Marketing!

Interesting link, however I think the marketing people have dropped the ball on this one. There are already plenty of smaller, milder cigars in production at the moment.

That cigar in the picture looks really flattened ..... more Villager than RyJ.

I think it's a bit patronising really.

Surely it can't be that bad? The Open Regata reminded me more of a drifting dinghy than the America's Cup.

heh?
just wanted to show that I tweeted it...
(I think I have enough followers already and you have already let me know that you won't follow me cause I tweet in Greek sometimes!)

[daverave999]

The first bit was about the subject-I thought it was patronising that women are being told what to smoke.

I was confused that you had linked to your tweet that linked to the original link.

hehe... yeap... just wanted to show that I tweeted it

me too!

looks like this is going to be a major flop...

I'm a fan of smaller, thinner cigars, so the more cigars they can market for "girls" the better for my preferences.

They should just lower the prices, there is no way some of the cubans cost as much as they do!
