I won a bid at C-bid last Wednesday and received them on Saturday. Pretty fast shipping.

No Jason, once again the American arrogance resulted in a name that makes no sence.

I have experienced problems with both Famous and CI, but they both resolved them to my satisfaction.

I can't say the same for Thompson.

Americans don't exactly have a monopoly on arrogance... You'll find people just as arrogant in every country.

The above quote is ignorant, and is almost a stereotype.

With all due respect to all parties concerned, IMO this was provoked by the prior reference to "all you foreigners" by Jason, which is equally stereotypical, though the post contained smileys which often imply intent to apply humor. IMO, most generalizations are incorrect and unfair whether they are intended or thought to be humorous or not.

True. Intent is hard to get 'through' on the internet. I just figured DF would have used some sort of smilies in his post. It's just a sore subject with me.

I'll admit it, I took it completely the wrong way. :sheepish:

don't worry, I should have added a smiley. Although part of my remark has a serious underline, but that wasn't what I was venting about here.

I have yet to order from CI bot I have been a Famous customer for 15 years or so. There are some cigars (NCs) that both don't carry, so I shop around a bit more.
