I think te census says it's a matter of personal preference.

The decision to remove (or not) a cellophane wrapper is an individual one. Try it both ways and decide what works best for you.

I need to buy a cutter. Can any of them be disassembled to sharpen the blades? I've never seen this option mentioned in anything I've read about them.

If you pick up the Palio (or Xikar) it comes with a lifetime warranty, so if you are ever not satisfied with their performance, you can exchange them.

I hope this helps

Yes it does. That's a better deal than trying to sharpen those curved blades.

Hope this fits as a newbie question:

I have a quick question on cigar shopping - has anyone bought there cigars from Thompson Cigar? If so what was the experience like? I've seen some good deals I'm interested in taking advantage of...

Any other suggestions on good places to buy online would be appreciated!

Incessant calls for months (maybe years) will be your reward.

Some of the places I would offer as alternatives:

CigarsInternational
Holts
JRs

I am sure the others will follow with many which are better alternatives as well. I suggest skipping Thompson's if for nothing than their insane sales reps.

I concur. I stopped shopping there years ago until the last few months, as the little woman has taken to smoking some cigarillos only they carry. It wasn't two weeks before the phone calls started again. I straightened them out after the first few calls. No, i don't want any of your other "premiums."

I haven't shopped at Thompson's for years and I still get catalogs.

LINK to online retailers.

XTRazzer · 09-14-2010, 09:11 PM

I've never bought from Thompson's but got their catalogs anyhow. Had to send a 'stop' request online.

For online cigar shops I would add Famous Smoke, Atlantic Cigar, and Slippery Rock Cigars.

There are several retailers that are members of CA -- you can check out their specials and announcements in the retailers section.

That is one hell of a list!
