El Presidente Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 So a good mate of mine walks into the humidor while I am upstairs on the phone. Lisa or Smithy attended to him. On the deck I saw him walk out......with a box of Monte Opens. "Steve.....what the "F***" are you doing?".....Did Smithy Stiff you with those" " Rob...no...I ...I actually kind of like them" So there goes it folks. Some people do actually enjoy the Monte Open line
CBL Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 What bottle did you open to celebrate? Quick question, you posted about cigars from 2007 that are still on the shelves are gonna face deletion. Could the Open line be so horrible (sales wise) that in a couple years they could be deleted from the Monty production sheet and hopefully our memories? Or is this a weed that just won't die?

This weed actually sells quite well in the Middle East/China/New Markets. It isn't going anywhere and should the embargo ever open in the US.....It will be the No 1 cigar targetted by marketing.

Plenty of Party 898V to go around.
CBL Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I thought Americans liked their NC strong and heavy. The Monty Opens might be flavorless, but they're mild too.... Actually I talk ****, but I had a reasonable Regatta once during Halloween, but I'd blame that on the alcohol before I'd ever admit to it being half-decent

olotti Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 They are working on the Budweiser Principle Good call Prez. We over here in the U.S of A can't help ourselves, as Microsoft and Apple have proven. Like I said leaves all the good stuff to us who know better. While people fight over Cohibas, Montecristos and Monte Opens well have all the 898's we want. Hey what can I say I love that cigar too.

A lot of the nouveau riche wouldn't know or even care that it is utter crap.

sblevit Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 And if they see the figures, they might even price it higher to make it more elite for them. Of course they should be more expensive since they have two bands . . .
Ken Gargett Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 and doesn't your former good mate feel really good about the fact that his purchase has been ridiculed in this mannewr. and you say i lose you clients! i bet that high talker smithers diddled him.
dicko Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 lol congrats! I must say I don't like what this cigar stands for, but if people want to smoke them because of the "cool" packaging then we can't stop them.
thechenman Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Congrats on the sale...and at a profit too! Hopefully there aren't too many boxes left...
Dbone Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 "Steve.....what the "F***" are you doing?".....Did Smithy Stiff you with those" Ah HA, found it strange when I got PM's from Smithy offering me some killer Monte Opens.
