Title: 2017 Camacho Liberty Distribution
Post by: wescat on 06/12/2017 02:14 PM
Hello Geeks.

I just received notification from David at Cigarsatyourprice.com that the 2017 Camacho Liberty's are shipping in 10 days.  :dancing: 

Who wants in ??

For those new to CG, I’ve done this for a few years now. You can check my feedback to gauge how I deal with BOTL as per these thread links:

2016 Distribution: http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=42793.0

2015 Distribution: http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=33824.0

2014 Distribution: http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=29132.0

2013 Distribution: http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=19418.0

2012 Distribution: http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=14622.0

2011 Distribution: http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=9774.0

Dav1doff/Cama(ho did a $2/cigar price increase this year; our price will be $14.50 each: that is a good price on this cigar IMO. And yes, if you buy a full box of 20 cigars, you do get the chest.

Distribution will be the same as last year: orders, payment and shipping will be done directly. CAYP's standard shipping rates shall apply: free shipping on orders over $200, $9 shipping on orders under $200.

Detailed ordering instructions will be emailed to all participants when the cigars are on hand at CAYP.

CAYP will again be sponsoring this years Geek Critique of the 2017 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 Geek Critique.


**When responding please use this format, in this thread**

**Yes I’m in, put me down for XX cigars**

**I am/am not interested in being a Geek Critique reviewer**

-----NOTE----> If you are participating, you must PM me your email address, because the ordering instructions will be sent to you via email.


Cigars should be on hand at CAYP in about 2 weeks.

And a big THANK YOU to David and cigarsatyourprice.com/niceashcigars.com/egars.com for getting the Geeks a great deal on these cigars, and for AGAIN sponsoring a Geek Critique of the 2017 Camacho Liberty.

Thank You Geeks, and y’all Enjoy the Tobacco.

The chests are not sold separately. If you buy a full "box" of 20 cigars, they come in the chest. Good question.

True true, ya got me there. Valid point.

I keep a file of email addresses of everyone that has participated in any of the annual Camacho Liberty Distributions. I email out a heads up to the list to stimulate participation: I know that most people live busy lives, and may not check Cigar Geeks daily. Thus, the email might be helpful to them.

I always ask, in the initial thread post, that participants PM me their current email address. I realize that most Geeks list an email address in their user profile, but it can be out of date. My intent is that I want to avoid sending the ordering instructions to an email address that is no longer monitored.

And I cannot know if someone hitting the thread is responding to the email prompt or just saw the thread on the front page.

All of which is just me being careful to admin this thing in a way that keeps the chaos to a minimum.

Good question.

On another note:  :confused:  I was wondering how Camacho was able to get around the August 8, 2016 deadline for new cigars (one of the bullsh*t FDA deeming rules) until I read up what they did for this release, but I am wondering what provisions they have made for future releases........ Will there be a 2018 or is this the end of the line for the Liberty Series? :?:

 What other yearly releases will cease to exist?

Yup, they are 6x54 Toro's this year:   http://halfwheel.com/camacho-liberty-2017-announced

This is the second time they've made a parejo Liberty: 2002 and 2017. This thread has some good pics of the early Liberty's, about half way down the page:  http://www.botl.org/threads/camacho-liberty.33092/

The 2017 coffins are too long to fit in < 2017 chests?

Dammit.

Most years, I buy a box of Liberty's and split them with a local smoking buddy.

I got my box yesterday, opened them today. I always de-coffin and store them naked.

15 out of 20 are cracked. Dammit.

David at NiceAshCigars is sending me replacements. Thank you David! Great customer service, no hassle, just sending them out to take care of business.

These are the ugliest 5. Y'all checked yours?

I like mysteries and surprises - so the one's I ordered will stay "stealth" until I open them for smoking - however, my Critique Stick had a lopsided cap and frazzled cap strains. I just cut off the cap and fired that sucker up. Also sent Kevin a PM to advise of same.
