Re: Free Comacho Cigar Offer
Yes Yes very true... I did not think of that alternative... buy then why would they not down the page and stop the confirmation emails?

To get e-mail addresses to spam with e-mail, or maybe even sell to other companies? Don't know if this is what they do, but I know some do.

Hopefully they don't sell it to Thompson's.

The submission collection process is very fast and easily automated. Simply toss up a form and have people enter data. Unfortunately, the verification of this entered data does not happen as quickly. Addresses need to be verified, duplicate addresses need to be matched and discarded, ages need to be searched and verified, illegitimate email addresses need to be tossed, people setting up multiple accounts need to be disqualified, etc. All of this prevents the automation of an automatic cutoff at the X-many entry mark. |

Re: Free Comacho Cigar Offer
Don't you think one of them would have posted that in the other thread that was up for several months?

Re: Free Comacho Cigar Offer
So Icehog.... you have a distaste for Thompson's as well... Do you dislike them for just their marketing saturation? or for the sometimes horrible quality of their sticks?

Re: Free Comacho Cigar Offer
Why? At least I would have a legitimate gripe, since someone actually paid for the Happy Meal that was supposed to include a toy as clearly stated on the box. It's not like I sat around entering my name, email and address into a browser expecting to get something for nothing.

Re: Free Comacho Cigar Offer
yea I guess that is valid... but for noobs like myself a free cigar means a lot... especially when there are no B & M's nearby and the one closest to you doesn't carry them... Sure I could go on the devil site and order up a 5 pack or what-have-you but thats a bit much to pay for a stick you haven't actually tried yet...
Plus I'm cheap... no need to beat on the bargain seekers... lol |

Not beating on the bargain seekers. Beating on those who continue to beat a dead horse....for a second thread's worth.

Also I value my email address and don't think it is nothing. Does it really bother you T.G. that I opened this thread? I mean you didn't want the other one open but you have posted quite a lot in this one. |

Re: Free Comacho Cigar Offer
Very true... I actually didn't mind Thompson's till 3 things happened...
I was in love with the Alec Bradley Sampler they had there... got it cheap on an auction once and it was great... so great I bought another outright off the site... (much more expensive) when I received my second sampler, the cigars had a different taste, one (the one I looked to the most) was plugged and another had burn issues... That was the first strike... the second was a bit more personal for me... I LOVE Rocky Patel's- PATEL BROS cigars... After looking around I found that only Thompson's had them, I went so far as to email Rocky's company asking if I could find them anywhere else by the box... they told me they sold the line out to thompsons and that the sites that still had boxes were of older stock... That just sort of rubbed me the wrong way because Thompson's is by far I find the most expensive site around.... The final strike was when I was offered a free sampler from Thompson's, after talking to the guy I asked him to send any sampler that had a Patel Bros in it... When I did finally receive the sampler (slow standard shipping) it did even have a single stick from Rocky Patel - much less the Patel Bros I was looking for... I ordered another sampler or 2 till I was offered another free sampler, I told the thompsons agent about what had happened with the first one, he assured me they had a Rocky -only sampler and that it would be sent my way... It never came... So from then on I vowed never to give Thompsons another cent... and after discovery of Famous-smoke and the devil site I never have... |
