Funny Thompsons Story

My wife signed me up for their cigar club for an anniversary present. and I get 10 La Flor Dominican DL 600's every month. Two weeks ago I got the 10 pack and put them in my humidor to rest from the postal abuse. A week later I noticed some splits in the wrapper. I should have checked them before I put them in the humidor, but I was in a hurry to leave.

I sent an email to Litto Gomez, who replied immediately. He notified Thompsons who emailed me to call a customer service rep.

I called her the next day and told her what happened. She asked me if I take the cello off of the cigar before I put it in my humidor. When I told her no she said that's the problem. She said the cello won't allow the humidity to reach the cigar. I wasn't going to argue with her but it was obvious she know's nothing about cigars.

I guess it was a good thing I didn't argue with her. She sent me a $40 gift certificate.

Too Funny.

Nice! If you use the gift certificate on another batch of cigars hopefully they won't be as dry.

If you told her that you took the cello off, I bet that would have been the problem! We all know cello is the root of all evil in the cigar world - LOL.

Sometimes it's best to just let things go. She may be uninformed but, at least she did the right thing. Good for her.

cigar manufacturer's don't take the time, effort & cost to put the cello on for no reason.
