Does anybody have any experience with these guys?  I ran a search for something and these are one of the only online retailers to have them.  Thanks.

Never ordered from them, but according to CigarCyclopedia, no. 15 on the list of the top 25 national retailers.

I've been enjoying this site for several months now and thought this question presented an opportunity to jump in.

First, I've enjoyed the banter here, particularly the comments about the evolution of cigar smoking.  A year ago, I had about 30 cigars in one humidor and thought a Macanudo Hyde Park was as good as it could get, and now I can't stand Macanudo and have over 600 cigars in 8 humidors.

Second, I had a very unpleasant experience with cheapercigars.com.

Roughly 10 months ago, I ordered a box of Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Robustos from them, and I had two problems.  First, it took nearly five weeks for the cigars to arrive.  Second, I'd have been better off if they'd never arrived.  They appeared to have been significantly over-humidified and then significantly under-humidified to compensate, as in a week out in the rain and another week in Death Valley to make up for it.

I tried five cigars, they all tasted dreadful, I never finished one, and I tossed the box.  I probably should have contacted customer service, but, by that time, I didn't expect much from them.

I've ordered from JR, Thompson, and Cigarbid/CI with no problems.

Welcome, Dave! Follow this link and introduce yourself: http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?board=43.0

Welcome Dave and don't be a stranger.  That's the great thing about this site is that people like you have much to offer others who need information before making a purchase or just enjoy the daily BS that we happily share with others.

Welcome to CG!  Sorry to hear about your experience, but thanks for letting us know.

Welcome aboard, Dave!

As for cheapercigars, I've always found a better price with a little looking so I've never dealt with them.

What on earth do they have that other retailers don't?

Welcome to CG Dave and thanks for sharing.  It sounds like you have jumped into cigars with both feet.  600 cigars and 8 humidors in a year, wow!
