CI Page 59 - The Unsmokeables

Smokin Gator · 05-05-2009, 02:06 PM

I got the new May CI catalog today.

Page 59:

The Unsmokeables
"Youve heard of Good, Better, Best? Well, how about Crap, Crappier, Crappiest! Here are our picks for low-end handmade "winners" of the month."

I laughed a bunch!!!

The last one says "Run fast and far, no matter how the price might tempt you!

Classic

That page always makes me laugh.

A couple of links, even though not directly from catalog, these are the descriptions used, straight from the CI website.
These are my faves.

Despite the description, I love how the Magicos Cubanos are SOLD OUT!

And yet they want $20 a bundle for their trash. I don't get it?

MedicCook · 05-05-2009, 08:09 PM

These should be $1 a bundle with free shipping.

borndead1 · 05-06-2009, 06:47 AM

Reverse psychology.

There used to be a billboard for a local restaurant around here that said: "Warm beer and lousy food".

Remember the Deja Vu (strip club) billboards that said: "Hundreds of beautiful girls and 3 ugly ones"?

That's hilarious...I'd never stopped and read this before, would just flip right past it.

Da Klugs · 05-06-2009, 07:09 AM

They are good. (CI's marketing staff, not the cigars)

They may be good, but they'll not "good" me into buying that crap. I'll take them at face value on these puppies.

There's a bar near me with "warm beer, lousy food and ugly bartenders". The place looks like a dump so maybe they're letting you know what you're in for.

skibumdc · 05-06-2009, 11:28 AM

Another winning description

dunng · 05-06-2009, 11:38 AM

It's sad that they have a whole page of them...

borndead1 · 05-06-2009, 11:47 AM

How about a bunch of us each buy a different bundle and we do a pass?
