Title: Ads by Google
Post by: mcdimond on 12/05/2009 11:25 PM
So I see we have Ads by Google on the site now.

Paul, how do we make this send $$ to Cigar Geeks? Does it work if we just click on the ads?

And while we're talking about it, one of the advertisers is Taboo Cigars. Anybody tried them?

I got a Taboo sampler pack once.  They were very friendly, quick to send it, and threw in a bunch of free stuff (pens, a notepad, coasters, etc.)

Yes I do have Google Ads on the site now.  If you see something that looks interesting then go ahead and click it and it drives a few cents to the site.

However, don't just click a bunch of ads.  They have a way to detect abuse and can shut me off from the program completely.

Thanks,

Taboo is a legit and well-regarded seller (think the name is actually Town & Country Cigars) based in the DFW area. They have a line of cigars called Taboo.  I've had a bunch.  One of the most popular is the Twist, a barberpole thats fairly mild but has a some good creamy, sweetish flavors.  They have a bunch of other blends, some better than others.  The Special Forces Original and Special Forces Boot Camp are stronger and pretty good, IMHO.  I've found all the Taboo cigars to be very well made, but some like the flavor profile better than others.  I'd recommend you try a sampler, which are often on sale, to get an introduction.  

As Jackal noted, customer service is excellent.
