I get frequent emais from a certain PAGE that cells cigars, but lately I have noticed that the picture they send of the sample of sale items always shows items not in the sale...

For example, here is the one I received a few minutes ago:

https://freeimage.host/i/Hnj40y7

The two items circled in red are nowhere on the sale page. Hell, I don't even know what the one with the red label is... If the sale is good enough, I might try them, but they aren't even included.

Is this deceptive advertising?

EDIT: OK, I found the Caldwell Lost & Found One Night Stand Colorado Robusto (red label cigar), but not the Tuefel Hund.

Padron doesn't have to offer discounts (on most of their lines). That's one of the conditions vendors agree to when they start selling them.

Still deceptive to have your web site offer 15% or 25% off to sign up and then NOT. I say we sue..... I WANT MY DISCOUNT!!!

Every once in awhile, a rogue vendor will offer site wide discounts AND allow major brands like Fuente and Padron to be part of their sale. Depending on what you’re looking for, that’s the time to strike. But, it will probably take patience, diligence and casting a w-i-d-e net before you come across the deal that fits your wants.

Lol, appreciate the guidance!

Honestly, I would only have picked them up if they were a crazy steal...
