GBI paid for faster delivery, price and quality I paid for faster delivery, my order is 4 days late. If you go to one of their stores, there is a big difference between online pricing and in store pricing. The quality of cigars has dropped off as well. Mouse holes, slits, canoes, rolled too tight and won't burn. End caps fall off while you're lighting the cigar. Too many issues for me. They have fallen out of favor as many have noted on here. I'm looking for another company now. Pretty sad really, I have used them for years.

GBCI is sending me magazines that i never ordered. others are also complaining about this. some sort of scam from a very shady company! beware! i have ordered for several years from CI. in september, i received several magazines in the mail that i did not order. when i called the magazines, they referred me to a publishing company. when i called the company, i was told that CI had them sent to me as a promotional item. i had the publishing company to stop any magazine orders to be sent to me. i ordered some cigars from CI about a week ago, and today, i got magazines from GQ and Harper's Bazaar. when i called the publishing company, they told me that they had put a stop to sending me magazines per my request in september. they said that CI was responsible for sending them. this is some sort of scam, where the magazines will eventually try to bill you for a subscription that you never ordered. you do not have to pay for a subscription that you did not order, but some people may feel intimitated enough to send money, then they will have a subscription. CI is behind this scam, so beware of this crooked company. no more CI for me!

GBHonestly absurd at how long these… Honestly absurd at how long these people take to ship an order. Ordered Tuesday night and I still haven’t received a confirmation email that my order has been shipped. Tried getting ahold of customer service and nothing. EDIT: Apparently my order was on hold for age verification, although I never was notified of this, I’m on the phone with them now and hopefully getting it straightened out. We’ll see how it goes

GBWill 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.

GBA 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.
