I just got off of the phone with David at CAYP, he is being offered an early release on the 2014 Camacho Liberty’s today.
I have to tell David by 5 PM eastern today what my initial order is. So, if you want in on getting your 2014 Liberty's early, you must respond to this thread by 4:45 PM eastern today. And I will place a second order to make up the difference, I realize many won't be able to commit on such short notice.
For those new to CG, I’ve done this for a few years now. You can check my feedback to gage how I deal with BOTL’s.
2011 Distribution: http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=9774.0distribution&highlightmode=1 (http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=9774.0)
2012 Distribution: http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=14622.0distribution&highlightmode=1 (http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=14622.0)
2013 Distribution: http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=19418.0 (http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=19418.0)
I am going to handle distribution differently this year: orders, payment and shipping will be done directly from the CAYP website. Their standard shipping rates shall apply: free shipping on orders over $200, $8 shipping on orders under $200. I'll communicate the rest of the order details later. Cigars will again be $12.50 per. And yes, if you buy a full box, you do get the chest.
CAYP will again be sponsoring this years Geek Critique of the 2014 Camacho Liberty; 5 of the participants in this box split will be selected as Geek Critique’ers, and get an extra (free) Liberty for the GC.
When responding please use the format listed below.
Response format:
Yes I’m in, put me down for XX cigars.
I am/am not interested in being a GC reviewer.
And this year, I must have the email address you monitor, so PM it to me.
Thanks, and y’all Enjoy the Tobacco.

Many of the Geeks participating in the "early release" haven't bought from CAYP before. It is understandable to be a bit tentative the first time you buy from an online vendor.
So, I got a damn nice email from one of the participants, and thought I'd share it, sans handle.
"Kevin,
I ordered my four sticks early this morning and had an email waiting for me when I got home that my package had shipped, I'm liking this retailer.
Thanks for your work and for turning me on to a quality retailer."
I've been buying from CAYP for 4 years. IMO, they are good people.
Quotelubrix - 7/11/2014 1:38 PM Anyone know if these were tissue wrapped again?.
They were. Haven't taken all the tissue off yet, but plan to do so before I tuck them into the humidor.

Got mine today, looking tasty!
Quotetvolball - 7/14/2014 3:26 PM
Got to open mine on Saturday night when I got home. I have not opened one yet. I heard someone say they are wrapped in tissue. Do I need to remove the tissue or does it matter?

A few extra items were also delivered today as you can see....... :shades:
Well, the early release portion of this year’s Liberty distribution is complete. I really like the ordering scheme we used this year, very easy and smooth. Feedback has been left for all participants, and reciprocity is appreciated.
Anyone wanting in on the regular release please hit this thread. I'm told it will be in the Sept/Oct time frame.
I appreciate all the participation, and y’all Enjoy the Tobacco.

These were on sale at CI about a month ago...8/4 I believe where you could get a box for $179...that deal lasted about a day and I was on the fence getting splinters in my a$$....I was too late.

All 5 boxes arrived today!!!!! will try to get pictures up tomorrow....If not then it won't be for at least a week....
I really like the natural wood look on these boxes....nice heavy grain to them and it gives the box a lot more character than I was expecting......
Many thanks Kevin and the guys at Fair Trade Cigar Club Thank You as well!!!
