I don't think that we are being to harsh.  Putting all of your own cigars up with 5 star reviews one after another with identical verbiage is, in my opinion, disingenuous.  

Asking for us to rate them would have been the right way to go.  I have no problem with vendors and manufacturers.  I am actually very happy when they visit our site, as their insight is often quite interesting and valuable.  I am not, however, happy about a slew of two sets of identical five star reviews that read like someone's advertising copy.

I'm inclined to agree with Jason about the reviews. I can find marketing BS easily. The database of reviews is the most valuable asset CG offers, and and these "reviews" impair it.

I'm willing to give this guy the benefit of the doubt and assume he didn't realize how we work, but I would like those 5-star reviews removed and replaced with legitimate user reviews.

Fun Fact:
Groucho Marx suffered from insomnia, which he claimed was due to a financial loss in the stock market. When he suffered from insomnia, he used to call people up in the middle of the night and insult them. In the 1950s Groucho was invited to take a tour of the New York Stock Exchange. While in the observation booth, he grabbed the public address system handset and began singing "Lydia the Tattooed Lady". Upon hearing silence coming from the trading floor, he walked into view, was given a loud cheer by the traders, and shouted, "Gentlemen, in 1929 I lost eight hundred thousand dollars on this floor, and I intend to get my money's worth!" For fifteen minutes, he sang, danced, told jokes, and all this time, the Wall Street stock ticker was running blank.

I'm sorry i stept away Im watching the Flyers Im a big hockey fan and a very serioius cigar Aficiando.. I think all my cigars kick ash that why I put my logo on my original blend in 1995 they are made with Nicaraguan long fillers are wrapped with a golden brown Nicaraguan wrapper leaf that makes them medium-bodied cigar very rich in flavor and a marvel to all your senses.

John, Booby, I reckon I've smoked my share of legitimate ISOMs.  IMHO, it's more hype than anything.  Are you saying that your cigars are made with pre-embargo tobacco, tobacco grown from Cuban seed, or what?  Stop with the ambiguity.  

And furthermore, who are you calling sophistawhatever?  I'm sitting here barefoot, wearing a wifebeater and I haven't showered today!  I'm even drinking a Natty Light! But there is a DPG Cuban Classic in the ashtray... :biggrin:

Ya know, taking on the Geeks is sorta like getting a root canal done without anesthesia.  It can be done, but you probably won't survive the experience with all your senses intact.  I know I would hate to try.  :biggrin:

Wait 'til Bob gets back from partying with his hillbilly ex-in-laws and finds out that he's been accused of associating with "serious sophisticates" at Cigar Geeks.

It won't be pretty!!!

Possible :spammer: Hope I am wrong!

He is not a spammer. I invited him and cigar makers are allowed to plug their products. I'll admit he got a little carried away. He underestimated our seriousness as a group of sophisticated smokers, that's all. Maybe what he gave us is all he's capable of, copying and pasting the same unoriginal message everywhere. Or he's lazy, busy, or in a big hurry.
[/QUOTE]

Larry - I said "possible spammer, and I hope I am wrong".  So now we know you invited him and he is not a spammer.  However, you and others openly invited him to donate 5-7 identical cigars for a Geeks Critiques, and he has continually refused by instead continuing to tell us all to buy one from his site, or come to Atlantic City.  Really?  I'm on the next flight!  I think its great to have cigar makers plug their products...that's how we can find out about new stuff.  This one just isn't passing the litmus test so far.

But he did finally introduce himself, and he does have a lot of BS, so if he stays around he'll fit in around here just fine... ;-)

Tea Party, Schmea Party. I think Bob should run under the Beer Party.


I heard this on NPR  :shy:
"Remember the MTV campaign to get young people to the polls called "Rock the Vote"? Norris is the honorary chairman of a new NRA ad campaign called 'Trigger the Vote.' "

The Beer Party could sponsor a "Pull The Tab On The Vote" campaign.

We also have something called Geeks Critiques. Cigarmakers donate 5-7 identical cigars and we review them. We have one such review for Cain F on the front page right now. Would you like us to review your cigars? You have to be almost as confident of your cigars as you were when you gave them all 5 stars!

What do you think, John?
