I have never been aware of Thompson Cigar before this thread. Maybe I will check them out just to see what I have missed out on.
I want to say cigar.com has treated me extremely fair in the past which is why I guess I never really tried other sites. I buy some cigars at a great cigar shop in Lincoln which is far from home, but they (the cigar shop) are usually more expensive.

It's a line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. :lol:Brenda said:
As for the avatar, I like chickens (not to eat.)
Brenda, you really like chickens?!
As in those brightly painted ceramic chicken statues from the carribean?
Or the barnyard clucking and crowing variety?
I raised chickens for a while, and I have to say that they are the dumbest, meanest animals on the planet. My little bro (was three at the time) was terrified to come out and feed them because the roosters would jump up and beat their wings and try to spur him in the face!
Have you found one with a better temperment? I've heard of people keeping them as pets, but I just don't understand it.

Hi,
I"m AVGeek and I used to go to Thompsons.
I bought my first box from them, but have seen the error of my ways and have been working thru C.com for the last year. In fact, just got a bundle of Flor de Oliva Toros from you kind folks on Saturday. Lit the first one tonight while cooking on my grill (even though it was 28 degrees outside), and it was good all the way to the end.
Life is good.

I like chickens too, Brenda, both as barnyard creatures and to eat. One of the saddest things that my father said to me in recent times, was that he was going to give up keeping chickens. With the deteriorating conditions in his area of Puerto Rico, keeping chickens is becoming more of a liability to him. They were pretty cool to watch running all over the place around and near the house whenever I was down there. Funny animals. The roosters that crow at midnight are a real hoot.
As an antique dealer (my shop is actually called The Hen House btw) I've actually come across chicken glasses. In times past farmers had to put metal glasses on their chickens' beaks because during feeding time the chickens would get so riled up they would peck each others eyeballs out pecking for food. That is stupidity my friends...
No Spider66, I won't be slingshotting any midnight crowing chickens, just smiling as I lay there, if I ever have the chance to be around them again. If you want to hear commotion in the middle of the night, try an excited tree full of guinea hens. When my father kept those, it was great. They also taste better than chicken.

I meant no offense to the family chickens Bloof
But I just know what my reaction tends to be when I am awakened in the middle of the night by the neighbor's dog barking :twisted: (no, I've not actually used a slingshot on it....yet) :wink:I know. :mrgreen: Funny thing, speaking of stuff that gets people riled, I was perplexed and pretty horrified when I found out a few years ago what "cow tipping" was. When I told my father, well, perplexed and horrified would be mild compared to his reaction. :cryinlaugh:
thompson is essentially set up to sell to noobs and their house cigars to those that like them. if you don't know better, you'll over pay (they like that) it is only 1 of several (i know of 4) catalog / websites / store operations that the thompson group owns. the latest is belmondo coffee.
Cow Tipping , now thats a sport. Thats the offical sport of Vermont. Nothing like a warm Friday night, a few of your closest buddies, 4 to 5 cases of Budwiser in cans, and off to the farm. :cheers: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :cryinlaugh: :cryinlaugh: :cheerschug: :cheerschug: :barf:

Gary - are you admitting to drunken nights with livestock as company?

Never bought from Thompson Cigars. And after reading this thread, I'm glad I never did.
Stick to C.com. Fair prices, excellent service and best of all, respect.

I recently went for a package deal from that "T" company, 40ct humidor and 25 assorted brand cigars with it, the humidor is nice but probably half the cigars are dry. The one thing that really bugged me was the salesguy calling my mobile at 8am trying to get me to join their cigar club. Lesson learned? Research a little before jumping in, variety is good and support my local sellers. By the way I will be ordering from Cigar.com, I like the idea of buying individual smokes.
