There very mild. I didnt like the one I get a while back to I did a flavor infusing experiment...still havent smoked it

Altadis usually runs several of these offers at one time. I use to google a bit to find the other open offers that are in other magazines. Usually $10 for 3 sticks shipped.I figure even if I don't like them there is always cigars for the troops.

Thanks Rev.

You know, I ordered these 6 weeks ago. Well, about a week ago, I actually got a box from JR's cigars out of North Carolina or something. I opened it up and sure enough...what the....Montecristo?

So I called JR's (even though I ordered online from Altadis or Playboy) and they said the Playboy cigars were on backorder and they do ship out Altadis' orders. I told them that I didn't really want the Montecristo's and should I send them back. They said no, it was their error and that I should keep the 3-pack for free and I'd be on the waitlist for the Playboy's when they come in.

That was nice; I appreciated it. Anybody else not receive them or have received them?

Now that is too damn funny. Did you call JR's?

mkimbler · 12-01-2008, 01:48 PM

I got the same thing as well...3 Montes. I had forgot that I did the Playboy offer and was wondering what the 3 Montes were for. I was goiong to follow up this week.

JR's customer service was helpful so definitely give 'em a ring so that they amend the mistake.

All of those offers say that the cigars may be substituted because of limited stock.

Ooof, I thought maybe by subsituted they would send a Playmate instead...

jledou · 12-01-2008, 02:43 PM

Didn't even think about it last night when I opened it. I will have to give them a call and see what they say.

Hey Guys,

THIS IS NOT THE DON DIEGO Playboy. This is the ALTADIS Playboy which is a completely different smoke. These are a med-full body, kinda earthy and citrus cigar. Not bad but NOT the mild Don Diego Playboy. They retail for $7.95 - $10.95 but they are selling at discounts from $3.95 - $5.49. Give it a shot. If you can't get the deal, PM me.
