I purchased from this company fairly consistently, then I realized they've been charging me for some kind of rewards program, Puro Perks, unrelated to cigars. They've been charging me $16.52 for the... See more

My wife ordered me a sampler for my birthday a month in advance. We found out a week after it was supposed to be here from them only after asking that it was on backorder. They'd be glad to refund us... See more

Good prices, good selection..but: website extremely difficult to navigate and order from. Would not accept any of my credit cards, had to call customer service to complete order. After a long wait, the customer service rep was " difficult," to communicate with, and tried to sell me extra products. Finally concluded order.Finally.

Poor shipping leads to bad smokes…

I started out with small orders with CI, and had no problems. Although I dislike that they rarely if ever sent humi-packs with orders, I had no issues. Not thinking about that it was summer, I placed an order which took a bit longer than anticipated to reach me. Many in the box were dried or unsmokeable. The response was that they would send me a coupon. A coupon? What a joke.

Worst customer service ever!!!!

Have purchased from these guys before and all went well. That's great until something goes even slightly wrong. Absolutely NO customer service and even after you get a hold of them they will flat out tell you they will do nothing about it. Worst service ever. Staty far away.

Customer service doesn't exist

Long time customer and never had an issue until Feb 2021.
Cigarbid which is a CI auction site backordered a box of cigars i had won. The rest of the shipment arrived with zero issues but I was billed for the back order which was paid.
All good right? NOPE
Try getting in touch with customer service. By phone is impossible and emails ARE NOT answered. This company is the WORSE. I will never buy anything from these people again and I strongly advise anyone reading this doesn't either.
THEY SUCK
You have been warned. D Hall

I have spent over $10000.00 over several years at this company. They always shipped within a few days. I placed an order on 1/1/2021. All items were in stock. It's now 1/15. Tried to call customer service, no answer. Sent out 3 different emails, no answer. I don't know what's going on at this company, but it's not good. I had to go to a local cigar shop to purchase my cigars. I spent a little more money, but I got my cigars. I will never order from this company again.

Wont be ordering from these clowns ever…

Wont be ordering from these clowns ever again. This was my first experience with cigars international. It is understandable to verify age but when you send them the information they need it makes no difference. Lots of emails saying to "verify age" or your order will be cancelled in 5 days... Listen, these people will jerk you around and treat you like TRASH. Their customer service is a joke and slower than a sloth. If you have an order with zero problems you might be good, but if you get an email from cigars int. needing anything extra after your order, you might as well cancel the order cause they're not going to help you. Trash experience and a waste of withering time.

P.S. I only ordered a 5 pack so if you ordered more than that... well, good luck.

CI Customer Service stands behind the quality of their product

CI Customer Service quickly corrected an issue I had with a bad bundle of cigars. 80% of the cigars had split wrappers and were unsmokeable. This is the first time this has happened in the 10 years I've been ordering from them. After a few messages back and forth with CS, they decided to replace the bundle, and within 2 days I have a replacement bundle being sent to me before the end of their work day.

Absolute garbage customer service

Absolute garbage customer service took them two weeks to even get back to me on my order then everything I ordered want on backorder. 1st and only time I'll try to order from them.

This is one of the most unprofessional…

This is one of the most unprofessional companies I have come across. I ordered 9/12 cigars for a wedding gift. I have been contacting them and have been told many times that my order would be shipped the next day. I have talked to many CSR, consistently with lies. Finally talked to a supervisor (very nice) on 9/15, she stated that my order would be shipped out with next day priority for free. My order still hasn't shipped. Called 1st thing today no supervisor will come to the phone. Was told they would call in 30 mins., 3 hrs later and a call back they will call back in 15 mins. 1 1/2 hrs. later still no call.
I wish I had looked at the reviews before I ordered.

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.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! THEY...yes..they sent wrong cigars and I am still waiting for the correct sticks. I have been on hold for over 4 hours, sent emails, and been told they should arrive in a couple days more than two times. This was my first and last order with this company. HORRIBLE!

No customer service

No customer service. No communication except for automated emails. If there’s trouble with your shipment, good luck. If you want to cancel an order, too bad. This company doesn’t care at all about its customers.

Excellent! Unless they run out....

Cigars International has an excellent selection of cigars, great prices, and quick delivery. The only problem is that they are often sold out of some of the favorite sampler packs and other items that are excellent deals. They sell out very quickly. Customer service is excellent, also.

Cigars online

It offers a good selection of cigars and nice deals. I never had any problem with my orders so far. If you are looking for an online shop to get some cigars, it is a good place to go.
