Man, yourve been reading some of my threads over the last month. LOL

Now that wouldve been a definate WOW.
I have been bombing and smoking and contesting a lot of cigars and I am down several hundred at this point, and I have a new 25-50 count humi also.

So for now I have lots of room, and will be stocking them slowly with what I enjoy. I think about ten of the humidors will be each made into a monogonous type and brand of cigar. Like 75 onyx black cigars in one 50 count and so on. About five are that way now, and I think I like it. I will keep one 150 count for various singles and five packs to try. This is the way I am going to roll.

But the tower would definatly have wowed me. LOL

Some illustrative photos. Cigar(Gary) notice the half and half one, you will recognize the cigars from both half. LOL

Jerry

Any yes Gary, those are Maduros on the left. Churchills, and a few belis. I wonder where some of them are going to end? HMMMMMMM? LOL

LOL, does CI hire people who smoke cigars (This is a advantage of a B&M). What a joke to say that. Any time a cigar is hand rolled you can have draw issues on a few in a box.

Its funny you said this. When I go to JR in Paramus New Jersey, 90 percent of the clerks have never smoked a cigar(a few of them are female).

Its sort of like stocking a stereo department with someone who does not listen to music. (not a great example-but you know what I mean)

Much regards Jerry

More like having vegetarians working a deli

When somebody tells me they are going to be "WOW'D" I pretty much have an expectation to be impressed and sending out the same basic humidor is not a "WOW" where I come from in the business world. That is called doing "business as usual" and I was personally insulted because I was told in this thread that this was going to WOW him. I am WOW'D but not in a positive way,,,,this could have been handled in such a better way but now I know after 3 times what to expect from CI Representatives,,,,,compromise instead of Customer Service.

I'm WOW'd at this comment! Truly. I did send him the same humidor. Reason? This is the one his wife won for him and I thought it might mean something to him. What I was hoping would WOW him was the 15 RP Vintage 90 Churchills that he smokes. I thought $120 in his favorite smokes would do the trick.

Wow...you guys are tough! I'm really sorry that wasn't enough.

When you go there, look me up, I work down the road.

Not for nothing guys, $120 in free sticks for a broken humidor is more than generous. You wanted a ****ing cabinet to replace the free one your wife won you? I think that is exhibiting greed at it's finest. Nice job Trish, I'd be thankful if this was done for me.

I don't think Jerry ever stated that he wanted or expected a cabinet. I brought up the cabinet. I also did not know about the sticks that were sent. That was a nice gesture by Trish.

Maybe it's time to let this thread die. Trish obviously did her best here and as stated if it were me, I would be appreciative. They could've just replaced the humi and nothing else but I feel they went above and beyond especially since Trish didn't even know who Jerry was. CI will retain my business for now and perhaps some others on this board. Enjoy the RP's Jerry.

I gotta agree with Scott on this one...I'd probably take this discussion private from here on out.
