So, as mentioned in some other damn thread, I made an order from Small Batch using the code Raztilla. The idea being that I get 10% off PLUS a Ratzilla. Order showed up in less than 48 hours, but no Raztilla. Honestly, I didn't care much. I figured they were out.

Because I've become a cigar junkie, I made a second order from Small Batch a week later and used the code Ratzilla (why not?) and again it worked.

I mentioned this to some Brothers and they all said, contact Small Batch, they'll make it right.

Yesterday I emailed, and Andrew wrote me back within 10 minutes saying he'd check into it -- they keep track of what they mail out.

Today: Yup, they made an error and they just sent me two Ratzillas.

Very impressive customer service.

I've bought from small batch a handful of times. Always fast shipping and great service from them.

Andrew and Ben are on top of things.

My last large order with them had four drumsticks I forgot to officially add but while we were talking on the phone I mentioned wanting them. I got my link, had order placed, forgot about the drum sticks. They showed up as tag alongs when the box arrived, for free!!!

Out of curiosity, why were you on the phone with them? As opposed to just ordering online?

Because it was a large custom order. You can order whatever you want from them in whatever quantities you want as long as over $100. They will build you whatever sampler you want.

Because I was planning a ridiculous order they called to verify some things, talk price total and savings, and because they're awesome. Also informed me something I wanted was already sold and we discussed replacement etc. They then build the order, send a custom link only I could view, then I go online and place order :)

Short answer, because their customer service is excellent.

Who actually owns Small Batch? Is it the online extension of a B&M retailer or online only? Thanks.

It's the same folks who run Maxamar Ultimate Cigars in Orange, CA. So, I guess it is an extension of a B&M...or is the B&M an extension of SmallBatch? The world may never know...
