harwellplant Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 looks good. stupid idea. but still, a 54 ring guage parejo? not for me no matter what it is.
chrisguinther Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Well, they look good in the photos, but I'm not getting very excited about these personally.
brian1 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Me either. A watered down montecristo wow whatever the merits about the EL and the RE I am sorry but I think the whole concept behind this new line is cheesy and just a plain old bad idea. Reading Sucklings review of the launch of this thing makes me embarassed to be a cigar smoker if I am to be lumped in with the brainless wannabees whom HSA think will "aspire" to smoke one of these turds! sorry rant over Well, they look good in the photos, but I'm not getting very excited about these personally.

I'll take a big pass on these....
Tampa1257 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Piss Friggen poor idea to start with, it is a shame that those (FMW's) Friggen Marketing Wizards responsible for this have a job! I hope it falls flat on its face and proves just how bad an idea this truly was!
JMH Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 For those who aren't up to date, what is the idea behind this new line?
stargazer14 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 The idea may not be well received, but we should should wait til we taste a few before we totally kick it in the gutter. Ya never know...
Trevor2118 Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 For those who aren't up to date, what is the idea behind this new line? Beats the hell out of me PS: Originally intended for duty free stores and was to be called "Montecristo Sports". There is a thread somewhere on this site, shows the origional marketing plan Part Details Here: MONTECRISTO SPORT PROPOSALI believe a line extension of this magnitude and change will cannibalize sales from Montecristo rather than create sales. I don't believe Montecristo needs a new "lighter blend". The marketing spiel looks like gobly **** to me. They have cliches coming out of thier arse. 1.- A new line created in order to broaden the range of consumers, to renew and rejuvenate the brand image trying not to have a negative effect on traditional consumers. 2.- Searching for complicity in sports which point out to life styles 3.- Representative launchings with trendy sizes 4.- By creating new communications codes but connected with the tradition. 5.- Providing a milder blend –medium flavoured- in keeping with the features of this line Vitolario Montecristo Mónaco (54 x 150) Montecristo Máster (50 x 124) Montecristo Albatros (46 x 135) Montecristo Swing (38 x 110)

mkz Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Theres something about that green/yellow combination that just makes it look cheap. Not good for the Montecristo brand in my opinion...
sounddust Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Thanks Trevor for the heads up! Yeah, the color combination reminds me of the 80's in a avocado and bananas kind of way.
jwm8592 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I also don't care for the color combination, why change from their base. well I guess if your gonna release a not up to par cigar, why not have a bad color scheme.
BobLobLaw Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Dunno I can see these attracting the casual smoker who has money to burn and wants to be trendy. Then again maybe they will evolve into something better then expected. I can't say I will be buying them anytime soon, but thats because there is just too much other stuff out there I need to try.
SofaKing Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 MMMM.... Monte Sport, sounds like a Deodorant commercial. No thanks and I will pass on these as well Instead pushing out more junk Habanos should focus more on quality versus quantity, but "there is an ass for every chair" and I'm sure some people will fall for these.
sinnyc Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Repeating through my mind is the phrase, "Bad idea!"
