I just got off the phone with Stinky from Stinky ashtrays. My issue was that I ordered two stinkys and one was missing the bottom base cup. Apparetnly where they are made they have no quality control and Stinky and his boys sort through when a shipment (8,000) ashtrays come in and sort the pile for defects. Missing a few is to be expected. After a 32 minute conversation on the topic of quality control and cigars Stinky is replacing an a brand new ashtray that was missing the bottom base cup. :tu Orginally he was going to send me a whole new ashtray and I would send the other one back. Well after talking for some time he said you know what, what if I sent you a cigar stand and base with some screws to attach the ashtray. I was amazed by this and could not provide enough thanks to him. :wo It was a pleasure of talking with him and I will remain a loyal customer to stinky ashtrays. Oh and did I mention today was his day off and he's going to the warehouse to ship this out today! What a class act BOTL. :tu

Always glad to see testimonials of good customer service... it does still exist! :ss

Seems like there is more of it associated with BOTLs than in any other arena. Does that say anything about the folks who enjoy this little hobby of ours? :tu

I got my Stinky (http://www.stinkycigar.com/) last year and the customer service was EXCELLENT !!! Great communication and arrangements were made to ship it up north without any hassles.

If you are thinking about getting a Stinky (http://www.stinkycigar.com/), check out the site and support an awesome botl! :tu

The rest of the world could learn a lot from vendors like this and Cigarmony and Cigar Caddy....

I have to add to Andrew's story...

I decided to buy 2 Stinkys through the group buy, one table unit and one floor model. I received the table model on the 3rd day after placing the order, but the floor model hadn't arrived after a week and a half.

I shot a quick email to Stinky with the order number, telling him that I was worried that it had gotten lost in shipping. Within a few hours, he had returned the email, saying that he couln't find a record of the unit being shipped. He said he was going in to get one prepped for shipping that afternoon, and 2 days later, it arrived Fed-Ex.

Now, I expect problems to crop up with online sales once in a while, but it's the companys like Stinky's that shine above all the others with the quality of their sterling customer service!!!

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. I order lots of stuff online, but anything cigar/pipe related always has the best, hassle free customer service of any other retailers out there.

I love my stinky, although it had a little bought with gravity and it's now a three finger stinky. One of these days I'll have to get around to fixing it.
