I ordered some Rocky Patel Autumn 2008 Salomons last December from Thompson's on a buy 2 offers, get the 3rd free deal. So, I ordered 2 10-packs to get the third 10 pack 'free'. They moved the so called 'availability' date up twice. Finally, when they moved it to Feb, 2011, I called and cancelled the order. They wanted to know if they could substitute another item and I said no, just refund money. It took about a week to get it credited back on my card. Meanwhile, they start calling your phone number looking to sell you something. I told the girl to lose my number since I don't intend to deal with them again. I still haven't found one person who's been successful purchasing those RP 2008 Salomons from them.

Great choice Justin!

The reviews sounded great. And at 48 shipped it seems like a decent price

Justin...Emersons is good to go. Local shops for us here in Hampton Roads VA.

As for Thompsons...

I have ordered from Thompsons and have had good customer service. I say that because the cigars had mold on them and I had to return them. Thompsons also has a store that I have been to many of times. The store is run by a really good group of guys.

This being said, if I'm placing an order I go elsewhere.

TBH, I bought a nice humidor from Thompsons when I first started smoking. I had no problem with them whatsoever, other than it took forever for it to be delivered.

I just hear too many horror stories to recommend them to someone.

emopunker2004 · 05-11-2011, 08:27 AM

Sounds good. I found that Emerson's had them after i posted about thompsons. Just went ahead and ordered from Emersons. Said they only had 4 in stock. Hope that was accurate.

I've had good cs with Thompson, fast delivery both times I ordered, once a jar of humigel had opened and spilled all over, they got me a new one out pronto free of charge, just my experience.

I've ordered a few things from Thompson's with no issues other than it taking two months to get my shipment (overseas) because they refuse to use USPS (which takes 5-7 days), but rather send space "A" to Japan. Across the board their prices are on the high side. Case in point, they are trying to sell 601 Blue Toro's for $200 a box and I just ordered a box of 601 Robusto's from Atlantic cigar for $94........Emerson's is excellent! I use them all the time, with prompt shipping (they include a 69% humidipack in zip locks) with every shipment and their Opus pricing is very reasonable.

When I first started smoking I ordered from them time to time. I never had a problem with them not sending my cigars but they always arrived dried out. It'd take a couple of months at the minimum in a humidor to bring them back. That's why I quit buying from them about 6 years ago. There are plenty of other better places to mail order cigars from if that's the way you prefer to get your smokes.
