    Catfishbuzz is crushing it! I challenge anyone to find a post he has not commented on...
    Mebbe I need to go back and load up on "I havent tried this stick. Great review!" posts. LOL

    HA! That's not what The Cat is doin... it's clear that he has read all the reviews he's posted on... I need to go in and reply to many of his questions...

    I know better than that out of Cat or any other member of this forum, was just goofing around. Honestly, I hope anybody BUT me wins the contest. The contest was just a much needed kick in the pants to get over to your site and hook up the twitter and support The RobbyRas, before The RobbyRas layeth tha smacketh down on my rooty-poo a$$!

    Exactly....his site is very intersting in comparison to other review sites I've seen. The webpage design and user interface makes you want to click on different cigars and read reviews...not like other blogs you have to dig through to find info. Robby and I talked about banter, questions, etc.., and it would be nice to see as much as possible on there.

  • catfishbluezzcatfishbluezz Posts: 7,000 ✭✭✭
    This cigar sounds soooooooooo tasty...... Sosa works with Fuente...so you know it has to be good and knowing Robby's reviewing skills, it's on the list now lol
  • The SniperThe Sniper Posts: 3,910
    Ugh, Sosa... my only exposure to the brand at all came when I visited Miami and went into their shop a few months back. Only one guy working in the store, and he honestly couldnt have given less of a **** whether I was there or not. Honestly the worst experience Ive ever had in a B&M, hands down.

    Maybe I got a little spoiled that week, because EVERY other shop I went to, especially in Calle Ocho, was awesome - the shopkeepers, the sales people, the rollers, EVERYBODY was so amazingly cool. Really made you feel like you were a long lost relative or best friend who had come back from being away for a long time.

    Sosa? It was like I was gum on the guy's shoe. I picked up a couple of their sticks because I made it a point to get at least one of each of the house blends of the places I visited, but every time I see that stick in the humidor I remember that experience and reach for ANYTHING else.

    Rant off, we now return you to your regularly scheduled thread. :-D

    HA... isn't it amazing how a small interaction can totally alter you opinion of an overall brand? When I worked in retail, I felt the same way and was real particular about the kids I hired to work in my store. Nothing worse than a retailer who acts like they are doing YOU a favor by being there...

    With that being said, I would suggest you give them another shot. I have been dealing with them a lot over the last few weeks, mainly via email, and they have been very receptive. I've only had a few of the cigars, but I will stand behind my assessment of the Super Selection... I've shied away from saying this, because it is a bold effing statement, but it reminded me of a poor man's Anejo... they are different sticks to be sure, but there are similarities there... and for $6-$8 you really can't go wrong...

    I had to clear out my cookies once when it kept doing that, it was very frustrating.

    and i found out today at work that the RobbyRasReviews site will indeed crash my Droid, lol. and i coulda kicked Butt! Sosa's was the First B&M that i ever visited on a semi-regular basis, the guys there are great, and will put up with touristy noobness (i really can't wait to go back since i know more about cigars now!) I will be visiting their store again as soon as i can, but i doubt i will ever work as close as i did, just a few doors down at Downtown disney!

    Ryan, do me a favor. When you figure out why you couldn't log in, let me know how you fixed it.
    All I could do is sit and watch the conversation.

    Rob was flying solo last night (read: his techie partner wasnt in attendance) so there were some technical difficulties to be sure. At some point my chat window locked out and I had a helluva time getting back in. All that being said, I dont think these issues are typical in the Cigar Chats, and PLEASE dont get so discouraged you dont try it again sometime - last night was the first one I got in on and it was a REALLY good time! :-)
