I wonder if all these STG subsidiaries operating out of one office are being handled by one customer service department. CI, Cigar.com, Pipe & Cigar, C-Bid, Thompsons and who knows what else.

Happened to me too. Called 2-3 times over a couple weeks and got that msg. I called yesterday and got through (after 45 mins). No biggie - doing other stuff while waiting for a pick-up. Talked to Darlene who was very nice and helpful. She said that the warehouse is transitioning to a new system. Some of my stuff was on the old system and some on the new. This messed up the order. She is going to split the order and she said that will fix it.

How many people on this forum actually still buy from here? Sunoverbeach create a poll. I am curious.

Well the Bid is not the deal it once was and raising the msrp doesn't justify the change. People are just willing to bid more than they were before. I often see bids higher than CI sells for. People get addicted to the chase and lose their common sense. These cigars are made in countries where people make less than $100 a week. The average wage in Nicaragua is equal to $6,333.27 USD per year. I don't think cigar prices are reflective of the cost to manufacture. CAVEAT EMPTOR ... Charge all the market will bear and let the buyer beware. Two reasons to be on the Bid, #1 desire to save some money and #2

🇨🇮 addictioon to the chase. Which are each of you?

I am also having issues with two orders.

Have tried calling at least 6 times, including now being on hold for over an hour each time!

I have also sent 3 E-mails with no response!

I have been a loyal customer for many years, never an issue, really a let down lately !!

Hey, guess what noobs and all you old timers/first timers with order issues.

There are OTHER places to buy cigars online, and other places that have cigar auctions.

Quit your sniveling!

You’ve been here 10 years, and didnt notice all the issues since BEFORE Covid…………………………..and now your order is a bit fubar, and it makes you sniffle…

You didn’t even let Frankie know you were OK that time you got drunk in the tranny bar, and woke up in the Motel 6, next to “Kim”, feeling kind of groggy.

He was worried sick!

The worst customer service! They shorted me in my last order. I've sent 2 emails (no response) and phoned 3 times for a total of 2 hours without getting to talk to anyone. (...and their on-hold music is a scratchy, annoying recording.)

Emails won't work. Phones will, but you're likely to need to combine those 2hrs into one call.

This all seems strangely familiar 🤔

Unbelievable customer service! Shorted on order from 3 weeks ago.- had a confirmation. Despite 4 emails and numerous attempted telephone calls, no response whatsoever, no "customer service."

Need another cigar site - recommendations?

Mentioning competing sites is against forum rules. Are you trying to get us banned ?
