Because I would prefer if you wish to be kbliching about something that happened 35 years ago that you open your own thread and do it there.Thanks
Also I value my email address and don't think it is nothing.
Does it really bother you T.G. that I opened this thread? I mean you didn't want the other one open but you have posted quite a lot in this one.

I'd explain it to you, but you wouldn't get it.

So Icehog.... you have a distaste for Thompson's as well... Do you dislike them for just their marketing saturation? or for the sometimes horrible quality of their sticks?

Their marketing is my issue, Rob. Most of their house blend cigars are garbage, but they sell some accessories and decent cigars too.

But when someone unsuspectingly gives their phone number while making an order, and then is deluged with phone calls despite repeated requests to stop, they lose any good will I might have had for them. Avoid them like a cancer.

yea I guess that is valid... but for noobs like myself a free cigar means a lot... especially when there are no B & M's nearby and the one closest to you doesn't carry them... Sure I could go on the devil site and order up a 5 pack or what-have-you but thats a bit much to pay for a stick you haven't actually tried yet...

Plus I'm cheap... no need to beat on the bargain seekers... lol

[icehog3]

Not beating on the bargain seekers. Beating on those who continue to beat a dead horse....for a second thread's worth.

Very true... I actually didn't mind Thompson's till 3 things happened...

I was in love with the Alec Bradley Sampler they had there... got it cheap on an auction once and it was great... so great I bought another outright off the site... (much more expensive) when I received my second sampler, the cigars had a different taste, one (the one I looked to the most) was plugged and another had burn issues...

That was the first strike... the second was a bit more personal for me...

I LOVE Rocky Patel's- PATEL BROS cigars... After looking around I found that only Thompson's had them, I went so far as to email Rocky's company asking if I could find them anywhere else by the box... they told me they sold the line out to thompsons and that the sites that still had boxes were of older stock... That just sort of rubbed me the wrong way because Thompson's is by far I find the most expensive site around....

The final strike was when I was offered a free sampler from Thompson's, after talking to the guy I asked him to send any sampler that had a Patel Bros in it... When I did finally receive the sampler (slow standard shipping) it did even have a single stick from Rocky Patel - much less the Patel Bros I was looking for...

I ordered another sampler or 2 till I was offered another free sampler, I told the thompsons agent about what had happened with the first one, he assured me they had a Rocky -only sampler and that it would be sent my way... It never came...

So from then on I vowed never to give Thompsons another cent... and after discovery of Famous-smoke and the devil site I never have...

Well feel that tension....

In other news....



you just got mooned.... lol

BTW...No disrespect intended T.G. /Savor the stick... Just thought a laugh would be good for everyone...

And on that note, look for thread closings in the near future.

Always nice to hear stuff like that, Tony.

A wise ToE from Ohio once said, "We provide the canvas, and you all paint the picture".
