Thompson Cigar Co - It isnt so bad...

[mrtr33]

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.

If only there was some sort of way a person could search the internet for places to buy cigars.

Buzz - there's this fairly recent development called "Google". It's a website you can go to search just about anything your heart desires. I know - you're thinking (much like I did initially) that this sounds too good to be true. But - I swear - it's going to absolutely revolutionize the way we do things on the internet!!!

A long time ago I had a 1997 version of Excel, and my browser was Mosaic. However, in order to take full advantage of the most current technology, a system upgrade is in order. Give it some serious thought... If you're considering using "Google" - I personally believe the payoff will be well worth the spend on the upgrade!

But how do I find Google's website?

ETA: Can you guys post a list of the search engines you use please?

Check!

Now - this is kinda like the Tootsie Pop challenge. Just how many stupid newbie questions can one ask until they reach a place of enlightenment?

Guess I am a little lost, Geez hope this is the only stupid thing I say, Just looked to me like someone was wondering where to buy from. I mean I live in a town with 2k people only true Walk-In humidor is worthless IMHO. Only thing I miss in WA. I buy 95% of my cigars online and TCC is one of the places, I am not happy with their tactics, coming from a Sales background the sales people have to make their quota or maybe look for another job.

I buy from CI (and it's sister site), Holts, TCC, JR. to name a few. Maybe I am looking at this post wrong and frankly I see it as someone asking others that have better insight into a good ONLINE Cigar company that you as a Brother of the Leaf can trust. TRUST is something that not everyone has for the Online world. I mean I don't like going to a i-want-your-money dot com site to find out that my Hard earned cash is now tied up and have to make a claim with my Credit Card company because 2 weeks ago I ordered and no reply to emails, or the run around on the phone when someone does take my call.

Google is our friend but can be a pain if not used right, So to the poster of this thread, Google for some cigar shops, Then Google again for the shop you want to order from and see what others are saying about that shop, I can tell you this If people have been burned from that site you will know it from looking them up in google. Like cheapercigars dot com. Sure you can get cigars there cheaper like my Oliva Serie V for 155.00 lol RIGHT sure that is what the Website says but do you get what you ordered? Maybe not and I am not going to tie up my HARD EARNED CASH.

Good Luck in finding a good cigar place online there are loads of them. Wish there was a place that had the ability to know who is good or bad before I place my order.

J - let me ask you this... Are you willing to invest time and effort to become part of a community of cigars smokers? Actually contribute by participating and helping other members out? Maybe Laugh - sometimes joke - look for opportunities to trade with others? In other words - develop a relationship with the others on this site? Would all of that be worthwhile to you?

...or are you just here to suck whatever information you can out of the members here as quick as you can?

Look at it this way. Liken you curiosity about cigars and cigar retailers to fishing. Do you prefer catching fish by dropping explosives in the water? ...or are you one that catches fish by the time honored methods?

Collective, it only took the harleyhorse guy 46 hours to prove to us that he's a jackass and he's never coming back. Now granted, it was pretty easy to tell from his first post which seemed all sweet and innocent but the signs were there and he confirmed that he's an immature toad with his subsequent comments.

And never mind that, Thompson's is terrible and no one I know buys anything from them I live in a town of 2000 people too but I buy ZERO percent of my cigars on-line. When I used to buy them on-line I used:

Famous-Smoke
Cigars International
JR Cigars
Superior Cigars
Holt's
Atlantic Cigar
Camino Viejo - the guys who owns this site owns that company

The Tobacco Shop - Hartford, CT
The Owl Shop - New Haven, CT
Two Guys Smoke Shop - various locations in New Hampshire
L.J. Peretti - Boston, MA
Regency Cigar - East Greenwich, RI
Nick's Cigar World - North Myrtle Beach, SC
Uncle Mikey's Cigar aka Mr. Bundles - Richmond, VA

The last seven do mail order on some items and I highly recommend all seven of these because I've personally visited all of them and have bought cigars from them.

I can proudly say I've NEVER bought anything from Thompson's and I never will.

But how do I find Google's website?

ETA: Can you guys post a list of the search engines you use please?

I'm only aware of Google. You can find it at www.google.com. There's not much there when you first open the screen, but trust me - you'll be shocked when you put something in the text box and hit "search".

So you're thinking there are other "search" engines? We potentially have a choice about other web sites that do searches of the internet? No way!!! Wow - that would be absolutely awesome!!!
