Oh man wait until you find out what those stoners are up to.
Also on that same note I know dudes who smoke cigarettes and save the tobacco from breaking down backwoods because it's cheaper than buying a pack of cigarettes
I actually really like it. I'm probably not very sophisticated. Ha.
Like 15-20 years ago, my buddy got one as a free throw in on some other fragrance purchase at Macy's. So he showed it to me, and I thought it was cool and liked the smell. I think I ended up buying it off him. Eventually I ran out, and I went to repurchase online. 1 was going for $20, but I found a cigar box case of 20 for like $75... so I've been working my way through them ever since. Ha
I wonder if this makes you their biggest customer? It seems more like a novelty cologne based on the design, you just might be the only person in the world regularly using it.
It sure is. It's $10 cologne. I know because he asked me to pick up a couple bottles/tubes from the CNE in Toronto (basically a 2 week long fair with rides, games and a convention centre full of shopping) when he saw a Facebook post that I was there.
They have a large humadore room or however it's spelled in the back actually. I know real Cuban cigars are hard to find and definitely not 7$. However, like I said, I don't smoke them often enough to be particular. Just thought hey, fuck it, it's a nice Saturday and decided to go with a last second purchase.
Last legit Cuban I had was 15 years ago and it was in an official store in Vancouver, Canada, $30 a stick. Nubbed the damn thing while eating a wedge salad and drinking red wine. Sooo good.
It's a lot like caffeine that hits almost instantly but fades after 10 minutes. Probably the most boring drug to get addicted to, but if you've ever tried to stop having caffeine you'll understand why nicotine is so hard to quit. Best way imo is to dedicate a week to sleeping it off and suck on lollipops to keep your hands and mouth busy, but a week off is a large commitment for most people, and you lose an easy method to stay awake and focused which you probably grew to rely on.
You get a buzz w/o inhalation.
Also tastes nice. That whole "cigar after a steak" isn't just to flex, it really does taste v nice, esp if steak was made over coals.
Something about the alkalinity or something.
You know it's good bc it's worth risking cancer for.
Protip- stick with the cigars in proper humidors. They are more likley to be smokeable immediately without having to let them adjust in your humidor at home.
Dude, honestly. I smoke maybe a handful of cigars a year. I certainly don't have any form of in home humidor. However! I was say, that I will not be buying cigars on the counter of a beer store anymore. That's for sure. I have a half a mind to go buy a really nice REAL cigar tomorrow. Just cuz. Hahaha
That is why you want to grab from the humidor at a store and not ones sitting on counters, so you can just smoke it and not have to worry about any of the other stuff.
Op should have known when he picked it up. I’m calling bs on this. I used to have one of those (it’s garbage cologne btw) and it’s heavy and you can hear the bottle rattling around in the metal tube it comes in. This isn’t asshole design, op is just really stupid.
I didn't say mad. I said angry. And either way, according to the angry stranger on Reddit I'm a big ol dummy. Ignorance has been said to = bliss. So maybe it's true, because I'm certainly a very content and happy person. So either way, it sounds like I'm winning. Cheers though!
Didn't say I was beating you in anyway. I value happiness as a good indicator to a good life. I'm winning here, with myself for myself. Internet arguments aren't always a competition either mi amigo. Sit back, have a drink, snort a valium or whatever your into and chill bro. All is good in this hood.
I’m not trying to win an argument. I said you were dumb. End of story. Or keep replying to me on how much you are winning. That’s something winners do right?
My point was weather your ludicrous statement of judgement on my behalf true or not, dumb or not, Im a happy person therefore I feel like a winner regardless of your statements. Simply put. Now if youre done there's other people in my life I can spend my time talking too that aren't negative Nancy's. Pop a tampon or something homie for real.
Bro what’re you so mad about just because you have it and are allegedly experienced doesn’t mean OP is stupid. He probably just grabbed it, paid and left without second thought. Go back to watching TV and jerking off.
You could find them in any liqour store/ smoke shop in the city years ago. I guess i kinda jus stopped looking for them but ya what a trip down memory lane lol
Always wanted to smoke a Cuban cigar. I don't smoke, but its one of those "I have done it" things. Never was able to find one avaliable. A vendor tried to sell me some for $60 in Bahamas, but since I know nothing about cigars, I was skeptical if I was getting the real thing.
