Sign up for the waiting list. Just fill out your info and which shop you would like to purchase from. This is not buying anything. This is just going to help Miami cigars know how to distributes the shipment to different B&Ms.

Do you know what percentage, or at least what percentage of the "profit" they are planning to donate?

Kudos to La Aurora for this.
[Reply]

I think its 12.5% per box. Might not sound like a lot, but it will add up.
Don't forget the tobacco has been aging for 3 years.

I'll be smoking one in a day or two and will let you know about them.

Did anyone else get an email or two about purchasing these today? Got my guard up.
[Reply]

Ya - I did.....There was no way I was gonna email those details. I see that they also setup a ****** - that's safer.
[Reply]

hey guys. I literally just heard about this email that went out two minutes ago. It was legit but I'm like you, I wouldn't email any info like that and I'm glad people didn't for safety. I believe Miami cigars is going to set up a ****** or a phone in process. I'm not that close to this part of the project, but when/if I hear more details I'll post it here.
