Ignorance IS bliss.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh Cigar Jesus just wept
Maybe it's not that bad. Maybe he doesn't own a phone. Or have an e-mail address. Or a front door.
No, no Kev....that was the PAM's you heard.Quote:

Did you buy that shit from Thompson AFTER you joined here? If so, "search is your friend" if you really want to learn anything. Personally, IMHO I think you think you know everything about cigars and a myriad of other subjects so why are you here?Quote:

What Doc said. Debt collectors have nothing on a Thompsons sales agent.
And, I'm not a big fan of the VS line of cigars.
But you didn't do anything wrong per the forum rules or anything...not quite sure why you thought you did.
Yeah, the spam and now phone calls are a real drag.
I ordered it on 4-26 so 2 days before I joined, I usually use cigars international or Holts as they are both about an hour driving distance if there is a problem or I can't get something at my local cigar shop. But 12 cigars, small extra humidor, torch lighter and extra cutter for $20 I wasn't going to say no... I've spent $20+ on a stick so didn't think there was a big deal.Quote:

But if you guys are saying they are that bad then I'm pretty sure I won't do future business.
I had no idea about the bad rapport they had with the forum sorry.
Going from Holt's to Thompson's is like going from a Mercedes to a Pinto.
Doc
hahah fair enough.Quote:

Annoying, horrible, and shitty are not mixed reviews; they're synonyms.Quote:

But - shame on you for not taking full advantage of the available resource to know that's what they're doing as it was right here the whole time... :smiley2:
...and if you were in the least bit wonding what the "big deal" is? Without being fully in the "know", posting other than a good deal only encourages the "blind" being lead by the "blind" (e.g. unknowingly taking advantage of a "bad" deal). That kind of behavior has a strong potential to adversely affect the reputation of this community. Going forward - know that all of us very much appreciate a heads up on a "good" deal, but please make awfully sure you're posting a "good" deal. :smiley20:
I just found a great deal for $20 :smiley20:

A lot of us have been down that Thompson dead end road.

I don't need everyone jumping on the "bashing" bandwagon even though I deleted the contents of the original post well before they even saw it.
Maybe it's not a reading issue but rather comprehension. The advice ggiese imparted upon you was sound.Quote:

I'm not yet sure if you will fit in well with this forum, but I do know there are plenty of folks that would love for you to post a deal like that at puff.com. Perhaps that community would be more to your liking.

*sigh* Further evidence that familiarizing yourself with the standards of this board isn't high on your list. Sadly, I'll have to say this is no surprise.Quote:

Hard to believe, I know - but there is this impetuous, egocentric attitude amongst some folks that leads to a temporar episode of "foot in mouth" syndrome. Much like the flu, most suffering from the syndrome take their medicine and get over it in a few days.Quote:

In most fatal cases of "foot in mouth" syndrome, there is typically a "dying declaration" that is worthy of preservation.... One can only hope it will be noteworthy!
I hate Thompons with a passion.:smiley21: I can't honestly remember a Victor Sinclair that I ever liked though I could be wrong.
A buddy of mine ordered the same thing and I tried a couple, I couldn't finish either of them they were so bad!
Then why do you keep logging in Turdmonkey?Quote:

Most folks with an open mind and eager to learn (and that should include all of us) just want to share experiences and in the case of this forum improve their enjoyment of cigars.
Perhaps you didn't read the original message. I don't remember it being merely "sharing their experiences;" I remember it sounding more like "unsolicited commercial ads."
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww how fucking touching of a whiny fest you had there corey. If you have sumarized how the board operates by reading 1 post and you making 1 post I would say you need to leave the place and never log back in.If Care Bears and hugs and kisses are what you are looking for then puff.com is where you wanna be . Its wicked awesome with all the free speech and contests and box splits of genuine cuban cigars. There is a couple of great humidor makerss over there too.Quote:
