hilarious!!!

Re: CA Magazine page 110...someone ought to be sho

Was in Barnes & Noble yesterday and of course I had to make my way over to the magazine rack after reading this discussion. That ad looked ridiculous and had I been Te-Amo I think I would seriously be thinking about firing my ad agency. Those sticks looked absolutely horrendous and no way would that ad get me thinking "Hey, I need to try one of those.". Last time I checked smoking plastic will bring the cancer on in a hurry.

Re: CA Magazine page 110...someone ought to be sho

Wow, brilliant ad!

I mean after all, when was the last time there was a three page discussion on Te-amo around here? ;)

Re: CA Magazine page 110...someone ought to be sho

gee, I don't know, let's see how petty this thread REALLY is....

CA page 161. Of coures, no comments made about that (shocking)

JR Cigars - Thank you NCRadioMan and weak link for remembering that. Kudos to S15driftking for remembering the website photos.

Famous Smoke Shop (LK Holiday2009) - oh, pick a page...67, 69, 70

Cigar.Com (October 2009) - the ENTIRE catalog

Cigars International (Nov 2009) - throughout the catalog

Cigar Magazine (Winter 2009) - pg 2 (oh wait, same ad!), pg 70, 86, 102

And for the "Nub" comparisons??

Guess you haven't been paying much attention, considering Felipe Gregorio was marketing the "Fat Boy" (3 1/2 x 55) since, oh, 2002...(technically 2000, according to the article quoted below) -

Quote:

The cigars -- which look as if someone sliced a robusto in half -- were conceived by owner Philip Wynne and vice president of national sales Michael "Micky" Pegg two years ago at the Retail Tobacco Dealers Association annual trade show in San Antonio. The pudgy smoke was originally intended solely as a sales vehicle, so that cigar store owners could sample Felipe Gregorio's various blends of tobacco without taking an hour to smoke each cigar. But the oddball smokes were an unintentional hit. "Everyone complimented the size and the flavor," said Wynne, and what started out as merely a sampler size expanded into an entire line.

Funny thing....they still make that same cigar to this day....

I would be MORTIFIED if is had paid for the ad on page 110. I am sure the
advertising company said, "NO, it will look great! Trust Us."

Re: CA Magazine page 110...someone ought to be sho

Actually this thread would be more at home in a graphic designer/advertising forum.

And if Te-Amo should be mad about anything then look more closely at the thin, ragged black line around a couple of the cigars. That's indication of poor work by the person clipping the background from around those cigars. Another thing is that the highlights are different on some of the cigars. The highlight should all be from the same direction.

The way I look at it is that we can't discuss politics so we might as well pick on something else.

LOL, indeed tough spot to be in.

That's because I'm a professional. It's what I do for a living.

well, i did just that - opened up my new esquire, flipping thru it just to see what's what - and bam, page 169, romeo and julieta ad depicting some glistening, oily, sugary sweet cigars...
