The Official Cigar Deals Thread

I just spoke with Hajina at Mikes and she said it's over. Offered some crappy Monte sampler instead....:angryteet

i'm gonna be pissed if they send me something else! my order states i got the aurora's...

 

[musicman]

The word is they are subbing the LA for some Monty's......booooo

 

[jgaeta]

the deal was removed from the site all together.

 

[hdroadglide]

yeah, i got an email confirmation, but doesn't list contents. it's gonna get returned if it isn't as ordered.

 

[jwintosh]

yep! just checked the confirmation email and it doesn't list it. i also check my online account and it doesn't show an order.... hmmmm.......

 

[dpricenator]

Time for some phone calls.

 

[jwintosh]

ring-a-ding ding

 

[jwintosh]

crap! "oh, we ran out of the la auroras. we can give you a nice collectible box of montecristos...." cancelled order. she did have a cute accent though!!

 

[jgaeta]

wow that stinks...

 

[smokinghole]

So after seeing all the recent promotions on these LAs it seems the strategy has flopped a bit. The price was just too high. I did like picking some up in $100 box split. They smell great btw.

Sweet deal on defiance cigars, buy a box and get a free zebra xikar cutter!

[jwintosh]

good deal! free cutter!!

The email said a BOX of La Aurora Pura Vintage...and in the text of the email it lists the MSRP of the freebie as $200. I attached the jpeg...

I ordered at like 11am...everything went through. I got a call a little bit ago stating that they were out of the La Auroras and would I like a set of Montecristo KNIVES...really, knives? What a joke. They could have at least offered to substitute something comparable. Order canceled.

My first and last order from that place.

MIKESCIGARS= Douchebags!!!!

MIKESCIGARS= Douchebags!!!!

i agree. they should def. honor the promotion no matter what. if you were able to order it at the time, you should get what you ordered. if only we lived in a perfect world where the customer is always right, haha.

 

[hdroadglide]

it was really hard to pass up the montecristo knives......................:angerFU:

They should have at least offered to substitute something comparable...LA Cien Anos or Preferidos, or some other ultra super premium. If they have such a poor website setup that they can't tell you when something is out until several hours later, that's their problem!

It's going to bite them, there is a lot of competition out there and now they have a black mark in the book--not only for those who ordered today, but everyone we know.

Yeah, definitely. If it were just a typo I could understand it, but from that email it's obvious that they knew what they were offering. This is a classic bait-and-switch.

 

[smokinghole]

To think I was about to buy some Mayorga cigars from them. Scratch that.

That is against the law, and if you guys really care, you can contact the Better business bureau.
