| Speaking of luxury, little update on Mayflower. | |
| You know, I did not expect to be making Mayflower a consistent part of the stories of my show. | |
| I expected to read ads for it and sell cigars, but the cigar company has just completely exceeded even my rosiest expectations, which were already very high. | |
| So all thanks to you who have ordered Mayflower cigars. | |
| I'll give you the update. | |
| We launched the cigars with what we had calculated to be four months of supply. | |
| And we didn't just pick that number out of nowhere. | |
| We were working with some of the biggest guys in the cigar industry, and we said, how much do we need for four months of supply? | |
| And they said, this amount. | |
| I said, even if we're being aggressive? | |
| They said, yep, even if you're being aggressive. | |
| We sold it out in 24 hours, which the CEO of our manufacturing partner said was astonishing. | |
| You know, our distribution partner said he'd never seen anything like it. | |
| So then we still had some product that was in Nicaragua. | |
| We said we got to get that product, if it's properly aged, we got to get that product up here to America as quickly as possible so that people who want to get these cigars for Christmas at least will be able to get them. | |
| So we brought that up, it went back live on the site, Instantly, instantly that was sold out. | |
| We said, okay, what can we do here? | |
| Because don't forget, this is a premium luxury product, so you can't rush it. | |
| You know, this is made by hand. | |
| Something like 300 hands touch a cigar from planting to delivery. | |
| This is a seriously handmade product that requires significant aging so that the tobacco is just perfect, the flavor profile is just perfect. | |
| That's especially true of the Dusk Cigar. | |
| But it's true of the Dawn cigar as well. | |
| So, we said, we can't rush that whatsoever. | |
| Do we have anything? | |
| My friends in the cigar industry, who are producing Mayflower, they told me that they were going to make me, just for my own consumption, a special kind of size of cigar that I happen to love. | |
| And they'd made me many, many of these cigars. | |
| And then I get a call yesterday, they say, hey, you're not getting those cigars. | |
| We have to sell them. | |
| We have to sell them because there's so much back order. | |
| And I, of course, agreed. | |
| I said, yes, I'd rather, I would rather the Chaim de la Chaim of the Michael Knowles Show audience be able to get these cigars and have them at Christmas or whenever. | |
| You know, maybe send a few to me, but I totally understand it. | |
| But even that has sold out. | |
| So, the upshot of all of this is, Thank you for making this maybe the biggest cigar launch ever. | |
| And if you would like the cigar, I'm really hoping that we can get you some for Christmas. | |
| We might be backlogged even beyond Christmas now. | |
| If you want your cigars, you've got to go to MayflowerCigars.com. | |
| If there's anything on the site to pre-order, just get it. | |
| Even if it's not exactly the box you want, I would say just get it right now. | |
| Or, at the very least, even if you can't pre-order right now, sign up. | |
| Give us your email. | |
| You will get a notification the moment you can, because these things have been going so fast. | |
| When you get that notification, just get it, because they'll probably be gone within hours. | |
| We expect to ship in early December, so it should still be in plenty of time for Christmas. | |
| Mayflowercigars.com today to get what has Become apparently the must-have gift of the Christmas season. | |
| You must be 21 years old or older to purchase. |
