Thread: Thompson Cigar Co.

  1. #1

    Default Thompson Cigar Co.

    Has anyone bought from Thompson Cigars ? How are thay to do business with ? I ordered box of smokes last Thursday. I just checked the status and was told it has not even been processed yet. When I order from CI or Famous Smoke Shop I get a email that day or the next day that my order has been processed and ready to ship.

    Yes I've bought from them. I don't any longer, nor would I recommend them.

    Of all the cigar retailers in the world, Thompson's has the worst reputation of all. Is that an exaggeration? Maybe, but not that much of one. You'll probably wish you asked that question before you placed your order. You are know on their mailing list for perpetuity. I hope you didn't give them your phone number. Oh well.

    Do draft dodgers have reunions? And if so what do they talk about?

    I just ordered a sampler from them. They called me about 8 times asking to sign up for this and that. The cigars came on time and in good condition but they are annoying. Also there are two tan dots on my Cohiba and when I called they said it was plume...I researched and I think its actually just drops of water on the wrapper from when they were rolling it? definitely not plume though so that kind of pissed me off.

    Nope. I only hold TBS to a slightly lower rung.

    I see what you mean about the ph.# thange. About half of an hour after my last post I get a call from them. I can get two free lighters and they will just send me a box of cigars each month. "what a deal"

    Wow, this thread is really informative. I was just considering ordering from them but I *hate* follow up/add on sales. I'll just stick with JR because they're the only ones I know and they've never let me down

    JR's solid. I've ordered from them many times. There's a lot of excellent retailers in PA (for now.)

    Yeah, we'll see how many are left if the proposed tax is approved by the legislature.

    Sounds like its time to lay down the law and inform them to stop calling you.

    sadly, it's become a game seeing how many times they would actually call me if i don't yell at them.

    Sigh...I live in Florida too, and I get orders from Pennsylvania faster than I did when I ordered from Thompson.

    I agree with everything. My experience with Thompson as been less than satisfactory. I ordered from them about 3 years ago (for a humi) and then recently gave them another chance. It took about 7-8 days for the order to arrive and when it did every stick was near bone dry. And the calls are awful. If you request to be taken off their list they will do that though.

    Stick to JR....hell stick to anything else.

    EDIT: Wrong thread. Um, I haven't dealt with Thompson so I have nothing to add.
    Each day I break my previous record of consecutive days alive.
