A little suction for a couple giants that do it ri

I also have bought a lot from CI but not as much from Famous. I have always been very pleased. Props....

I posted a review of their (CI) customer service awhile back on another board after receiving a box of AVO maduros that were bone dry. That's the only problem I've ever had with them and they took care of it, full refund on the box and even told me to smoke one to make sure they were dead.

CI is great, never bought a thing from famous, good to know they're there.

I always play the two against each other.
Famous tends to have a lot of value-added deals that CI doesn't, like free cigars, free samplers, free lighters, etc.
So I always check both of them before pulling the trigger.
Aside from the extra nummies, their prices are usually within a buck or two of each other. All things being equal, I go with whoever has the freebie going on.

I agree. There are a few more that I've also been very happy with, but Famous and CI keep sending me these damn emails with great deals that I keep ordering!

Hafta agree with Brent, I haven't bought tons of stuff but have ordered from CI quite a few times with absolutely no problems.

I've used both also but tend to go to Famous first . There web site isn't as slick as CI's but I just like Famous better . Of the 2 I think CI is probably bigger and does more volume .

I also do a lot of business with CI, not Famous yet. I have yet to have an issue with anything. Service, shipping time, and selection is almost always there. Props overdue.

I like Famous a little better myself. More friendly, I suppose. I don't know, can't put a finger on it.

Agreed 100%. I could not come up with one complaint from either company. Actually if I am going NC I don't even look beyond those two.

I wish the Famous auction site would just clone Cbid though.
