mine several months ago, had the A but the B and C are still resting...

[Emjaysmash]

I wonder if we will be receiving the three cigars originally promised us, or just the two they sent out.

My feeling is just the two. Wouldn;t it be cheaper just to send all 5 all together?

[ade06]

It's all kinda funny. 1st we're suppose to get the 3 black band cigars, then we're told that we're going to get some Room 101 cigars and finally we receive 2 other cigars...

It's all good, they will burn a slow death just the same.

[OHRD]

Who received 2 sticks and what were they? I got 3, an A, B, and C

[replicant_argent]

Hard to believe... simply hard to believe.....




















that this thread has not died an inglorious and tacky death.

Wow Pete thanks for posting, you have brought so much to this thread, it is almost scary to even imagine what it would have been like without you.

[tobii3]

6 months.

Amazing how people are still b*tching about FREE cigars after SIX MONTHS.

[Sr Mike]

That's right tobii3. I hate accepting two way commitments only go one way. Thanks for your input.

[Savor the Stick]

this is from another thread here on the board...and also what this really boils down too.

For those of you ( my Brothers) that don't understand it

"Hello fellows...I won't be complaining about free cigars( if I ever get them). To me this was never about free anything! It was a contract between them (Comacho) and me. I watch their skits and would receive 3 cigars to try. Never got the cigars though I watched their skits and enjoyed them for the most part.
never got the promised cigars--broken contract (their broken word.)

I was told in an email that cirgars would start shipping in May.....to make a long story short...I grew up feeling that a person's word meant a lot, and you don't give it, if you can't, or might not be able to keep it.
How is a man's(woman's) reputation built? By keeping their word over and over and over.....EVEN if it ends up costing you.
This is about reputation, commitment, honor, truth, integrity, principle reliability obligation-- look at the synonyms for these words and understand a little better why some are a little miffed.
So now the "Room 101" cigars are not honored.
That's my 2 cents and I feel better now. " :D

As of this Friday, the remaining 300 out 12,300 who participated will have been taken care of.

If anyone has an inquiry regarding the project, please feel free to call me directly at any time, 305-592-0722 x747 or email me dylan at camachocigars dot com.

Kris, if you would like to call and chat, I would be more than glad to talk.

Cheers,

"Dylan you and your company did it to yourself. But maybe you can't understand it.":confused:

I received 2 cigars about 4 days ago. The 10th Anni, and the select both robusto size. I really wanted to try those BB cigars, and the room 101 sounded interesting.

[tobii3]

See it as what??

The EXACT way that Slavac called it in the thread you are referring to -

Oh my god! A company didn't give me my free cigars! How dare they try to substitute another free cigar for the one I paid so much...erm...

The Fskers!

OP be less butthurt. You're the very pinnacle of the age of entitlement.

THAT is how it is, and how we see it.

[Sr Mike]

Yet people wonder why a handshake no longer means what it used to.

[tobii3]

Gotta love this generation.

I sat on my a$$ and watched a video. Now GIMME GIMME GIMME.

Pathetic.

A Handshake??

The way you make it out to be, they should shake your hand, wipe your a$$, change your underwear and put you back in your crib.

[itsme_timd]

I disagree with the entitlement part. For me it's not that I'm 'entitled' to their cigars but that it was something they said they would do - it's about keeping a commitment.

I watched the videos, I enjoyed the videos, and if there was no promise of cigars then I would have been fine with that.

I know Dylan has recently replied to the complaints, but they went months with no answers - emails to Camacho were ignored, comments asking questions on their Facebook page were deleted, they avoided this like the plague for a long time. This was handled very, very poorly by Camacho no matter how you look at it. The received more bad press off of this than positive.

For the record, I was one of the first to get my BBP cigars - but I still think this was handled very unprofessionally by Camacho.

[St. Lou Stu]

:tpd:
The special thing about this and some other cigar forums is that people generally place a higher value on a man's (woman's) word and keeping such commitments.



BTW, Tobii, Brad.... The same generation that thinks it is entitled, which I totally agree with you guys on, is the same generation that no longer places value on a man's word or commitment. No?

I am not entitled. I do, however, place value on honor.

Entitlement. You use that word like you know what you are talking about.
