That's odd .. I was just thinking the very same thing a few hours ago.. Did anything good ever come from this " project"

Well, when you sign up you have to watch their 4 episodes where they "blow peoples' minds", or something, then supposedly you get some freebies. I'm on episode three, I'll get an email about ep 4 on Thursday I think....so we'll see where it goes from there.

At the very least, it has given me something to do at work for 15 minutes towards the end of the week.

It is legit. Its a marketing scheme by Camacho Cigars.

I decided to sign up. I guess we'll see what happens.

Where'd you hear this? I would think it would be someone less well known; Drew Estates, or Oliva come to mind. Camacho already has multiple 90+ rated cigars; it wouldn't really benefit them to drag that down.

Appreciate.

Oliva has several 90+ rated cigars too. It makes sense for any maker of quality cigars to try and get people to smoke what they like, not what they're told to like.

A lot of people fall into the trappings of fancy packaging and high CA ratings and let those dictate what they smoke. I haven't had a cigar yet that was good simply because it came in a cool box, or because CA rated it highly, I like the cigars I like because, and this is going to sound redundant, I like them, plain and simple. But I'm a little more open minded than some...some people see flashy advertising, high prices and fancy packaging and figure the cigar must be good, thus keeping companies like Gurkha and Rocky Patel at the top of the food chain...And I'm not saying they make bad cigars, just that I don't think they make the best cigars.

I guess so. Money-wise, though, wouldn't it make sense for more of the big-names (as you mentioned) to keep people hooked on flashy packaging etc? I'm not saying I agree with it, hell, I agree with all of what you said (and I was victimized by it a lot as a younger cigar smoker.)

People on other forums have seen all 4 videos. On the last video they show that they are Camacho.

If you don't believe that, here is further proof: http://puffingcigars.com/cigar-news/black-band-project/1983/ (HINT: Add the red letters together)
