thompson cigar company

[icehog3]

Though their house brands and prices might be crummy, I have had lots of casual smoking friends use Thompson's and never have heard of a problem. I guess when a company fills tens of thousands of orders a year, they are going to make a few mistakes. Glad you ultimately got satisfaction.

i've done biz w/ thompson for about three years. although i don't use them much anymore i never had a problem w them b4. now i just get my full boxes of padron annis from them which they seem to have in stock @msrp and utilize the 3 payments, 0 intrest, plan.

They seem to have better deals on accessories and such than actual cigars. Maybe that's how they stay in business...

Their marketing rep offered me a free sampler when I first started to post on cigar forums. He wanted me to try them out and post what I thought.

That was over three months ago and I still have not seen the sampler. I emailed him after 6 weeks and he said that they would be sent out right away. Here it is 6 weeks later and still nothing.

Oh well. From what I hear I am not missing much.

I'm thinking that Thomson's must be aware of all the postings and extremely negative commentary on CS. I am surprised that they do notpost themselves, or respond in any way to what is being said here. Has anyone received PM's from them?
I can only assume that they do so much volume that they are not worried by what is being said here.
A battleship will not sink right away from a 2 inch hole in it's bow, but eventually it will sink.
Thomson's - do you have any response?

I have heard nothing but bad things about Thompsons since Joined up last month. This is a DAMN good example why. Perhaps enough complaints and reports to the BBB will get them some widespread negative press.

But, but, but, they gots a reel purdy catalog with lots o color pictures and stuff. And neeth every picture's a bunch of fancy writin 'bout how good them Thompson stogies is. Plus, they're only a buck a stick. How could they be bad? I saw them words in writing!
