Is Thompson Cigar a reputable merchant?

Oooph, I just realized this was a 3 year old thread. :0

Bu11dog if you fill out your profile with your likes (so far) and your mailing addy you never know someone may send you some sticks to sample. <hint, hint> ;)
 
I saw the date on this thread and laughed. One of my other passion is knives and at the other forum where I spend most of my time I see the same thing and shake my head like many of you just did. I'm learning as fast as I can. Like someone in this thread said, Thompson is good for newbs and hopefully they learn and move on fast. Lesson learned. My humidor (from them and dirt cheap but holding a nice 65%!) took a nose dive when my first order from them went in. It took 2 weeks to settle back down. And yes the off brands I smoked from them didn't seem very good to me. What do I know though I dont' think I've had 3 dozen smokes since I started a couple months ago.
Thanks for the advice and old ass threads:)

Bu11dog,

NST can go for as little as $50. There has been a lull as of late (this week) so now's a great time to jump in if you've got the scratch. (Yes, I am a member invovled in it...so what, I'm allowed to put in a plug ;))
 
WOW, this thread brings back some memories! :laugh:

Tommy (BkCloud114) being a newbie and a time when Scroto (SFG75) and I were actually friendly to one another. :laugh: Then one day Scroto forgot to take his meds and got himself ban! :thumbs:

I have to agree. Thomsons sucks a fat one.
When I first started smoking, I bought a few cigars from them. Don't even remember the names. A friend suggested thats how I should start. Buy nothing over $3 for each stick. From those few purchases, they haggled me to try and sign up for a special promotion they had at the time. I said sure- what a dumbass- thinking I could wait for something they have that no one else has- other than crap. Felt like I was getting a call from them everyday, asking if I was going to order anything soon. I would always reply, 'not yet.'
I guess I'm kind of a mellow guy, so I let this go on for about a month. Finally enough was enough and I sent an email wanting nothing to do w/ this promotion anymore. I guess in blind reaction, they sent me a strings of samplers. 3 in all. Sent them back one by one and within a month of returning the first package, I received a letter saying I had to pay for the return shipping. Tried responding over the internet, but that didn't work. Told them numerous times that I wasnt interested, but still, the packages kept on comming.
I wasn't going to pay over $60 for stuff I didn't want- so after the third package, I wrote back threating legal action if they didn't leave me alone. Got a letter back within a few days saying they were sorry and hope this didn't change my view of their company.
I have to just reinforce to everyone here, don't give them your cell number, email address, or anyother means of contacting you because they will just eat up your minutes.

LMAO.... I thought Scotty was back

Ahhhh.... the island.... those were fun times !!!
 
Being new to the hobby and with a Thompson catalog in hand I ordered up a sampler that included a fee humidor. Also being part knucklehead I did all of this BEFORE doing a little searching on the internet about Thompson.

Having found many many many negative things about this company I was a bit worried about I just wasted over $100.

My order did come on time as promised, cigars seem to be in fine shape although the humidor is a bit on the cheap side it too seems to be working as intended.

Even though my experience has been satisfactory, I don't think I'll press my luck with this company and will try out another retailer for my next order.

BTW: the sampler I ordered included: Cohiba, Hoyo De Monteray, Punch and C.A.O Criollo cigars.
 
I liked the Thompson black label cigars my first humidor came with :p
