CA Magazine page 110...someone ought to be shot

OLS · 11-05-2009, 02:30 PM

December 09

I would be MORTIFIED if is had paid for the ad on page 110. I am sure the
advertising company said, "NO, it will look great! Trust Us."

It's not the first time I've seen the ad.

TripleF · 11-05-2009, 02:40 PM

They do look more like hotdogs than cigars.....

Prospector · 11-05-2009, 03:06 PM

sort of look like leather.

bobarian · 11-05-2009, 03:07 PM

Dont have the ad, but do you think if they made the ad unshiny that you would smoke a Te Amo?????

Obviously somebody does Bob. Te Amo has been around as long as I have been smoking cigars.

Snob

A few years ago, the CEO of the company I used to worked for gave me a Te-Amo. He ordered me to smoke it. To my surprise, I liked it.

Thank you! My wife and I were saying the exact same thing last night. She looked at those cigars and thought they were made out of plastic or something. Those pictures of the Te-Amo have been HORRIBLE the last few magazines I have seen ads in.

JJG · 11-05-2009, 03:13 PM

oh man please, someone scan and post this.

well, you've got a good point there.

11-05-2009, 03:41 PM

I've seen the ad a few times. They sure do look weird and undesirable.

doctorcue · 11-05-2009, 03:50 PM

Well, at least they taste good.

The Poet · 11-05-2009, 04:33 PM

Does it really matter how bad that photo is? As Te-Amo's paying for the ad, all they want is that "93" rating from CA.

sikk50 · 11-05-2009, 04:33 PM

I've seen the ad several times and every time I have to ask myself if they did it on purpose to make them look more oily

NCRadioMan · 11-05-2009, 04:42 PM

It looks like every cigar pictured in the JR rags.

wavescrashing · 11-05-2009, 06:24 PM

Well heck at least it's a cigar ad. If I wanted to read 50 pages about watches and suits, I'd open up my Esquire.
