CI has a similar deal. You can get 4 - 5er's of the 601's for $20 each, which equals $80, but there are a few free shipping codes around as well. So for $1 more per cigar, you can get CI customer service. They also have that same deal on a variety of other 5er's.

I ordered a humidor from them, and aside from one phone call nearly a year ago and the occasional catalog (hey, I like to look at cigars, regardless of the company), they haven't bothered me.

UPDATE:

Got my order of (40) 601 robustos, split among the BP maduro, and the Habano Oscuro Tronco. These things are in perfect condition, and surprisingly, don't appear to be too wet, nor too dry. Of course, this is all based on the "pinch the foot" test, which I use to gauge how the draw will be. The only issue I noticed, has to do with the BP maduros; they seem to be not quite as boxed pressed as the ones in the box I purchased. I am betting that TACUBA presses this cigar, using the cedar box they ship in. I noticed with the box I purchased a few months back that the cello seemed to be MORE than skin tight to the cigars and even had some indentations in it. So, with these 5 packs, the box press is not quite as sharp, but this really is splitting hairs, as the press is still there, they look perfect, and smell like mocha'ey barnyard greatness. The troncos are perfect as well.

So, so far, I am very pleased with my order but of course, I am waiting for Thompson to bother/screw me........I'll update then too.

I made two separate orders with Thompson. Total of 60 601s (20 each of the red, green, and blue) and 20 LFD 600s. I had no issues at all and have not received any phone calls or anything hinky so far and it's been over a month. All cigars were received in ideal condition, too.
