I was just wondering why people don't like this company? I'm most likely going down to Florida and probably will be in Tampa for a day or so. Is this place worth checking out?

LOL.
Yea I was dumb enough to give them my email. It seems I get a message a day. But with all seriousness are they a good place to buy a few boxes of things like La Flor Dominicana, La Gloria Cubana, Padron etc. or should I be doing that In Ybor? My guess would be that Ybor is probably a tourist trap, but I don't know.

I can get past all the crap T sells. What I don't believe in is paying too much for my cigars. T is over priced compared to many other sites.


In heaven there ain't no beer,
that's why I drink it here.

I look forward to getting there catalog every week......gives me something to light my fireplace with.


I wish I would have known earlier that buying her diamonds would let me be allowed to smoke cigars in the house.

I recently moved, and they found me here too!!! You can't hide from them. I like the fireplace idea though.

If your going to be near Saint Armands square I hear Benningtons Tobacco is the place to go.

True on the Benningtons Tobacco. Maybe Steve (Silmaril) on this site, still works there.

The catalog makes me laugh from some of their adds. But as mentioned above good for the fireplace.

It may just be me, but I've bought from them before (suppies, but not cigars). They've had my information and I have yet to receive an email, phone call or catalog from them. They shipped me my stuff (did have to call them as it was on back order and nobody told me) and told me to keep them in mind if I needed anything else. But since then I haven't heard a word from them.

Price Service and selection are the 3 main reasons I choose not to spend my money at T


"Cuban seed tobaccos grown in Nicaragua and Cuba. The wrapper would be from Cuba. The binder leaves would be from Nicaragua. For the ligero tobacco in the filler, he would use two types, one from Esteli and the other from Jalapa in Nicaragua. The other filler components, seco and viso, would come from Cuba, the former from Villa Clara, the latter from Pinar del Rio. That Cigar, he says with pride, would score 100 points."
