I'll second that one! I buy from a couple online sites but not Thompson!

That's not the first time I have heard that about Thompson. Is there a reason for that other than their house blends being crap?

Google, Thompson. All reviews say that their customer service sucks. Sometimes, you order one thing and they ship you something different. Etc....

That blows. I will definately be staying away from them then.

They are famous for the bait and switch. I ordered a sampler from them and only received one cigar in the 20 cigar sampler that was listed in it when I ordered. When I called to find out why they told me to refer to their policy. Basically everything is subject to availablity and they reserve the right to swap cigars in all their samplers.

Oh man , Maddy , I would have been steamed-what a ripoff-obviously customer service is not something they recognize as instrumental in their survival as a company .....I and proably a lot of others would not bother with going to their sight after reading the comments here! Long live CCOM

Dude Love

Not to mention Thompson is fucking annoying and they take forever to ship. I'll stick with Ccom.

Yea two of the cigars that were added to the sampler were Macanudo's. The guys argument, "they retail for more than the cigars they replaced."

I'll second that, I ordered from them 1 time, will NOT ever do it again. Ccom is awesome.

A friend of mine ordered a sampler as a gift for me from the T site. Half of the sticks were substituted for cheaper house brands. Nice on his part as a friend, bad on the T site. There are only 3 places I will order smokes from online. ccom is one of them.

only two for me. this is one of them. more likely now that they have the one day deal going. that will be enough to push me over to buy more.

rwheelwright

3 main sites for me and maybe 2 more for stuff I can't get at the other 3. Recently it has been 85%ccom, and the other 15 percent go to the other sites.

phobicsquirrel

gmill880

Pheebs are you going Grail hunting?

phobicsquirrel

Gotcha

I use 3 sites for cigars. If I'm buying accessories, I'll widen my view a bit.

brsmith21

Looks like all pretty much agree on not buying from T, but are there any others to specifically avoid? I'll definitely keep the bulk of my purchases with ccom, but there are a couple of things I want that they don't carry. PM is fine if you'd rather not post in public. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I placed a order with them before I read this post and was going crazy waiting on the package to get here and sure enough it took forever to ship and the sampler had two swaped smokes I am soooooooooo POd screw them and the junk they sell.

On Monday I placed my first order with Cigar.com and I am not worried at all with all the good things yall say about Cigar.com I am sure all will be good.

 

Thanks Lance

Well I can say that I braved the T place and got the box I actually ordered. Had to call to get info on tracking but the person on the phone was nice.

Tumbler

Never tried the T site. I have taken a peek, but never pulled the trigger. I was using three, got down to two, but 90% of my orders, as of late, is coming from here. I really like dealing with Tim.

plaidbanana1

Im with tumbler on this one. I also get about 90% of my cigars from Ccom. As a cotm member the 10% off every day and the daily deals are amazing. I have also talked with Tim and he's a great guy to deal with.

Jetmech_63

T Blows! Most of my stuff comes from here or occasionally the b&m, just to try and keep em employed. I'm on a crap ton of mailing lists and if i find a smoking deal(HA!) i'll order from them but usually thats it.

kevster77

When I first started to smoke I used T. a few times, wasn't that impressed. searched for a cigar sight on google and c.com came up first and thats what I have stuck with. orders come quick and I actually get what I ordered. I actually canceled the free catalog from T. no need for it.
