Thompsons Brand . . . Good or Bad??

i would stay away from them,their prices are about the highest you'll find and they will charge above retail on some cigars.i learned the hard way.
try jrcigars,lacigar,fullerspullers,or cigarsinternational instead.
you can get bundled seconds or overruns of name brands like perdomo for under $2 a stick from CI.

Thompson's is a rip-off.

I have never seen higher catalog prices in my life than I have seen at Thompson's. I have tried a couple of their house brands (which seems to make up about 40% of their catalog) and they were dog rockets.

Stay away.

Sorry Thompson's! My opinion!

I'm in complete agreement with the thompson's comments - but I think that some house labels can be decent smokes. Caribe makes some good cigars for their house-label distribution program. They make a label for this cigar shop that are pretty good smokes.

Personally, I rarely smoke house labels - only to change things up and keep myself from getting burned out on my favorites. But I'm a graphic designer by trade and thought the logos on these cigars were pretty cool

been hearing a lot of negatives on Thompson's, so I've never really bothered to deal with them to save me some trouble. I have found a really good site that has good stock, low prices and good customer service. Ordered from them once and it came on time and the sticks were in perfect condition. The shop is Famous Smoke. The URL below.

i suggest you give them a try.

I just got a catalog from famous smokes and their prices seem pretty good. I am more than likely going to give them a try on my next order....nice to hear a good review of their service....thanx chris.

Thanks for all the info.

I ahve ordered from Thompsons . . . just not their brand before. So far all I have ordered were some samplers. Great price too. After checking around their box prices are alot higher. As with anything you have to shop around to get the best prices.

Thanks again guys/gals.

I've been able to find some good prices by running searches on Froogle...

Type in Ashton VSG for example and then click "Price Low to High" in the left hand menu. That sorts by best price and Voila! Beats sifting through the top 50 organic results and looking through each product one by one.
