Putrid customer service I ordered a package of Ghurkas that included two rock glasses. When it arrived the glasses were broken. I sent a message to what CI laughingly calls customer service but it was ignored, as were two subsequent messages. Today as y I sent a message telling CI not to send me any more catalogs or emails, adding that it could go straight to hell. This ends a decades-long business relationship solely because of CI's abysmal lack of customer service or, for that matter, common courtesy.

Strange Customer Service Today we noticed two suspicious charges… Today we noticed two suspicious charges on my husband bank account, after being on hold for a hour the young woman answered then saying she couldn't hear anyone, saying "are you there"? over and over again meanwhile I am speaking very loud but she keeps reapting the same sentence. On our end we had no problems but my first instinct was she heard us just fine, I can hope that I am wrong. Bill and Donna

Will sell your address to 3rd party companies I was happy with the cigars and service BUT one big item turned me right off and makes me think I'll order elsewhere. I started getting magazines from Bazzar and Vogue. After filing a BBB complaint it was discovered that CI had passed my address to a company called bPerx who than passed it to a company called Subco, a publishing clearing house. Though BBB informed I was not charged for the magazines it was unsettling as to all appearances it appeared as someone had subscribed me and used my credit info for the subscriptions. I consider it an unethical practice CI to distribute my address in this manner to 3rd party companies. This is no way for a company to build trust or a dedicated customer base.

A company with no process and no… A company with no process and no standards. After a box of cigars I ordered was sent back to them from the post office for an incorrect address CI never contacted me. They never answered my customer service requests even when I attached my questions to another order. The second order they actually accepted and then cancelled saying the cigars were out of stock. The first order that was sent back... well they just put those cigars back up for sale, kept the money they charged me and I suppose was just going to keep doing that until I stepped in 3 weeks later. My first attempt at dealing with a human customer service rep had a young twerpy voice barking at me like I was in the wrong. My second person Phil was decent person but even talented people stuck in crap still smell like poo. They're not going down hill, they're already in the gutter. The other reviews should confirm the same. With as many other fish in the sea as there are, your pole is better off in someone Elses pond. CI stinks, the water is murky and the fish are polluted.

Poor cigars Poor cigars - I have bought dozens of cigars from them and each time I seem to get 'factory seconds' - just absolute crap that burn poorly - it as if one is buying those cheap cuban knock offs in Mexico - then there is the shipping - I order second day shipping so my order is fresh - 5 days to the door - WTFR - I am finished with this company
