Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

Just saw a link to this on another site... Anybody else heard of it? A search yielded no results..

It looks interesting, but I'm wondering if its just marketing for a new brand. They say they give you a free cigar after the 4 episodes of their mini show. I signed up... We'll see what happens

I went for it too, and am sure its marketing for some "hip" brand, new or old. It seems like Drew Estate, or even Camacho, but who knows. I'm a cigar nerd, so I'll give anything a whirl.

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

I bet its Philip Morris. I can see them getting into the cigar business and that marketing campaign seems to have some money behind it. Plus would any cigar manufacturer out there now call out Cigar Aficionado as bullshit ratings?

Just my 2 pennies

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

That's what I was thinking. I can't see an established brand calling out the major publications. I thought it was probably some new cigar company trying to break into the industry. I hadn't considered Philip Morris. Does anyone know if they've purchased any cigar brands recently?

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

That video was rather goofy, I am not sure who they are calling out, maybe Rocky Patel for having too many brands. But I will take a free cigar any day.

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

They've bought the Black and Mild brand, but as far as handmades, I have no idea.

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

I just finished the fourth episode today. Anyone get the cigars yet?

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

The vids are too funny. Just watched the 3rd one.

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

It's OK if a brand calls out CA while doing business with CA. Those brands should expect the same treatment regardless of their other campaigns. Magazines are going to roll over for anyone who wants to put an advertisement in their issue.

*SPOILERS*




I watched the 4th episode on Monday... as anyone else who has watched the last episode has no doubt noticed, this looks to be a promotion for a new Camacho brand. Probably the "Camacho Black" or some such. We'll see when the cigars get here in a few weeks.

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

*SPOILERS*

Think it's actually the Legend-Ario, a lower end line from Camacho. That's the one line they mention in Episode 4.

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

I havent gotten ep.4 yet

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

They also mentioned the Select. And the "Black" is sometimes what they call the Coyolar. Either way, as a huge Camacho whore I'm interested to see what they come out with.

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

Tried to log in and the website is shut down. There is an announcement that says cigars will ship in early May.

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

There are a couple of Camachos I like....looking forward to getting the freebie(s) and trying em out.

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

nice, I used Wanger's addy and he can bring them to Vegas for me.

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

Used wangers addy as well :p like I do for almost everything that doesn't ship outside of the US

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

I just watched episode #4, I think it's goofy as hell but I'll smoke a freebie or two for watching their crazy videos.



:D

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

Pretty entertaining videos - good ole Camacho. Looking forward to the free smokes - love me some Camacho's!!!

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

Yep, goofy, I hope I do not miss out on the free cigar since I am moving.

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

It is a Camocho ad. I've watched them all and the commericials are not my style. That said, if they send me free cigars I'll gladly try them.

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

I watched the 4th episode over a week ago,no contact yet from anyone.......

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

Ive watched up to episode 3... They crack me up.

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

At the end of the fourth video they mentioned that the sticks would e sent to the mailing address that you registered with somewhere around mid-May.

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

Corny acting at times aside - they make good points in the vids! I have never tried them but am looking forward to a few sticks for review on them!!

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

the episode about cubans is quite hilarious....and ridiculous

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

Has anyone received the free cigar(s) yet?...I recently received an article sayings Camachos Black Band advertising campaign went better than expected.

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

So no one has gotten any yet eh? Haven't been a fan of the few camacho's I've tried. I guess I can't complain about freebies...

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

I'm wondering how many cigars they will have to ship out.

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

Anybody got their smokes from them yet?

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

No not me, they must be coming on a banana boat?:r

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

Or maybe they are gonna pull a KFC on us!

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?

Re: Black Band Project? Free Cigar?
 

I just received my cigars from Camacho for the project via USPS, they look good. Inside the box it gives you a link to sign into to find out more about the cigars but apparently it isn't working yet.
