  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

So I bought the Pete Johnson Sampler off of Cigar Monster when they ran the special. It had 5 sticks in it, the best one being a Cojonu 2006. I got the cigars from UPS yesterday and the box looked like they used it to play soccer. Fearing that my sticks had been damaged I open it up and find that the ones in Cello seemed to be ok but the Cojonu was messed up pretty good. I called up Famous to resolve the issue telling them I don't need the whole package replaced, just the stick. Famous tells me that they cannot replace the stick as they have no more in stock so what they will offer is to refund me 1/5 of the purchase price or about $4.60. I do not think this is fair as all the other sticks in the package was nowhere near the value of the Cojonu and really that is the one I wanted most. I talked to 2 people over there and thier response was pretty much the same. Either I can take the money or they can refund it all and have the UPS pick up everything and refund it all. As a salesman I find this as poor customer service. They did not care about working with me, it was either that or nothing, plain and simple. This is beginning to leave a sour taste in my mouth. Anyone else ever have a problem with them?

They are a vendor here and I am sure that whatever they offer you is fair.

it's a quandry. if they can't replace the cojo with another, i guess i'd just send the whole thing back and get something else.

I got the sampler at the event. I agree the '06 was the best of the sticks. I've bought some '06's at their shop & they certainly don't cost anywhere near $4.60.

Hmm... ok. Well, no sense in that, if it's going to cost him double the price of the cigar. I was just trying to get the man a "good and proper" Conjonu stick!

Send me your order info. I'll look into it and get you a reasonable resolution.

Via PM or email is fine.

Got a call from the customer service manager today. She had a family thing so it took a little to get back to me but she told me she would have a Cojonu on its way to me so I am happy! Thanks to those who offered me one.