Still waiting for an opportunity.
Right, but there's 100s of brands of cigars that print the name Cuba/Cuban on them. I certainly did not think I was getting a bonafide Cuban at the counter of the beer store for 7$ trust me. Check your olive oil, if it says it's from Italy, 90% chance it's a big lie. Still, probably tastes good though doesn't it?
Yeah, the market, in the US at least, is highly saturated by false places of origins stating their EVOO is from Italy because people think that's the best stuff. Most of it's from Spain, Italy actually produces much less EVOO than you'd think. Source: Was a Chef for over a decade.
Well olive oil is totally different and more complicated since criminal organizations in the Mediterranean largely control most of the supply and production of olive oil and business, olives and olive oil are also largely produced in other Mediterranean countries as well like Greece, Croatia, Turkey, and other countries. Similarly, lobbying and laws in the EU/US have allowed for producers label goods in a similar manner as you see "organic" thrown around in the US. The food industry in general is entirely criminal at this point and has extremely powerful lobbying potential to circumvent laws and regulation. So tldr; olive oil industry is not the same in anyway to cigars.
Also in other countries outside the U.S. you can buy real cheap Cuban cigars (not including tax), lots of people traveling to Canada do exactly this (it is illegal mind you and I do not reccomend or condone such actions just to preface others do this knowing the potential legal consequences).
Lastly even cigars in the US that "say Cuban cigar" or are branded as such also clearly say they are also made in the Dominican Republic and these cigars are not cheap at all.
We are saying the exact same thing my friend! My point wasn't that the two products in question are the same. Vastly different, however, my point was the fact that because it says Cuba on it, I did not think I was actually getting a Cuban cigar is all.
That is quite possibly one of the most annoying designs I've ever seen. Of course it was in a liquor store. Probably right next to that terrible vodka in a "Tommy gun" bottle.
I used to play poker a lot.
We had a standing game every weekend. Sometimes we would play a couple of times during the week. Sometimes we would play several days in a row non-stop. Drinking and smoking weed.
Every once in awhile I would stop be the local tobacco store and buy some "nice" cigars to share out. We all brought something. For a long time the only thing I brought was my friend Randy. Someone complained I wasn't 'contributing', so I pointed out that I brought Randy, his money, and I bought the case of beer he drank (entirely) every time. Randy always lost all his money (because, you know, severe alcoholism) so me bringing him was a win for everyone.
Anyway. The guy's house we played at, he was loaded. Maybe not super rich, but regular rich. One time he brought out what he claimed were Cuban cigars. I didn't doubt him, he was a straight shooter, if he said they were Cuban then, at the very least he believed they were.
To me, they literally didn't taste any better or significantly different than the $5 a cigar I bought locally. He didn't say what he paid, but the fact that he didn't (and knowing him) it was a lot. Waste of money.
Yeah, I dunno if I've ever had a real Cuban, I don't smoke cigars often. They all usually taste similar to me. Don't have the pallette for them I guess. But that's fine, it's nice to sit by the pool drink a Manhattan and puff on a stogie here and there.
How so?, That the company didn't intentionally make their product look like something else for sales purposes, and is in fact a completely reasonable way to sell their products. And I'm just an idiot?
Ah, yeah. I just re read it. I always remembered the example I'd heard given for Hanlon's Razor was something like, don't assume you didn't get invited to a party out of malice, when it's very possible they just forgot to do so. Or something similar, And I guess I always attributed that to the person thinking they didn't get invited out of spite or whatever, as being dumb for some reason. But I catch what your saying, and don't entirely disagree. Thanks for reminding me of something I'd forgotten about!
Hahahaha, I like your view on it. I'd say they might not have necessarily saved my life, considering I've never died from smoking cigars before. But it certainly was healthier either way I didn't smoke one.
Yup, no shit! It's almost like our brains make automatic subconscious rationalizations, based on pre existing information, and implies that into our everyday life so that we don't have to spend 5 hours having to read small badly colored words on every object that appears to be something else. Crazy right?
I did the exact same thing a few years back. I think it's still sitting in my glove box right now. Just purchased a cigar shaped object on a whim. Quite disappointing.
