I ordered mine on 12/2. Haven't been billed for them and was just curious.

Also, ordered a free Torano from forever ago that I never received, but I did get the Montecristo from Atladis at end of November (should have posted that earlier).

I received the Torano, but I heard they ran out. Romeo y Julieta Reserva sampler has never show but the site said 6-8 weeks for delivery.

I recieved my R&J last week. It took about 8 weeks after placing my order.

I haven't received the Romeo y Julieta or the Montecristo. Ordered both in mid December. I'm hopeful but getting discouraged.

Where'd you order from? I've never waited for more than 4 days!

Thanks All -- guess I'll just have to have patience. With my luck,they'll end up on my doorstep when I'm out of town.

Seabreeze: what condition were those 8-week sticks in when you got em?

I ordered the R y Js in november, still no word.

Just got my RyJ sample of 4 today. I ordered
back in November. Still havent got my montie
white or my Torano yet. I am going to give them
a few months rest before I try them out

I ordered both the Romeo/Julieta and the Montecristo at early December. Received Montecristo before holidays. No word on Romeo y Julieta. Two more weeks before I give up on them.

I received all of my cigars. R&J were by far the slowest in shipping (they were shipped from some place in North Carolina).

Mine came in today! 01/18/2007. Funny thing is it took this thread to help me figure out why the heck this sticks showed up in mail. I just had no memory of ordering this, and the box didn't include any hint as to the details of the transaction. It did have a return label, but no real info there.

Wonders never cease. I finally received my RyJ today. Ordered early to mid December and I had pretty well given up on them. So it was a nice surprise. But still haven't gotten the Montecristo.

I got the Montecristo right after I ordered it, less than 2 weeks. I had given up on the R y J and forgot about em, but I just gone them in the mail today. Still waiting on the Torano.
BTW, the R y J seemed really soft when I got them. Anybody else notice that?

I received the Quintero and Maria Guerroro samples today.

I got my Quinteros fairly shortly after ordering (about 2 weeks). The Monte was right after that. The RyJ's were about 8 weeks out and the Torano is still waiting arrival in my humi.

Over the last couple of years I've had pretty good success with all of these samplers that have been offered.

I don't think I'm stating anything but the obvious, but signing up for these type of deals seems to be nothing more than a hit and miss exercise.

Some of the times my cigars arrive within days, sometimes within weeks, months, or not at all.......go figure.

I guess it depends on the timing of when we sign up.

If they're in stock we get them sooner or later. If they're out of stock we're out of luck.

I may be in error on this theory, but I can't think of any other reason why guys get their smokes quickly, why some get them after a long period of time, or why some guys don't get them at all.

Got it all. Monte White, Platinums, R&J's and the Quinteros. Thanks guys...

Why don't you guys just pay for cigars, and stop crying about the length of time it takes you to get your free ones.

They did pay for the sampler packs that were offered. Read the posts before showing your ignorance on the subject.

They paid, like, 50 cents on the dollar, if that. Even for typiclly inferior Altadis cigars, that ain't bad.
