Did Famous get hacked?

Remains to be seen but I seldom pay over original bid price for anything. If it's popular it keeps coming around. I noticed some of the Diamond Crown stuff gets a lot of bids and the prices get driven up
People might be pissed if they don't give them another week on consolidated shipping orders

Same thing here. I couldn't get on their site yesterday or this morning.

Atlantic has always done me right.I have been having problems with their auction site for months. 522 error, 514 error, etc. I sent them multiple emails about it, no fix. Been hanging out at Atlantic instead
Atlantic has always done me right, but Famous has never done me wrong. I think they have to many limits on their discount codes, but that is about my only complaint.
On the other hand, has anybody seen a discount code for Atlantic?
Atlantic’s discount code is the VIP membership. If you buy boxes it’s almost impossible to beat. If you buy 5 packs, 10 packs or singles you won’t see nearly as much value unless it’s a special sale.
Atlantic has regular pricing, direct pricing, and VIP. Each level is a discount. VIP is a steal for boxes, as mentioned. I fluctuate between Direct, and VIP status depending on whether I have room in my humidors for more boxes. I didn't pay anything to get Direct pricing. I think they give it to you after you purchase a certain amount from them. But, I dunno. If I let my VIP subscription lapse, my account reverts to Direct pricing automatically.

Famous has always done great for me as well. As long as I've been buying from Atlantic I've never seen any discount codes for them.
What kind of deals you talking with the VIP package. Cigar auctioneer kinda prices? I haven’t seen anything cheaper than the auction site prices. If I found something at that level of pricing I’d pay the membership fee in a heartbeat to not have to deal with the auction hassle.

CA has great pricing on a lot of boxes, and fivers. Atlantic offers a lot of stuff that you just don't see on CA. To see the VIP pricing on the Atlantic website, you have to be a VIP. They don't show the VIP price unless you pay the $60 and become a member. I am not a VIP right now, but I was subscribed from June 2020 to June 2021 and saved a lot of money on boxes during that time. I recouped the subscription fee with the first two boxes I bought. I would estimate a 20% price reduction over Direct pricing, on average. But, that's a guess.
If you buy boxes of premium cigars, the VIP is the way to go.
Also, the free shipping kicks in at $150 instead of $199 if you're VIP. But, if you're buying boxes, it doesn't really matter.
I just realized I get direct pricing if I sign on to Atlantic. The saving is between $2 and $100 on a box depending on the brand and size. Singles are $0.50 - $3.00 less per stick.
