Thompson Cigar Co - It isnt so bad...

[b.read]

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.

Oh and a general note, sure people could post some sites they use and like. Or they can keep it to themselves if that's what they want, I'm not gonna hunt anyone down.

ggiese is acting like I asked people to post their receipts LOL! I guess I'm not current on cigar etiquette, is it inappropriate to ask someone about retailers they like?

"Should we just all post up in public where we all buy cigars" - You would think I was asking him to list his medical prescriptions.

I'm gonna love this forum...

:yawn:
You have made some erroneous assumptions in regards to the workings of this specific forum; seems to be a contagious disease lately. You have also demonstrated your sense of entitlement and have even acknowledged such behavior by your meager attempt at sarcasm in the opening of this post. It will be your own words that effectively "stop" you from asking stupid noob questions.

Besides, I thought you had your flame shield out and were bracing for impact

Christmas is truly a wonderful season!!

Gee, guys, this seems like a reasonable request. Maybe we should have some kind of 'Advertisers' or 'Stores' section in like an 'Marketplace' part of the forum, specifically to meet this guy's requests.

I'm trying hard to make sense of what you're saying in your post about "trolls" and "childish rants" and the like. I'm not sure what all the anxiety is - but I hope smoking a cigar helps to even you out. Works for me!!!

Anyways... Am I ever in a quandry. I really want to meet your needs and I'm seriously trying to hook up with a member on this board that has Excel 97. I'm just not having much luck. I also checked with my co-workers, friends, relatives - anyone I could think of that might still have a copy. I'm striking out in all counts. I know you have a tight deadline, but I'm so sorry bud - I don't see that I'm going to be able to get you the spreadsheet anytime soon.

I really hope you're not too upset. I'd hate to see you walk away with a poor opinion of our community. Stick around - I'll try to figure out some way to make it up to you...
