I placed a recent order for some delicious RP Edge Sumatras last week and a free sampler was to come with it of 4 vintage 90 and 4 Indian Tabac super furte box pressed maduros came free.
When I opened the package there was indeed the Sumatras but instead there was a Roly sampler instead.
I called and bam no questions asked they sent the correct sampler out right away.
I tried the Indian Tabac tonight and I am not a fan.
I wanted to give props where due though.

Does anybody like these Indian Tabacs? First one to pm their addy gets them.
 
I've never tried them, but would be up for giving one a shot if you're sending out samples =)

Its great that there are some good folks working there, but the ownership is without class. It'll still be a cold day down below before they get any of my money.
 
I cannot stand those super fuertes either... yuck. :0
 
The first Indian Tabac Super Fuerte I tried was the Super Gordo size, a 6 x 58 - and I really liked it. When I saw a BOS (box on sale) a few weeks later, I pulled the trigger. The deal was on a box of the box press Toro size, a 6 x 52. Although I do like them, I don't care for the Toro as much as the Super Gordo. I've not experienced that small amount of ring gauge making a big flavor difference before...or maybe it's that the Toro is box pressed and the Super Gordo wasn't? I'm just filing it away as one of cigar's big mysteries.
 
I know there was the thread a while back about the classless shot at Padilla which angered and surprised me too, but I feel like that was not the norm for Holt's and somebody had to have let something slip through the cracks. I'm just speaking of the B&M stores... they always have everything in stock, a gigantic selection including HTF and rares, every stick is in good shape, the place is immaculate, and every employee treats me with respect.

It's just my opinion and probably a minority opinion here and I totally understand that. I've given them every chance to screw up but they're always great to me.
 
Did anyone do a comparison check on Holt's prices with practically anyone else? ???

Holts has very good prices IMHO. In Philly I save sometimes up to $2 a stick, they sell a lot at MSRP.

Agree with ya on that, they're usually right at or near MSRP, even for the ones on the rarer and more super premium side (in the shop at least). Sometimes I see that CI will beat them on certain smokes. But then again CI is often backordered or out of stock.

Amen! Couldn't agree more.

Holt's shameful behavior vis-a-vis Ernesto Padilla is well-documented on this forum. As they say..."look it up!"
 
After reading I will no longer be buying stuff there.
Damnit though they have good deals on my beloved Sumatras!

I remember a thread a while back someone posted where they were going for about the same at another place.
