Yeah yeah I know other company, don't mention on the forums. The last couple of months when I click on the Daily cigar deal here on the front page I randomly get a Thompson Cigar pop up. I have also started receiving Thompson Cigar catalogs even though I have never ordered from them. Has our beloved C.com been bought out?

    dear god no.
    i suspect that your computer or ISP has tracked your cookies and knows you are smoking cigars. the damn lizard pays for crappy spam like ads.

    Nothing but evil, deception, lies, and bad business from the T word. They do all sorts of scams. Buyer beware.

    I get Thompson catalogs too, even though I have never ever given them business... which is a little worrisome. I trash them immediately

    I used to use T Word catalogs sent to me for lighting my cigars, but then they started to taste like deceit and lies so I quit.

    Thompson is very well known for acts of credit card fraud, switch and bait sales, retrieving information through cookies and spyware, stealing photos from cigar review sites, and Al Remp (of Thompson Cigars) actually believes that mold is plume.

    I'd suggest running Malwarebytes in addition to your antivirus for the pop-ups. If they're sending you their catalogs with Swisher Sweets on the cover, don't call them to remove yourself from their mailing list. They'll ask for your address (and personal information) and it will only be worse.

    I ordered one, well me and another forum member did a split, it all arrived good. But the chances are too great for me ever to order again.

    Is it just more or does anyone else never get pop up ads? Also ads on websites I could care less about so I am not worried about blocking those.

    That was the first site I ordered from and due to that learned about cigar.com. Never had a problem with them until they wouldn't stop calling me about the cigar promotion will not order from them again. Never had any other problem though but c. Com is my home now.
