cigar reviewers needed
 

Hi,I am reviewing cigars for a client and I have too many to review personally,and I need help.I am currently offering this program on the Cigar Outcast site,and I want to give the members of this site a chance to participate as well. If you are interested you can email me your address and I will send you 5 cigars to start and a guide sheet of the items to include in the review. The cost to you is $5.00 to cover the shipping,if you want a second batch,it will be another $5.00 after you have completed the first 5 reviews.The cigars to be reviewed are as follows,at this time: Patel,Cao,Playboy,Perdomo lot 23 & Habano {conn,Mad,Habano},A.Reyes, Gispert,Bauza,Monte black, and white,Lusitania,Don Tomas, Flor del Caney,and so on.As soon as these are finished there will be more different brands,so you can see these are not "dog rockets", and you will get a chance to do real reviews for real brands,and get some good smokes for the cost of shipping.The first reviewers will be considered for round two,so if you are interested,let me know. Those of you who are also members of Outcast can check that site to see that this is not a scam or a trick,I expect the first of you to receive your 5 packs will post it and let others know it is for real. thanks!!Garbandz

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

How do we sign up?

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

1) Cant check you out on other site, looks private, no way to register.

2) Hard to send you an email without an email address. Not posted unless I missed it.

"reviewing cigars for a client" seams odd since you listed many different brands.

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

I was kind of thinking along the same lines. How about you send out the cigars and we'll pay for the shipping when we get them? No? Didn't think so.:rolleyes:

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

Cigar Outcast is invite only. It is basically like our site but the refugees from Cigar Live after the big blow up.

This sounds similar to what we are doing here at TexCigars but probably not legitimate. Asking reviewers to pay for a service they are providing does not make sense.

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

Call me crazy but why in the world would I pay for shipping to "review cigars for a client" of yours? :confused:

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

:tpd:

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

I received my 5 pak and have smoked the first cigar and will do the rest within the next week or so as weather permits. The brother here is totally legit and is providing a great deal for 5 good cigars,,,sending him the $5 for shipping is a pretty cheap deal when you consider you are getting $4- $7 cigars each in the 5 pak.

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

I sent out the money this morning. So I am glad to hear it all worked out for you.

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

Is the client Puff.com?

:tpd:

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

Tom is a good brother here,,,his credentials are excellent and there are quite a few other brothers that are "reviewing" these cigars. I understand that those who don't know how this works are skeptical,,,I would be as well if he wasn't already involved and smoking my cigars he sent. There are enough members on other sites that are reaping the benefits and I wouldnt put my name on this if I thought there was something "fishy" going on. I think if you click on the brothers avatar and get in touch with him one on one he will answer any other questions you might have about the reviews.

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

We have been talking though PM's. I have no doubt it is going to be fine.

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

It might be legit, but if the reviews are for puff (?) it should of stayed there :2

Re: cigar reviewers needed

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

If you have concerns then that is something that you should ask the author of the post. Myself, I am only reviewing the cigars that are sent and could care less who wants them. I do it because I love smoking cigars and if somebody wants my reviews on them I am only too glad to give a review. I realize that there are those who would rather not do them for specific forums and that is certainly up to each individual. From what I read and understand the author is doing it because he needs help with the reviews and put it out for others to benefit from getting quality cigars and just paying the shipping,,,, which is a pretty good deal in that you get really good cigars and you can help by reviewing it for others. I think that a cigar person is a cigar person no matter where they light their cigar but by the same token if they don't want to take up the opportunity then pass on it. You'd be surprised how many members are cross members on different forums that are on here as well as Puff. My politics about another forum are my own but when all is said and done there are good people on every forum. :2

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

Can they be sent to the UK for additional costs? If so do you know what it would be?

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

5 cigars will be about 10 ounches I guess, flat rate prices can be found here. The UK is in group 5.

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

If this is true, then I assume the client is NOT pvff.com. ;)

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

Let me settle this for you,the client is definately NOT Puff.com .....Thanks

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

For the record,I asked out of my own curiosity.Nothing more.
I have zero animosity towards *any* other cigar boards.As far as I'm concerned,all cigar boards are steering the same ship.
A BOTL is a BOTL first and foremost.

As far as the five dollar issue,Garbandz is up front about it.It does seem a little weird asking for shipping money but I can also see the reason someone might need to ask.
Not to mention,five bucks for a premium sampler to review isn't a bad deal at all.

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

:tpd:

I signed up, I love to review cigars and this is yet another chance to review some smokes I have probably never had.

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

Got them today. They all look great. Thanks again.

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

Got mine yesterday...thanks! I will smoke and review them when I get a chance.

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

There are still enough sampler packs to let more folks in on this program. If you are interested,send a pm and I will send you some smokes... Garbandz

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

Pm Sent.

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

I got my package today, some nice cigars (I think, I have smoked non of them before).

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

Got mine today, I can't wait to review them. I've only tried one of them before (Perdomo Lot 23) and it was a different size.
Thanks again for the offer of letting us review them and all the trouble you've gone to to send them to me in the UK.

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

PM sent. Thanks Tom.

Scott

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

Greg,round two in the mail.Thanks again to all of the folks who have gotten on board, I hope I can keep this program going for a long time. I am talking to other companies about samples, maybe I will have some that none of us have seen before, and maybe some new releases,so stay tuned and keep those reviews coming.Also,tune in to Don Fernando's blog,he is a member and a fellow reviewer who is in Holland,he has reviewed some tasty cubans,maybe you can pick up some ideas from him about what to try...

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

Tom, do you need pics with these reviews, or no? I'll get the first one to you on Monday or Tuesday...
Scott

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

thnx Tom :) Check your mail later today, I will review the last cigar from your package in a few hours, then you will get all the remaining reviews in your mailbox.

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

I got my second round today in the mail. They look great, and I haven't tried any of the 5! This should be an interesting round. Thanks Tom.

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

Tom, I an gonna finish up round 1 tonight. I sent out the money for round 2 today. Thanks again for great opportunity.

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

Tom, got #1 out to you.. I'll smoke #2 tomorrow, and probably get the review out to you Wednesday.

Re: cigar reviewers needed
 

I finished up Round 2 today and sent out the last review. Thanks again Tom for letting CA members participate.
