Black Band Project

[Daustin333]

Guys,

To answer all of the "thumbs-down" I've received... Cigars are being shipped this coming Friday, however we were totally cleaned out of Room101's. This being said, if you were on the list to be shipped you will receive a Camacho 10th Anniv Robusto and Camacho Select Robusto instead. The Room101's went really quick and the pipeline will not be filled again until late November.

Cheers,

Dylan

Dylan,

While I did receive the black band cigars, I have no intentions of smoking them or any of your other products at this point. I have held on to them and several other cigars you manufacture hoping that you would make the situation right, but instead you have done nothing but smear more mud in the face of Camacho. The entire campaign was very poorly managed from the beginning and had continued mis-management. I can not accept any more excuses from your organization, as I stopped counting at three.

1. More demand than anticipated - You should have monitored enrollment and had a commitment on product availability.
2. More are being shipped - You actually knew your committments and still did not make enough product.
3. Substitution of another product - Again, you knew your committments and still did not make enough product.

When you offered up a product in exchange for viewing your marketing campaign, you entered into a contract that you did not uphold. I know that I do not speak for others on the forum, but had to let you know that you did lose at least one loyal customer as a result of the decisions that Camacho made. This is not the type of BOTL actions that I expect out of a company who promotes the BOTL Culture.

As to the proposed questions that might come up about the product that I do have, they will go out as Bombs until they are all gone.

Never thought I would live to see the day someone complained about FREE cigars.

It does not look like he is complaining about the free cigars, Kris is supporting those who did not receive their end of the deal. We gave Camacho our contact information, our e-mail, we watched their videos, and in return were to receive complementary cigars in return. It was a contract that they were not able to uphold. Most received them, and some did not. The points are valid to those who were left out.

I look forward to trying the cigars as there are two of the original three I have yet to smoke. The Room 101 would have been another great cigar to try, but it seems demand was larger than anticipated. The 10the Anniversary will be sent out as a replacement to the promised 300. So in total there will hopefully be three in my mailbox that I have yet to smoke.

Is it frustrating to see others receive them and not me? Of course. I give Kris kuddos for being willing to stand with those who were left out.

After reading Ferdie's reviews on the "Black Band Cigars", I would have liked to have a chance to smoke the "C" stick. But, IMHO Life is way too short to sweat the small stuff, like not receiving some free cigars!

So you want a triple maduro, and you still need to deserve that "you've been bombed by the Tulip Twins" sticker. Dearly noted

[Savor the Stick]

this is from another thread here on the board...and also what this really boils down too.

For those of you ( my Brothers) that don't understand it

**"6 months. Amazing how people are still b*tching about FREE cigars after SIX MONTHS".

** "Hard to believe... simply hard to believe.....
that this thread has not died an inglorious and tacky death."

etc
we understand that you don't see it as we do.

"Hello fellows...I won't be complaining about free cigars( if I ever get them). To me this was never about free anything! It was a contract between them (Comacho) and me. I watch their skits and would receive 3 cigars to try. Never got the cigars though I watched their skits and enjoyed them for the most part.
never got the promised cigars--broken contract (their broken word.)

I was told in an email that cirgars would start shipping in May.....to make a long story short...I grew up feeling that a person's word meant a lot, and you don't give it, if you can't, or might not be able to keep it.
How is a man's(woman's) reputation built? By keeping their word over and over and over.....EVEN if it ends up costing you.
This is about reputation, commitment, honor, truth, integrity, principle reliability obligation-- look at the synonyms for these words and understand a little better why some are a little miffed.
So now the "Room 101" cigars are not honored.
That's my 2 cents and I feel better now. "

Truly, I am bewildered by his attempt to attack me and I refuse to answer the unfounded claims which he has detailed, mainly because the statements are false.

As of this Friday, the remaining 300 out 12,300 who participated will have been taken care of.

If anyone has an inquiry regarding the project, please feel free to call me directly at any time, 305-592-0722 x747 or email me dylan at camachocigars dot com.

Kris, if you would like to call and chat, I would be more than glad to talk.

Cheers,

"Dylan you and your company did it to yourself. But maybe you can't understand it."

I received 2 cigars about 4 days ago. The 10th Anni, and the select both robusto size. I really wanted to try those BB cigars, and the room 101 sounded interesting.

See it as what??

The EXACT way that Slavac called it in the thread you are referring to -

The Fskers!

OP be less butthurt. You're the very pinnacle of the age of entitlement.

THAT is how it is, and how we see it.
