Black Band Project

I'm totally bummed by the Camacho Slack Band Project™ myself. It turns out that I really like the Camacho Connecticut and the Triple Maduro. I've had them in the 11/18 vitola and consider them awesome smokes. I'm conflicted, because the consumer rebel in me screams out to never again buy anything made by Camacho. On the other hand, I've personally seen how a marketing department can totally SCREW a manufacturing/production department.

So, I won't be boycotting, but I'll take every possible opportunity to spread the word about how they screwed the pooch on this one.

I also don't appreciate getting spammed with emails from Camacho telling me about their constant whoring out of their product, and how they're the official cigar of the emmy party or any of that nonsense. I don't care.

Just a note guys... The emails aren't spam cause we signed up for them when we signed up for "The Project".... but at the bottom of every email should be an option to unsubscribe.

You're right.

Here is your chance to get your cigars from the Black Band Project. I just had a lengthy conversation with Dylan at Camacho. It may interest you to learn that they had 13,000 responses and have sent out 12,700 packets of cigars,a healthy percentage. There are a few folks who perhaps did not receive their smokes,and those of you who actually did participate can email Dylan@Camachocigars.com to help them get your cigars to you. Dylan explained that the mailing process was stringent,and that some addresses were kicked out for errors,so you have another chance for fulfillment if you simply email him. He has the list and can check your address,and he will see to it that you get your smokes.
When you do get your package,you should post a note that you have gotten it,Camacho deserves that much.
Concerning the emails we are getting,if you no longer wish to be kept in the information loop,you can opt out,and you will not get the updates any more. I enjoy the chance to learn what's going on in the industry,so I will stay on the list.
I want to thank Dylan and Camacho for their efforts and the excellent cigars they sent me.I respect the effort and the company for it.....Garbandz

That's bullsh!t.

Whenever I enter an address for something like this I use the exact results as provided by the USPS website, which, last time I checked, is the only legal addressing system for this country.

Plus, only 300 addresses didn't go though? Yeah, right. And if it really was only 300 people, that would take a human about one, maybe two days to correct those addresses, but they didn't bother.

If only they had some way of contacting those people, like say, via email maybe...

Way to go Camacho marketing department. First you screw up, then you don't give a crap, now you lie to cover it up.

I guess I was one of the 300. Sparta...

Not to ruffle feathers, but the bold above is TOTAL BS.

They have our email addresses... WE are the ones who at least deserve a simple email stating something to the regards of invalid address (which mine is not, I can guarantee) or whatever excuse they wish to offer.

Out of all of the forums out there, public and private, communication is key and the lack of it is the downfall of many.
At least they could communicate.

When I went to unsubscribe lo and behold it showed when I subscribed to the bbp date, time, my name and email address:

They sure could have confirmed address problems with me if they chose.
