00:00:27.260 Speaking of luxury, little update on Mayflower.
00:00:31.540 You know, I did not expect to be making Mayflower a consistent part of the stories of my show.
00:00:38.560 I expected to read ads for it and sell cigars.
00:00:40.760 But the cigar company has just completely exceeded even my rosiest expectations, which were already very high.
00:00:47.080 It's all thanks to you who have ordered Mayflower cigars.
00:00:50.120 I'll give you the update.
00:00:51.160 We launched the cigars with what we had calculated to be four months of supply.
00:00:57.900 And we didn't just pick that number out of nowhere.
00:00:59.620 We were working with some of the biggest guys in the cigar industry.
00:01:01.660 And we said, how much do we need for four months of supply?
00:01:04.280 And they said, this amount.
00:01:05.300 I said, even if we're being aggressive?
00:01:06.380 They said, yep, even if you're being aggressive.
00:01:07.540 We sold it out in 24 hours, which the CEO of our manufacturing partner said was astonishing.
00:01:17.380 You know, our distribution partner said he'd never seen anything like it.
00:01:21.000 So then we still had some product that was in Nicaragua.
00:01:25.640 We said, we got to get that product.
00:01:26.520 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.
00:01:35.860 So we brought that up.
00:01:37.240 It went back live on the site instantly.
00:01:39.700 Instantly, that was sold out.
00:01:40.800 We said, okay, what can we do here?
00:01:42.040 Because don't forget, this is a premium luxury product.
00:01:44.280 So you can't rush it.
00:01:47.080 You know, this is made by hand.
00:01:48.700 Something like 300 hands touch a cigar from planting to delivery.
00:01:52.080 This is a seriously handmade product that requires significant aging so that the tobacco is just perfect.
00:02:00.640 The flavor profile is just perfect.
00:02:02.240 That's especially true of the dusk cigar, but it's true of the dawn cigar as well.
00:02:06.380 So we said, we can't rush that whatsoever.
00:02:08.720 Do we have anything?
00:02:10.400 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,
00:02:19.540 a special kind of size of cigar that I happen to love.
00:02:23.980 And they'd made me many, many of these cigars.
00:02:27.100 And then I get a call yesterday.
00:02:28.520 They say, hey, you're not getting those cigars.
00:02:30.120 We have to sell them.
00:02:31.420 We have to sell them because there's so much back order.
00:02:33.820 And I, of course, agreed.
00:02:34.640 I said, yes, I'd rather, I would rather the of the Michael Nolster audience be able to get these cigars and have them at Christmas or whenever.
00:02:42.280 You know, maybe send a few to me, but I totally understand it.
00:02:44.780 But even that has sold out.
00:02:46.780 So the upshot of all of this is, thank you for making this maybe the biggest cigar launch ever.
00:02:53.700 And if you would like the cigar, I'm really hoping that we can get you some for Christmas.
00:02:59.860 We might be backlogged even beyond Christmas.
00:03:02.000 Now, if you want your cigars, you've got to go to mayflowercigars.com.
00:03:07.860 If there's anything on the site to preorder it, just get it.
00:03:10.360 Even if it's not exactly the box you want, I would say just get it right now.
00:03:15.080 Or at the very least, even if you can't preorder right now, sign up.