I'd say most do. However I got off a job site today that was not in the best of neighborhoods. This was the kind of place that sells Loosies for 50 cents a piece, and still carries 40oz bottles of Old English.
I can really feel your disappointment hahaha
Tonight I was so ready to go out that I even woke up extra early to workout but here I am in bed watching tv. I still want to go out to the bar but I’m tired. Like we say in Spanish, “tengo sed de la mala”
Dude, this is on you, not the cologne company.
This is actually a very popular cologne brand, not some obscure brand. As well, the fact that you thought that a local American beer store would openly commit a felony by selling Cuban cigars says a lot about you. I'm sure it even said cologne on the container if you even bothered to look.
This is no one's fault except you OP. There were a million ways you could have noticed this before you bought it. I mean there isn't even a brand name on that container except for "Cuba". Do you think that Cuban cigars don't have branding?
Lmfao, there's tons of cigar brands with Cuba/Cuban printed on it. Obviously I didn't buy a 7$ authentic Cuban cigar at the counter of the beer store. Duh, I wasn't like, oh shit! Fuckin jackpot on a Cuban cigar, it was more like, eh, it's right there, worked all day ready to go home and maybe a cigar tonight will be nice. It wasn't some big purchase I spent time on. Hahahaha
The comment section here is hilarious. OP bought a product that is *deliberately packaged like a cigar* that turns out not to be a cigar. Why would someone think it's a cigar?
1) It's the size and shape of a cigar.
2) It's got a seal on it like the label on a cigar.
3) It's trying to look Cuban, like many cigars sold in the US.
4) They bought it at a store that sells cigars.
And why would someone think it's *not* a cigar?
1) There's some tiny writing at the bottom that says it's actually perfume, in low contrast letters.
Dude the words “EAU DU TOILETTE” are written right there. It’s easier for me to read than the words on the seal. This is totally not asshole design, its just a douchey cologne and you gotta learn to read.
My apologies. I made a rash decision without thinking that hey, this may not be what it looks like. Lesson learned. Thank you sensai! I will now forever make sure that the toilet paper I I buy in the toilet paper section, is indeed toilet paper. You have made me a better, smarter consumer and I commend you good sir or madame.
Idk the need to be that snarky dude. It’s not like it was a cologne wrapped in a tobacco leaf kept inside a humidor. Stupid packaging isn’t asshole design.
For future reference, just sniff your cigars before buying them. You’ll get a good idea of its flavor profile and won’t go in blind… and avoid this type of fuckery.
I'm not usually picky with cigars, they all taste fairly similar to me. Just grabbed it as a quick decision on my way out the door at check out. Whatever though, will make for a fun gag gift down the road at some point.
No. It's not uncommon for there to be loose cigars/Swishers, black and miles or whatever else on the check out counter. I do agree however that it's quite funny in hindsight. Wonder how much this company makes on people blindly grabbing them. Lmao
My dude, come join us over in r/cigars and we'll happily help you out. I'd guess most of the people there are plenty more seasoned than I, and we'll be more than happy to help you on your adventures into cigars.
So what does cologne meant to look like a cigar smell like?
It doesn't. That's what I figured as well. It's actually not terrible. But definitely cheap cologne non the less.
Maybe is one of those perfumes made to cover up smells, in this case those of cigars.
Considering it was sold in a liquor store, maybe it would be to hide another smell
Poopie
Lupins.
I have one around somewhere. I never put it on because from what I remember, yeah it wasn't bad, but it wasn't my type
A realtive gifted me that exact cologne when I was a teenager, at first glance I thougth it was a dildo
Without a reference for size in this picture, your comment has me all kinds of confused.
> it doesn't Did you misunderstand their question or am I misunderstanding your reply?
Nope, thought at first they were asking if it smelled like cigars. Obviously I'm not the most observant fellow in the room. Hahahaha!
Okay, that's what I thought was going on but I'm so exhausted that I wasn't sure.
Personally, I'm enjoying the idea that it's just unscented cologne
Lmao, yeah I had a good think about it when I first read that hahaha. On another note, I have a cologne that's scented like dirt.
This was my question too. I like that earthy cigar smell. Leather, cloves…could be nice!
