    Default Is anyone familiar with Thompson Cigars?

    A co-worker found out I smoke cigars on occasion and recommended me to this site.

    These deals look pretty good but are they misrepresented or falsely advertised at all? I don't know anything about this site. I'm usually not very picky about the quality of the cigar, just wondering if this site is legit or not.

    Unfortunately, yes.

    There's more to a site than it's prices. Search the forum to see some of the complaints.
    Latest smokes:
    Cigar: 5/19: Nub Connecticut 464T
    Pipe: 3/16: G.L. Pease~Charing Cross

    The samplers they sell are decently priced but full of "Thompson only exclusives" for the most part. For example, you may see a lot of familiar brands, but then upon closer inspection you find out that that brand makes that particular cigar only for Thompson's.

    The cigars they sell that are available elsewhere, are usually cheaper elsewhere. Once you place an order with them, they will phone, email, and pester you on a continual basis. I know this not from personal experience, but from the experience of my brother-in-law.

    Lastly, if you buy a sampler from them be aware that they have a disclaimer that if some of the sticks aren't available they have the right to substitute. This they do and the substitute is usually crap. This is disappointing especially if you find a sampler with some decent cigars and they get substituted for the usual crap. Try camino viejo cigars, cigars international, holts cigars, silo cigars, atlantic cigars and many others before Thompsons.

    Your co-worker is definitely not a friend if he has sent you there.

    I don't know that I'd go that far. Maybe his co-worker enjoys phone calls soliciting cigar sales, while some people like to be left alone. Some people like pro football. Others enjoy Project Runway. Some people like milk in their tea. Others like milk in their scotch.

    Ok, seriously, you don't have enough "street cred" as you put it to be horsing around yet.

    That has to be very close to the most moronic thing I've ever read on a cigar board.
    Yes, Thompson's sells legitimately shitty cigars......you should be in nirvana.

    Make sure you give them both your home and cell numbers....Just in case!

    Ok, so seems like they're known for spamming people and not very good quality?

    Thanks, good to know. I'll just avoid it then.

    Also, what do you mean PM sent? It doesn't look like I have any messages. Does this forum have a lot of lag time for those to go through?

    Check your PM spam filter.
