    Welcome from California.

    It took me 7 weeks to get my first order from Thompson and then I made the biggest mistake of signing up for their club... Thank god I've moved since then and I don't get anymore of their annoying mailers and junk.

    Oh well... as with all mistakes we live and learn

    Welcome from MT. Sorry we missed ya.

    I'm sure you've read elsewhere on the board, but in case you missed it, make sure you store those CAO flavours in tupperware or something away from the rest of your other cigars and humidor.

    Thanks for the warm welcome! I've already filled my first 50 ct humi, filled the 100 ct, and am waiting on a 300 ct humi that's already about half spoken for. I'm definitely slowing down on my purchases now that I've stocked up but cigar bid has been a very dangerous place

    I joined the Thompson club at first but quickly opted out after realizing what horrible prices they have. I didn't get any of their house brands having alreay had a bad experience with them years ago.

    I read about keeping the flavoured cigars sequestered but, after working through the sampler, I don't think I'm going to get them again. They weren't painful or anything but definitely not what I prefer.

    And no, buying anything consumable from craigslist is a bad idea, let alone the legal issues around tobacco sales. The only thing I get off craigslist is wood for my side projects.

    welcome from DC
    The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." -unknown
