Title: Seriously?
Post by: BlackIrish on 08/14/2014 07:08 AM
At least the reviewer didn't hide his identity:

http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?action=cigars;area=showcig;cigar_id=88737

I'd suggest that you'd get a nice welcome and have more credibility if you introduced yourself and your cigars, and maybe even sponsored a Geek Critique.

I've never had a 5 star "dessert" flavored cigar in my life.  I would hate to see how high he would score a Pineapple White Owl!

There may be some bias in this review.

My first inclination is to remove it, but I'm going to wait on SenorPablo's direction.  He's the boss. :biggrin:

Probably the most humble review I've never seen.....self promotion knows no boundaries.

"Great cigar. Great company."  Ha!  I could understand promoting your own cigar, but trying to say the entire company is great through one cigar self-review?  That's funny.

I'd now like to review the above post by me.  I find Mautrak to be smart, insightful, wise, witty, perceptive, and obviously handsome, a hard worker, a good cook, a great husband and father, and a better-than-average driver.  Five stars!

Very unbiased review  :biggrin:

I love how the company advertises the freshness of their cigar. I as one always was under the impression that age on a cigar was a good thing, reading this I might have been wrong all along :

"These cigars do not compare to your typical cigar retailer as they have not been sitting in plastic in a humidor for months at a time. They are rolled, packaged, and shipped within days after ordering so that you can experience an original fresh, hand rolled cigar with minimal delay."

The whole thing is hilarious but does not make me want to smoke Bull City cigars, It does sound like Bull Sh$tty

Yeah, Nate just loves those fruity "dessert" cigars. There's even pictures!  :biggrin:

I don't know anything at all about the cigars.  I just know that I'm very skeptical when someone posts a 5-star review of their own product instead of taking the grown-up approach of introducing himself and his cigars and letting others do the reviewing.
Title: RE: Seriously?
Post by: Vroomp on 08/14/2014 03:56 PM

Could we add a "general douche bag" category to the feedback for guys like this? :biggrin:

 After all, you can always edit it if he comes back and fixes his error.... :confused:

The idea of a dessert cigar makes me want to suck a tailpipe.  I know one cigar store onsite brand to never try.  This review was very useful.

 I like what you did there Eddie, well played.

I think there needs to be an addendum to the flavor profile to add "Strong Notes of Barnyard"

Sorry Eddie, deleted yours as well.  :-)
