I just talked to Marc (owner) at Vegas. It was our first call. He's in Switzerland at the moment (lucky) and will be shipping the cigars for the reviews to me to distribute. They will be wide Churchill's (so far) and the number, I do believe, will be 7 per reviewer. I'm hopeful that he'll mix it up a little, but a wide from each line of his cigars is AWESOME....in my humble opinion.1

Much truth in your statement of awesome! So flipping stoked about this, thank you @kemper74
As far as format of reviews; do you want them on a Google doc, or will we PM them to you here?
Also, would you like them to follow a structured review format? May make feedback to Marc more useful.
I had a very simple template in mind like this:
-Prelight observations
-First third
-Second third
-Final third
-Closing thoughts
What do you have in mind?
Thank you,

Something very similar. I'll be sending details along with the cigars as well as my address in order to mail the reviews back in. I'll forward them to Marc. He's currently looking at pricing/shipping/tax as far as actually shipping a large number to me to find distributors for sale. Very interesting project that will hopefully blossom into something big.0

How long do we get. If it's something that needs to be done rather quickly I'll let someone else fill my spot."I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form."

I'd have to say 2 months. Should be enough time to acclimatize the cigars and give thorough reviews. What do you think???3

Sounds exciting-- "There's something that doesn't make sense. Let's go poke it with a stick."0

looking forward to this!
no matter where you go, there you are.1 -
Should be interesting as I have never done this with cigars. Wine, beer, whiskey yes. Thanks for setting this up!1
-
Hey ya'all! The cigars will be shipped to me very shortly. If you want to do this, I need address's ASAP.2

Texas is huge, Mississippi is right next door, and Alabama is between you and Florida. LA, TX, FL seems like a very odd territory to stake out.kemper74 said: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.
Sounds like good fun. I'd forgotten all about this.“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)

I'm actually getting ready to hit the road HARD for the brand. I'm jazzed. I don't want to do anything until this review is done though.1

I'm dig'n it Jay. I might throw something in, but that's a good outline my Brother!jarubla said:Much truth in your statement of awesome! So flipping stoked about this, thank you @kemper74

I now have all of the address'. I'm contacting Marc to confirm shipment of the "samplers" today or maybe tomorrow. It all depends on how busy he is.1

Sorry if there's been any confusion thus far. For a first run review, it's going pretty smooth so far though. Everyone's package of cigars will go out at the same time, once shipped the 2 month period will start. Sound good???

I just got done talking with Marc. Here's the deal. He's sending me 12, 7 cigar samplers!!! I thought it was only going to be a 4 cigar sampler. Marc truly is a great guy and makes some awesome boutique cigars, I can't wait til ya'all get a hold of these babies.3

Sounds good.-- "There's something that doesn't make sense. Let's go poke it with a stick."2

Bumpity?-- "There's something that doesn't make sense. Let's go poke it with a stick."1

Here's your bump.....and a pretty good one at that.
Just received confirmation this morning that the review "packages" were shipped out yesterday! Finally! All good things to those who wait. Once I'm actually able to track the shipping confirmation number, I'll give ya'all more detailed information,
Thanks for the patience guys!3