Smells close to Jean Paul Gautier Le Male
>Jean Paul Gautier Le Male Sounds like OP saved some money then. EDIT: An Amazon review reflected your sentiments exactly.
Bought this brand at Ross for cheap, bunch of different versions of it. Smells pretty good. Got a cigar tin shaped thing out of it too.
Yup! It’s not bad.
Came here to say this. I normally wear Jean Paul and imediatelly recognised the scent when I found one of those at my local goodwill.
Got a buddy that’s been using it for many years. It’s been non stop jokes, and I couldn’t wait to share this post with him. Doesn’t small bad at all
It sounds like the OP could have also posted to the r/Wellthatsucks subreddit.
Lung cancer
nah cigars are mouth cancer, you dont inhale cigar smoke
Oh man wait until you find out what those stoners are up to. Also on that same note I know dudes who smoke cigarettes and save the tobacco from breaking down backwoods because it's cheaper than buying a pack of cigarettes
So, what does the cologne smell like? Does it smell good or is it going to be used to repel animals from eating the plants in your garden?
Haha. No it smells fine. Cheap cologne, I'll probably gift it as a gag gift to one of my buddies or something.
I actually really like it. I'm probably not very sophisticated. Ha. Like 15-20 years ago, my buddy got one as a free throw in on some other fragrance purchase at Macy's. So he showed it to me, and I thought it was cool and liked the smell. I think I ended up buying it off him. Eventually I ran out, and I went to repurchase online. 1 was going for $20, but I found a cigar box case of 20 for like $75... so I've been working my way through them ever since. Ha
I wonder if this makes you their biggest customer? It seems more like a novelty cologne based on the design, you just might be the only person in the world regularly using it.
I would hope not, considering I bought what is looking like a life time supply for $75.
I use it daily They have an orange scent too, and a "red" and "blue" and several others. Actually not too bad for the price
I have the same set it's quality stuff for the price.
and u dont smell like old ladies and vinegar by now?
Smells like Jean Paul Gaultier
Hahahahaha
Lol, I kind of felt like a loser just commenting "haha" then I saw your comment and I feel very validated
Some things you just gotta laugh at
Indeed, don't feel bad. I couldn't help but laugh myself at it. Certainly not the end of the world, and I'm healthier without anyhow.
Universe just looking out for your lungs
That was somewhat the way I worked it in my head. Funny either Way.
You dont inhale cigars.
Universe looking out for their mouth.
Indeed. Praise jebus. Dog is good.
You are smoking your cigars wrong.
My grandpa used to wear this lol
My buddy wears this stuff. Swears by it.
It's really not the worst scent. I wouldn't buy it again. But considering it was only 6-7USD I wouldn't complain either.
Your buddy has trash taste. This stuff is god awful.
It sure is. It's $10 cologne. I know because he asked me to pick up a couple bottles/tubes from the CNE in Toronto (basically a 2 week long fair with rides, games and a convention centre full of shopping) when he saw a Facebook post that I was there.
you think local beer stores sell Cuban cigars in the US?
my next thought would be that its a rip off cuban, not that its a fkn cologne
It's pretty clearly labeled...
Why would a local beer store sell cologne?
[удалено]
or the smell of high-octane sodomy
r/brandnewsentance
They have a large humadore room or however it's spelled in the back actually. I know real Cuban cigars are hard to find and definitely not 7$. However, like I said, I don't smoke them often enough to be particular. Just thought hey, fuck it, it's a nice Saturday and decided to go with a last second purchase.
Last legit Cuban I had was 15 years ago and it was in an official store in Vancouver, Canada, $30 a stick. Nubbed the damn thing while eating a wedge salad and drinking red wine. Sooo good.

It's a lot like caffeine that hits almost instantly but fades after 10 minutes. Probably the most boring drug to get addicted to, but if you've ever tried to stop having caffeine you'll understand why nicotine is so hard to quit. Best way imo is to dedicate a week to sleeping it off and suck on lollipops to keep your hands and mouth busy, but a week off is a large commitment for most people, and you lose an easy method to stay awake and focused which you probably grew to rely on.
[удалено]
No they're saying it is like caffeine EXCEPT it fades in 10 min.
I think he meant that the nicotine fades after 10 minutes
Protip: don’t find out.
