LMAO@#39! See? You even got the mooch laughing.

Frank, lighten up, baby. Please reread the thread. You have people here who LOVE your product & others who want to try it again after hearing the positive feedback.

Hell, even Geri (MrsDelta) confided in me that she actually enjoyed one (sorry Geri). Of course, it was aged for 10 years! LOL!!!!

Now don't make me turn Padron, pull out my Inmenso, & go Toraño you!

I must point out that even Frank, the PI rep described his new cigars as "chit". That's a glowing review if I ever heard one.

If you like them, then smoke them. At least you don't have to worry about me driving up the bids in them.

I had one of those Miami rolled PI's ... and it was quite good... and the big Cuba Aliados are one of my favorite golf gars on the morning front nine.

Hey Frank,

You can see by my earlier comment, I have enjoyed PI's in the past. But let me be frank, pun intended, your whining on an internet forum might stop me from buying new product. Not real professional.

So PI bashers can whine but a guy with a vested interest in the company can't defend it? Yeah right. That's real interesting.

Smoke what you like and like what you smoke. Express your opinion but don't be surprised if someone with an opposing opinion expresses theirs. We already have a Reyes Family Forum and as a moderator, I can tell you we don't screen posts or block negative comments.

Oh and anyone who has not yet tried one of the new Reyes Family Cigar lines and wants too, email me your address at deriffe at yahoo dot com and I will make sure you get one.

"PI bashers can whine but a guy with a vested interest in the company can't defend it?"

Don't recall anyone saying he couldn't defend his cigars. But we can bust his balls for doing so and he can bust back if he likes.

In other words the "ocd haters" and the paid PI shills can express whatever they like and that is what makes this forum interesting and useful.

And.... the exchange which happens periodically probably moves some product.

To each their own. I think the cigars are **** and have no desire to try another even for free. But I do hope they sell billions of them directly attributable to Frank's marketing efforts and Frank and the entire Reyes family have nothing but the best of luck, a great Christmas and a wildly successful new year.

Ya don't have to like the cigars to understand someones role and wish them well.

^ (standing ovation)

I apply the same to Nick Perdomo.

Some of you may know that Perdomo is my least favorite line. As a matter of fact the cigars are my bench mark for all things awful. It complicates things that the family name is on the cigars because.....

I like nick as a person (from what I know of his interaction in here and feedback from others who have dealt with him directly). I am happy for his success in business, politics and of course any personal or family endeavors he partakes in. He strikes me as one of the good guys.

I hope nothing but the best for him and would smoke with him any day (if he would with me..... I recognize I have been pretty rough)..... but if Nick and I ever herfed..... I'll bring the cigars LOL

lol


they are awful.... but Nick is cool

Yes, of course. Anything you say, Exalted Leader's junior assistant.
(said in monotone w/glassy eyes)

NOBODY is that good a guy. reputations seem to grow. personally, i would love to herf wiht Nick...and i would smoke whatever he brought. i really like about half of his stock...maybe more.

Thank you, Burgie. Guess that's what I was TRYING to say in my ham-handed, bull in a china store sort of way.


(nervously looking around as Al Argenti helps me unpack my things) LOL

I love Perdomos, and dislike puros Indios....

I know Nick is a good guy, and I assume the Reyes folks are good guys as well...

Hell I do not like Drew Estates cigars, but Johnathan Drew seems like a great guy as well.

It is all a matter of tastes.

Charlie

My tastes have changed drastically since I started smoking. I liked milder cigars with less flavor when I started, now I stay clear from those. Really liked maduros when I started. Now, not as much, except for a few.

I used to like PIs when I started, Of the ones that I tried in the past, none of those I'd be willing to smoke anymore.

But I give a rat's ass what someone else thinks of them. And I definitely don't judge someone by what they smoke.

The unfortunate thing is that you'll find cigar/liquor/car snobs on these boards just as you will anywhere else.

I think that based on most of the bro's feedback, the current blend of Indios is worth a shot. I will certainly try them (again).

Suck up^

Guilty as charged, ya cruel bastid. ) :

Not snobs, Elitest is the proper term...

Charlie

I was on a motorcycle once that kept sputtering (ok I fess up it was a moped)..... and I grabbed the spark plug connection to see if that was the issue. The neighbors saw my skeleton...... I picked myself up off the ground and did it again..... haven't done it since.

I have no intention on trying another PI..... blech... dog turds..... worse than a Perdomo

^ You're just being contrarian.
