Description (taken from the website) : Thompson Cigar has always been devoted to delivering a wide selection of products covering all price ranges and tastes. The various Thompson private label cigars reflect our keen desire to provide to you the finest cigars at a fraction of what a comparable national brand would cost.
Experience:
Very pushy sales staff. They call unsolicited and try to sell you. Their many house brands are uniformly very poor dogs IMO.
Experience:
They had a good deal a couple years back, so I pulled the trigger. Next thing I know, they’re demanding proof of age. They wanted me to fax a copy of my drivers license — I told them I don’t have time for this and cancelled the order. I got on one of the boards and asked if this was common procedure — the response was unanimous: No, and stay away from Thompsons, for a variety of reasons.
Experience: Neutral
I just recently joined Thompson’s Cigar Club. The deal is they ship you cigars based on your pre-reported preferences every month (or as far out as 7 months) and as long as the cigars are of a certain list, they will eventually earn you a large discount. Unfortunately, you can not monitor or modify your account online and not all of their variety pacs (of which I buy most often) are included towards the program. I think you are supposed to buy 250 cigars but there is no limit on how long it takes to do that.
Thompson Cigar house brands are of good quality as they relate to the taste but are hit and miss on draw and (especially) construction.
As soon as I joined the club, they toned down the high-pressure sales pitches.