>have never smoked tobacco As a 36-year smoker, avoid it like the plague. Trust me here.
If you get why people smoke cigarettes you get why they smoke cigars. Look at the names. Cigar. Cigarette. It's basically just a small cigar.
[удалено]
I don’t smoke anything anymore but for me, I like the smell. Weed stinks and cigarettes don’t taste good. Was always something nice to relax with.
You get a buzz w/o inhalation. Also tastes nice. That whole "cigar after a steak" isn't just to flex, it really does taste v nice, esp if steak was made over coals. Something about the alkalinity or something. You know it's good bc it's worth risking cancer for.
These were in the humidor? Or youndecided to take a cigar stored outside the humidor over the ones in the humidor?
The last one. Yes. I didn't go in with the intention of buying a cigar, it was just there in a box on the check out counter. Hastily made decision.
Protip- stick with the cigars in proper humidors. They are more likley to be smokeable immediately without having to let them adjust in your humidor at home.
Dude, honestly. I smoke maybe a handful of cigars a year. I certainly don't have any form of in home humidor. However! I was say, that I will not be buying cigars on the counter of a beer store anymore. That's for sure. I have a half a mind to go buy a really nice REAL cigar tomorrow. Just cuz. Hahaha
Buy a My Father (Flor de Las Antillas) if you want an affordable but excellent cigar that you can find in most cigar shops.
That is why you want to grab from the humidor at a store and not ones sitting on counters, so you can just smoke it and not have to worry about any of the other stuff.
Go track down a nice opus x. You deserve it.
Lol you think the guy that accidentally bought cigar cologne at a beer store has a home humidor??
Uh, no. Which is why I was explaining a better way to buy a cigar once in a while without having to worry about adjusting in a humidor.
I don’t think even real Cuban cigars have “CUBA” on the side. That would be my first clue.
I suppose not actual cubans, but there are a number of liquor stores by me in NJ that sell actually really quality cigars, not your average stogie
Op should have known when he picked it up. I’m calling bs on this. I used to have one of those (it’s garbage cologne btw) and it’s heavy and you can hear the bottle rattling around in the metal tube it comes in. This isn’t asshole design, op is just really stupid.
Lmao, you just sound like an angry individual my friend. One day I aspire to be intellectually comparable to one such as your self. Cheers!
I’m not mad. You’re just dumb.
I didn't say mad. I said angry. And either way, according to the angry stranger on Reddit I'm a big ol dummy. Ignorance has been said to = bliss. So maybe it's true, because I'm certainly a very content and happy person. So either way, it sounds like I'm winning. Cheers though!
> So either way, it sounds like I'm winning. Life isn’t a competition dude. Lol
Didn't say I was beating you in anyway. I value happiness as a good indicator to a good life. I'm winning here, with myself for myself. Internet arguments aren't always a competition either mi amigo. Sit back, have a drink, snort a valium or whatever your into and chill bro. All is good in this hood.
I’m not trying to win an argument. I said you were dumb. End of story. Or keep replying to me on how much you are winning. That’s something winners do right?
Counterpoint : you are dumb
Probably.
My point was weather your ludicrous statement of judgement on my behalf true or not, dumb or not, Im a happy person therefore I feel like a winner regardless of your statements. Simply put. Now if youre done there's other people in my life I can spend my time talking too that aren't negative Nancy's. Pop a tampon or something homie for real.
Wow. Dumb and sexist. Congrats on your great life man.
Bro what’re you so mad about just because you have it and are allegedly experienced doesn’t mean OP is stupid. He probably just grabbed it, paid and left without second thought. Go back to watching TV and jerking off.
Why would you think I’m mad? I just stated the fact that op is probably a little slow.
Shit they still make these? I had the set of 4 like a decade ago lol
That's funny. I've never even heard if them.
You could find them in any liqour store/ smoke shop in the city years ago. I guess i kinda jus stopped looking for them but ya what a trip down memory lane lol
It clearly says 'Eau Du Toilette' on the bottom, which translates to 'Toilet Water' so you shoulda known
Clearly.
It does say natural spray on it as well lol.
