Thanks for the review!

Dear sir,

Black band project, Yeah, OK, pretty agressvie marketing, well layed out video, cool actors, a real "Mike Hammer" like series, to prove what ? That you are, yourselves,exactly what you are criticizing? I've been smoking Cuban cigars for over 38 years, not because I don't know better, not because I believe in myths of Cubans, not because I'm a social snob, It's just because they are the best cigars in the world. Until you can prouve

to the 90% of the cigar smokers in the world that they are wrong, Cuban cigars will rule, communist or not, they have always been and will continue to be the best. I have smoked and will keep on smoking other cigars from other cigar countries, I have nothing againist them. I have smoked your brand also, SO, what's so special ??

All this is proof that certain companies want to keep the embargo,WHY ?,Because

now,they are really scared, all those NC big shots who have been in control of the cigar market in the US for the last 48 years. All of their agressive marketing on how Cuban cigars ARE not the best cigars, BUT are always ready with the ,Our cigars are made by cuban rollers, Our cigars come from cuban seeds, Our cigars have that cuban taste & style, Our cigars are Habanos outside of Habana. Then comes their own propaganda, Don't put your money in Castros pocket, Don't support the commies, the Cuban cigar that you're smoking is made by an angry commie, etc .etc, Our cigars are the best in the world, little did the Americans know at the time, that the NC market represented only 10% of the world market and only in the US. They have , for years, misinformed and misguided the uneducated cigar smokers in America.

Now they are really scared of losing control, scared that the American cigar smoker is questioning his

tastes and is not buying all the BS surronding NC's , scared of the growing sales of Cuban cigars through the internet,scared of the end of the embargo and above all, scared that they will have to make real cigars. So,In the coming year or two, be ready to see even more agressivness from their part thru

marketing because,now, they really want to scare YOU into buying their cigars.

All this ,of course, is only my 2 cents worth, but from what I've seen in the last 30 years,coming

and going from Europe to the US. I stand by what I've said . There is no intent to insult anyone in my remarks, It's just that I'm sick of all these false info and misinformation that the cigar smoker in the states is recieveing. The videos are quit amusing but behind all that there is a true message of fear on their part. thank you for reading me out.
