I think that email was legit.
I found these cigars here in Canada for just 29.99 CAD for a bundle of 10.
The smell is very nice, i havnt tried yet, but i feel bad for these guys since its
impossible to buy decent cigars in Canada for just 3 dollar. Its about 2.5 X price for the same cigar in the States for us.

You've determined this how?

They could very well be affiliated with the manufacturer or a B&M. You could be right but I will wait and see.

Alot of times if you Google a cigar a thread on a forum is the first info to come up. If the Googler doesn't bother to read the forum rules and whatnot he can end up signing up and posting a reply without having done any kind of introduction.

I generally only smoke Cuban cigars, however, I was recently introduced to the Batey brand and must admit I was more than pleasantly surprised, this is a very very good cigar and I highly recommend you try one.

Very interesting first post seeing that you just joined our community.

Why not take a few moments to introduce yourself in the New Inmates forum. Give us a chance to get to know you better.

As do I, maybe I need a sacasm font. In fact I can think of 1001 reasons for a sarcasm font. Maybe as a noob you should look at my sign on date before you think I haven't paid attention to a thread

OP, if you are affiliated, tell Jaime I said hi

Wow, sorry, I didn't realize I'd stepped into exclusive territory. I was simply attempting to share what I know about Batey cigars, and no I don't work for them nor am I affiliated with them in any way. My name is Lee Mason and I am the National Director of The Young Warriors Network, if you want to know what I do visit my website www.youngwarriors.net and then maybe you won't make an ill informed remark that as a new person I must be a spammer or affiliated with the company. I am a cigar smoker, have been one for many many years, being a Canadian I also travel to Havana regularly to stock up, I have some very good rollers there. We also have a private cigar club here in Vancouver, none of our members are snobs. And BTW I didn't see any RULES when I signed up.

I'm not going to speak for others but it is easy to understand that when a new member comes in and with their first post seems to promote a cigar in a thread entitled "Suspicious email" that those conclusions might be drawn.

As for our rules, did you look around for them? They are fairly prominently displayed as an Announcement in each of our sub-forums.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

So you are saying that the checkbox that states "Are you sure that you have read and can abide
by forum rules?" was checked by someone other than yourself? Because if you checked the
box stating you had read and understood the rules, then you should have read them and
understood them...that's why the box is there and won't let you proceed without acknowledging it.

So YOU DID see something about rules, sir.