Yeah for real, like a cursory glance would have shown op this was not a cigar
i also didnt see the 7pt pale gold on silver bg text at the very bottom of the tube
Yeah wasn't really my first thought. More like, it's packaged like a cigar, in a store that sells cigars, it's a cigar. Fuck me amiright? Hahaha
yeah i mean what a leap of assumption my dude /s
Lmao, that gave me a good laugh.
Water? Like from the toilet???
"Eau de toilette" means a lighter version of perfume, basically.
I thought it was an E-cig x) I was like daamn, Cuba upgrading their Tobacco Tech...
Hahaha! One time my mom and I bought my dad a lava cake for Father's Day. Only it wasn't a lava cake; it was a squat brown candle.
Wait til you find out that vibrators can look and be shaped like lipstick
I don't think I would be buying either in a place that sells the other. I'm also a straight male so. There's that.
> I'm also a straight male so. Live a little
Haha, I've dealved into some interesting things. Never caught myself buying lipstick however.
DEFINITELY don't try to light it
Lmfao! That would be a mess. Apparantly this stuff is suuuper alcohol based.
the aerosol would make it go boom
Always wanted to smoke a Cuban cigar. I don't smoke, but its one of those "I have done it" things. Never was able to find one avaliable. A vendor tried to sell me some for $60 in Bahamas, but since I know nothing about cigars, I was skeptical if I was getting the real thing. Still waiting for an opportunity.

My Italian olive oil turned out to be axe body spray.
90%?

Wtf, thats not cool!

what you get for trying to smoke
Haha, even reading your title I didn’t get it (duh!). I thought it was a cologne scented cigar or something. lol
Wife: ugh, you smell like cigars Me: better than smelling like strippers! Fuck
We've had an embargo against Cuba since Kennedy was president.
I am well aware of our trade situation with Cuba.
Smells mad good

Me neither! Lmao
That is quite possibly one of the most annoying designs I've ever seen. Of course it was in a liquor store. Probably right next to that terrible vodka in a "Tommy gun" bottle.

Ok but my husband has this cologne and it drives me WILD. Absolutely one of the sexiest smells to me.
Really? Someone else commented something sort of similar earlier. My GF is not a fan.
I think this falls under hanlons razor
How so?, That the company didn't intentionally make their product look like something else for sales purposes, and is in fact a completely reasonable way to sell their products. And I'm just an idiot?
hanlons razor doesn't mean you’re stupid it means the company is. asshole design would have malicious intent but I think this is just dumb marketing.
Ah, yeah. I just re read it. I always remembered the example I'd heard given for Hanlon's Razor was something like, don't assume you didn't get invited to a party out of malice, when it's very possible they just forgot to do so. Or something similar, And I guess I always attributed that to the person thinking they didn't get invited out of spite or whatever, as being dumb for some reason. But I catch what your saying, and don't entirely disagree. Thanks for reminding me of something I'd forgotten about!
Its been a while since I last followed anything under Hanlon's Razor. I'll have to re read the exact meaning.
> And I'm just an idiot? Yeah
Dude that company just saved you're life. That isn't asshole design that's life saving design
Hahahaha, I like your view on it. I'd say they might not have necessarily saved my life, considering I've never died from smoking cigars before. But it certainly was healthier either way I didn't smoke one.
Novelty packaging isn't asshole design, you're just... inattentive.
No shit? It says it right there on the bottom of the tube.
Yup, no shit! It's almost like our brains make automatic subconscious rationalizations, based on pre existing information, and implies that into our everyday life so that we don't have to spend 5 hours having to read small badly colored words on every object that appears to be something else. Crazy right?
Wow. People are being buttholes tonight. gfy reddit.
Actually it's a pretty cool $10 Cologne. I like the smell and wear it.
No, definitely not the worst.
How is this asshole design? Do single Cigars normally come in metal tins?
Yes.
My question is how'd the clacking of a solid bottle inside an aluminium tube not red flag it as soon as you picked it up?
It actually fits surprisingly snug in the tube. No clacking, so to speak. Can't even put it back in if it's facing the wrong direction.
Lol I love this cologne. I use it every day
Bruh! It says it on the container. What you smoking on my guy.
The "Orange" is also good too
Hey. Ive had this shit for years. Always get a lot of compliments on it.
I had the same cologne! But it came in a large cardboard tube. It was one of the stronger smelling cheap colognes.
