I haven't purchased from CI since last November... I made a purchase and they had a deal they posted at checkout... Gurkha Titans at a decent price. The pic showed the titans leaning against the brushed aluminum presentation box. I didn't particularly want the Gurkhas, but I wanted the box, so I ordered them.

When I opened the box, I had a bag of cigars... no box of any kind. When I called, they said that only comes if you order them the regular way. I figure that I should have got what was in the picture, and they said sorry.

So, no more buying from CI for me... and I was buying from them 3 or 4 times a month. Oh well, their loss... I've been buying from Famous now, for the most part, especially with the hourly deals on Cigar Monster the last few weeks.
