The New Site May Finally Be Ready This Week!

A few months ago I told you guys we were working on a new and innovative cigar site similar to Daily Cigar Deal but with a new concept in selling that I have not seen by anyone else on the web... not just cigars but ecommerce as a whole. I was hopeful this was going to roll out in July but I greatly under estimated how much work was required to get this tested and off the ground. I plan to roll it out this week to the public and announce it here first then over the next few weeks send our announcements to all our customers and really start marketing it. One thing I can tell you, as a buyer or simply just watching the action on the site, it is addicting as hell. The action is fast and the deals are crazy. Some items can be had potentially way below my cost. (hence why I am rolling this out slowly to make sure I dont lose my shirt big time). Stay tuned!

    Can't wait to see it. Sounds like a cigar auction site?

    Not an auction per say but kind of a hybrid of different things. What I like about it is its simplicity. One lot at a time, the action is fast yet easy to follow and even if you are not particpating in the sale as a buyer, it is still fun to watch.

    Maybe it's closer to a groupon type thing? But live? So the more people you have interested in a cigar the lower the price goes until you maybe hit a certain mark or something or until a timer hits zero?

    I aint falling for it again - talk of this mystery site has become the forum equivalent of Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. LOL Until I see a "Its Up & Running!"-type post from Alex S, I aint biting.