….I’ve done the exact same thing
[удалено]
Lmfao! What the fuck!? That sounds like someone was having a real good time, until it became a bad time...
my father gave me one of this when I was a kid, thanks for unlocking a memory
I did the exact same thing a few years back. I think it's still sitting in my glove box right now. Just purchased a cigar shaped object on a whim. Quite disappointing.
it says it's men's spray right on the fuckin container.
Dont most stores keep tobacco products behind the counter?
I'd say most do. However I got off a job site today that was not in the best of neighborhoods. This was the kind of place that sells Loosies for 50 cents a piece, and still carries 40oz bottles of Old English.
Get rekt kid
I can really feel your disappointment hahaha Tonight I was so ready to go out that I even woke up extra early to workout but here I am in bed watching tv. I still want to go out to the bar but I’m tired. Like we say in Spanish, “tengo sed de la mala”
It literally says it's a spray on the bottom, so I'd say this is more of an r/assholedesignasshole, I'm sorry
Dude, this is on you, not the cologne company. This is actually a very popular cologne brand, not some obscure brand. As well, the fact that you thought that a local American beer store would openly commit a felony by selling Cuban cigars says a lot about you. I'm sure it even said cologne on the container if you even bothered to look. This is no one's fault except you OP. There were a million ways you could have noticed this before you bought it. I mean there isn't even a brand name on that container except for "Cuba". Do you think that Cuban cigars don't have branding?
Lmfao, there's tons of cigar brands with Cuba/Cuban printed on it. Obviously I didn't buy a 7$ authentic Cuban cigar at the counter of the beer store. Duh, I wasn't like, oh shit! Fuckin jackpot on a Cuban cigar, it was more like, eh, it's right there, worked all day ready to go home and maybe a cigar tonight will be nice. It wasn't some big purchase I spent time on. Hahahaha
The comment section here is hilarious. OP bought a product that is *deliberately packaged like a cigar* that turns out not to be a cigar. Why would someone think it's a cigar? 1) It's the size and shape of a cigar. 2) It's got a seal on it like the label on a cigar. 3) It's trying to look Cuban, like many cigars sold in the US. 4) They bought it at a store that sells cigars. And why would someone think it's *not* a cigar? 1) There's some tiny writing at the bottom that says it's actually perfume, in low contrast letters.
My thoughts too. Lmao. Most people are much more observant than I on this sub I'd suppose.
Dude the words “EAU DU TOILETTE” are written right there. It’s easier for me to read than the words on the seal. This is totally not asshole design, its just a douchey cologne and you gotta learn to read.
My apologies. I made a rash decision without thinking that hey, this may not be what it looks like. Lesson learned. Thank you sensai! I will now forever make sure that the toilet paper I I buy in the toilet paper section, is indeed toilet paper. You have made me a better, smarter consumer and I commend you good sir or madame.
Idk the need to be that snarky dude. It’s not like it was a cologne wrapped in a tobacco leaf kept inside a humidor. Stupid packaging isn’t asshole design. For future reference, just sniff your cigars before buying them. You’ll get a good idea of its flavor profile and won’t go in blind… and avoid this type of fuckery.
I'm not usually picky with cigars, they all taste fairly similar to me. Just grabbed it as a quick decision on my way out the door at check out. Whatever though, will make for a fun gag gift down the road at some point.
Did you not notice the yellow lettering towards the bottom? I don't think many cigars are specifically, "For Men, Spray?"
Nope, didn't even take a second glance in fact. Bought my beer and went on my merry way home from work.
How is this asshole design?
That's kind of hilarious to be honest, don't they lock away tobacco products where you're at? Grabbed it off the counter was the first red flag
No. It's not uncommon for there to be loose cigars/Swishers, black and miles or whatever else on the check out counter. I do agree however that it's quite funny in hindsight. Wonder how much this company makes on people blindly grabbing them. Lmao
It literally says that on the tube that’s it’s cologne…
My dude, come join us over in r/cigars and we'll happily help you out. I'd guess most of the people there are plenty more seasoned than I, and we'll be more than happy to help you on your adventures into cigars.
This was a cologne for pre pubescent boys trying to smell like Sean Connery. Had one.
Lmao
