Vegas de Santiago Test Run Possibility

Hi ya'all. Question. IF I can pull off a test run, would any of you be willing to be involved? Marc at Vegas de Santiago is getting geared up to hit the US hard, and was wanting to do some test sampling to get a feel for the market. The only thing that would be needed from anyone involved is this.....fill out the questionnaire and send it back to me. Pretty simple and you'll get a couple nice sticks. This is pretty serious from my side of the table, so if you're reading this and don't feel that you have the "chops" to give me honest and knowledgeable answers, please don't volunteer. I haven't been given the go-ahead yet, but I'll be able to give Marc an ideal of the sample size and hopefully that pushes him over the edge. Thanks for the time!

Sitting at 4 as of 1114hrs. I'll cut the number of participates at 10, have to keep the cost reasonable. Here's their website if you're curious. I've probably gone through around 5 boxes myself and they are 100% at the top of my list. That's why I decided to work with Marc, the owner. http://www.vegassantiago.com/

Hey, that has got to be the butt ugliest cigar web site I have seen...
Says something about buying a sampler ... but I don't see how on the site... You know how?
... never mind I found it
after you get past the splash page the site looks better
Yeah, I'm still all cornfused, Kemper. The splash page says samplers $9.95. The sampler page says at the bottom $12 ... but no way to buy them I can see. Above that are bundles of five for 25 and boxes of three for 15. If you look for descriptions, you get phrases like this one, for the Chaman: "A Premium Cigar line that abides in tradition and respect." ... yabbut, what's it taste like?
Which one you like?
I'm kinda in the mood to buy something today anyways.

I'd be interested as well if there is still a spot.0

I'll do it.0

That's 11, one more then I wanted, but what the hell. Now, give me some time to see where Marc wants to go with all of this. Something that ya'all need to know about VdS (Vegas de Santiago), they are independent and out of Costa Rica. They primarily sell out of the US, but are trying to break in. I live in Louisiana, so I'm trying to lock in Texas, Louisiana and Florida.....just to start with. Have a little patience, yeaaaahhhhhhhhhh, just a little patience, hhhhhhmmmmmm. Sorry, love that song.1

No problem, I'll bow out.0

Oh no Eulogy, you're in it to win it my brother!1

This sounds a heckuva lot better than the Nielsen TV stuff I get on occasion, lol.
Thank you for the chance to try a stick that you highly regard and we cannot yet buy.
Looking fwd to this!

UPDATE! I just talked to Marc and he has agreed to the test-run/review. Not sure when he will ship the test cigars, but knowing Marc it will be very soon. Congrats to all that have signed up. I can't wait to read the reviews! Please, be honest in your reviews so that Marc can get a full range. Thanks again and I'll keep everyone informed.1

If anyone drops out let me know. And I'll pick up the slack.-- "There's something that doesn't make sense. Let's go poke it with a stick."0
