Thompson Cigar Co - It isnt so bad...

[mrtr33]

I agree with my counterparts above....the hassle of Thompson's isn't worth the savings. If they were consistent in their savings or stock, I'd consider. They just seem only to care about my wallet, and not me as a cigar smoker/consumer.

What the whale said. Search the forum for other online vendors. The owner of this board has an online cigar shop as well....

My brother-in-law used to use Thompson's exclusively. Usually for samplers and such. SOME of the samplers are okay deals, but many are loaded with shit sticks with the odd decent one sprinkled in. The problem is that they usually replace the decent ones with other shit sticks based on availability which they say they will do right on their website without even asking. Now that my brother-in-law has certain cigars he reaches for, I have turned him on to other sites because Thompson's is considerably more for the same sticks that can be found elsewhere. He also gets the phone calls on a weekly basis and emails daily.

I've given my number to online retailers in the past so they could call in case there was a problem with the order, and even then in the off-chance that happens they still email. I think I'll think twice about handing that out from now on...

"They aren't so bad". You're a very tolerent fellow. They are bad and Walmart is worse.

I just wanna point out, Doc - in the "who's worst" war Thompson's may not be worst than Walmart - but they ain't far behind.

harleyhorse - I get it you want this community to "step up" and give you our sources. Makes absolute sense, if you really don't know where to go and you think Thompson's is the "bomb".

How would you like us to handle that request? Should we just all post up in public where we all buy cigars - give you some idea about pricing, delivery terms, taxes, shipping, quality, etc.? Or - is it better for us to all co-develop a spreadsheet for you where we matrix all of this information into one convenient package?


There's been an awful lot of new members recently that have been highly critical of how we treat the newbies. I feel bad and I know I speak for the others when I say we just really want to make sure we're meeting your needs.

Yes, do all of that and post it here. Oh and make it fast. Save the spreadsheet in Windows 97 format, haven't upgraded yet.

I suppose you get your kicks trolling the new members to the forum, don't like my post? Don't respond. Or troll me, that's fine. But if you think this childish rant is going to stop me from asking my stupid "noob" questions you might wanna save some time typing and just move onto the next post.

"This noob got on a cigar smokers forum and ask about online cigar retailers, even worse he expected us to respond like this is some kind of community cigar forum! Go away loser!"

Lucky for me I think trolls are hilarious, I suppose you get on medical forums and harass people who post medical questions. You are my hero.
