We can take credit for a couple who haven't stayed though.

Actually Tom, I think you undersell the wonders of the ToE. I've gone to other cigar fora, I even tried that "big" new competitor that seems to attract many. However, the place IMHO is a cesspool based of the attitudes of many, and the administrators' failure to create an environment of good taste.

The Asylum is, and always will be my sole BoTL forum.

Well in that case you sure keep the garden free of weeds...

Gosh Dangit, Adam stole my band name idea.

Anybody get their free cigar today?

Yes Yes very true... I did not think of that alternative... buy then why would they not down the page and stop the confirmation emails?

To get e-mail addresses to spam with e-mail, or maybe even sell to other companies? Don't know if this is what they do, but I know some do.

Besides the obvious fact that in the terms and rules of the promotion it states that by agreeing to the promotion terms, you are submitting your information for their marketing purposes and cutting this off early, from a marketing data and metrics collection standpoint, is foolish.

The submission collection process is very fast and easily automated. Simply toss up a form and have people enter data.

Unfortunately, the verification of this entered data does not happen as quickly. Addresses need to be verified, duplicate addresses need to be matched and discarded, ages need to be searched and verified, illegitimate email addresses need to be tossed, people setting up multiple accounts need to be disqualified, etc.

All of this prevents the automation of an automatic cutoff at the X-many entry mark.

That, sir, is a distinct possibility.

I stand schooled on the finer points of marketing...

Ah yes... the seedy underbelly of the internet... spam e-mail.... well I gave my address and as far as I can tell no spam mail.... unless my junk sweeper is just that good...

The reason's for this thread were clearly spelled out and it is my hope that a few of our aprox. 7,000 members would have received a cigar. That's another reason for this thread.

The offer is still up as of this minute at the above address.

I received a conformation e-mail on Aug 22 and offers for other cigars (coming from davidoffusa.com--I guess the parent company.) coming about 2 every month.
I have not received any word about the giveaway.
Please post on here if you receive anything or hear anything about the 10,000 having been given out.

Personally I don't like Comacho as a company-(past history)- but am willing to grab a free cigar to send to the troops.

Bless you & Thanks Bro.

My thinking, and again Hope, is since sign up just ended...there might be some chance for the cigar giveaway to actually happen.

Don't you think one of them would have posted that in the other thread that was up for several months?

Why? At least I would have a legitimate gripe, since someone actually paid for the Happy Meal that was supposed to include a toy as clearly stated on the box. It's not like I sat around entering my name, email and address into a browser expecting to get something for nothing.

Both threads about the Free Comacho cigar were opened in the later part of Aug (22nd,24th). Just a shy over a month; not a huge amount of time as threads go. and with the registration just ending....well anyways.

Because I would prefer if you wish to be kbliching about something that happened 35 years ago that you open your own thread and do it there.Thanks
Also I value my email address and don't think it is nothing.
Does it really bother you T.G. that I opened this thread? I mean you didn't want the other one open but you have posted quite a lot in this one.
