Sorry but if you don't have a website as a reference point how do you intend to do business or have people get info other than FACEBOOK?  No pictures and not really any information other than you have cigars for sale?

Two other things.

1st a Yahoo address.Google would be a more professional email for a buiness.

2nd      El Jefe is his name.

El Jefe is a Spanish term meaning "the Chief" or "the Boss." "El Jefe" is a less-common nickname for former Cuban President Fidel Castro

ummmm what do you think.Not passing judgment,just a observation

Whats up with all the paranoid comments? hahaha.. We dont have a website yet, but we will have one within the next week. This is the link to our facebook.

Yes, it might not be "extremely professional" but for now, Facebook has been working just fine for us. there are photos of our factory, cigars, workers, and tobacco. We dont scam, we use PAYPAL as a payment option. Thanks

I invited this gentleman here. His Facebook account contains many pictures and lists of sizes. Perhaps we can interest him in a Geek Critique.

Sir, companies often send us 5-8 cigars of the same vitola for us to review here publicly. This provides free publicity and builds trust. We would divide the cigars among established members who volunteer to smoke and review the cigars. We have many old reviews on record you can look at. These reviews are very honest, so you must have confidence in your product to proceed.

What do you say?

Welcome to cigargeeks and to the cigar industry. I'm looking forward to seeing the reviews of your products, and I am sure you are just as excited too see the good words in which people will think of your product. Great to hear you'd be willing to participate in our geek critics too.

Many of us are not on Facebook.  I just went to the link that Larry gave us, but all I can see is the entrance page for Divine Cigars with a man rolling cigars and a few friends.  That's as far as I can get, so I guess I'll have to wait for some of the other Geeks to buy some and rate them before I can find out more about them. :-(

Please send me a Private Message and I can give you all the details to help set up a sponsorship for a Geek Critique. Thanks for the offer.

Don't be too put off by our cautious members. When I first saw this thread I went to your facebok page and viewed all the pictures and the first thing that popped into my mind was "wow, a factory, lots of workers, plenty of rollers, thousands upon thousands cigars in the inventory, and no website but a facebook page instead. It seemed a bit odd to me  :confused: But now that you mention your website will be up in one week I am sure we will all be interested in checking it out  :biggrin:

Good luck with your new venture and I look forward to your private message concerning the Geek Critique.

BLEEP FACEBOOK!  I was talked into setting up an account only to have the account hijacked and then I was getting all kinds of notifications that were very crude and vulgar.  My password kept getting compromised.  I don't know how that happened but it did.  I shut down the account but Facebook gives you a 2 week waiting period to reconsider.  Next I get an email from my Mortgage Company that someone tried to log on 3 times and used the wrong password so they froze it.

Just know this:  Facebook has a dark side and you could get into a financial nightmare because of it.

Social networking isn't worth it.     :hityou:  :banghead:  :hitme:   If there was a big 2 thumbs down emoticon, it would be here.

Should be interesting.

Post by: ROTHNH on 10/20/2010 12:42 PM
I'm thinking legit also -- check out the friends list -- besides Larry, there a few well known folks, including Janny (Don Pepin Garcia's daughter).

But there's a lot of folks who don't use social networking sites (like me LOL).  Divine Cigars, to make a legit go of it, needs that web site up and e-mail using their domaine address.  My 2 cents.

Ditto.  That helps a bit.  I still think that I need to wait until we get some reviews.

Agreed, a nice website would have me feeling more confident in making an order as well. That is coming soon though, which is nice too know, I'm anxious to see what a website for a company called "Divine Cigars" would look like.
