Friends don't let friends shop at Thompsons.

One of the most PITA companies to deal with.

Yeah I’ve had issues with them before but managed to get it sorted out, to be fair I’ve had at least 1 hiccup with each different online retailer I’ve used though...
I just enjoy the ability to select the 5 packs at a discount...
However I’m also always open to suggestions!

Thompson is great if you love lots of sales calls! Think relentless! All these NCs are available elsewhere. Happy hunting!

As luck would have it, I just scored the #1, E.P. Carillo Encore from a local B&M shop last night! Very curious to see if it lives up to the hype...will probably post in the “what I smoked today” thread and give my opinion later today/this evening!

Do you know what your B&M keeps their rH at? If they keep it at 70 or above, you may get a better picture of what the cigar should taste like if you let it acclimate for a few days.

Yeah Tom good call, this particular B&M keeps it at about 70 as memory serves. I’m across town at the gf’s atm, so currently stored in freezer bag with 69% Boveda. However, I failed to mention we bought 2, idea initially was to both smoke them simultaneously tonight, as I have to head home tomorrow morning.
You’re influencing the more responsible part of my conscience (angel on shoulder) which is telling me to leave them be until next time I stay over here....hmm

Ahhh okay it’s settled. Consulted the gf and she concurs with your sentiment..looking like the smoking of Encore’s will commence on the weekend of the 12th instead.

A team mate of mine gifted me the #1 and #2 for Christmas. Looking forward to trying them. I've never been much for trying to track down the top sticks from the list. I put more stock into the reviews here and that's mostly how I choose new stuff.

Hopefully they treat you well then, Michael.
