Good price for some excellent names. I'm already a big fan of Rocky Patel; it's great to get a couple Alec Bradley to try (big, delicious flavor, sit down while smoking these). The Paloma and Cusano are very good as well.

There are so many cigars to choose from, so I enjoyed trying this one because it is a collection of quality every day cigars. I've been taking note of the ones I like and dislike. If you don't know what the standard is in cigars this sample will help you set a baseline, or if you want a good deal on some nice cigars you can't beat the price.

We are very pleased. I bought two samplers for buddies that helped us with some construction. Both were amateur cigar smokers. After a few of those beauties they are hooked.

If you're looking around for a very good and budget-friendly exclusive smoke, check out the El Artista Fumas cigars.
These are Thompson Cigar exclusives, budget-friendly cigars featuring high-end touches like Habano wrappers and Dominican mixed-fillers and binder. It's a medium cigar with a kick at the finish, available in the Churchill, Torpedo, or Toro size, and designed to appeal to both a beginning smoker and someone with a more refined palate.
Thompson makes a lot of excellent cigars, and you can't go too far wrong with any of the Thompson brand cigars. But if you're looking for a new everyday smoke, the El Artista Fumas cigars are one of the best bets I can suggest. When they're on sale (as they are right now), you can get them for less than $1.50 per stick, and they taste like cigars with bigger names on the band that sell for three or four times the price.
The artistry that goes into the making of the El Artista Fumas is something to behold. Try one, and you'll be sold. As with everything else you can buy online at Thompson Cigar, that is guaranteed.
If you're the type of person who likes to buy cigars online -- and I'm guessing that you are, or you wouldn't be here -- make sure you check out the link that says "Exclusive Cigar Brands." These are the smokes you can't find anywhere else online. Obviously this includes all the Thompson brand cigars, but you'd be surprised at what else you can only get here. The massive Fat Boy cigars, for example, are a Thompson exclusive. So are the Big Dog cigars, the mild-medium blend from Victor Sinclair's Jose Dominguez. And so are the Rocky Patel Gold, Rocky Patel Maduro, and Rocky Patel Cameroon cigars.
There are cigars from big-name producers and those who are more unknown, factory seconds and second-to-nones. All are only for sale here, and all have the benefit of being great values thanks to the huge Thompson Cigar discount.
So before you place your regular order, take a minute or five to browse the list of Exclusive Cigar Brands. I guarantee that you'll be pleasantly surprised by what you find there.
Here's a dirty little secret -- when I go to the track, a lot of times I'll place my bet on the horse with the coolest name. I have all the speed figures and track ratings, and enough data-driven analysis to put together a PowerPoint on the best ways to bet, but horse racing is as much mystery as it is science. Sometimes I can't resist letting the whimsical, mystical side of me win out over the logical side, and my success rate isn't bad. I remember betting on a horse called "Scoop the Car" brought beer money for everyone one Saturday night in college, for example. I have to admit, that focus on names is what drew me to La Bamba cigars. I remember loving the move "La Bamba," which starred Lou Diamond Phillips as Ritchie Valens, the 1950s singer who died tragically in the plane crash immortalized in Don MacLean's "American Pie." The song was a radio staple in the 1980s, and even though I didn't know what the words meant at the time, I had the lyrics memorized. So when I saw that Thompson offered these cigars, I had to try them out.
And you know what? They're pretty good. They mix Dominican tobacco and a Sumatra wrapper to produce a really good mild-medium smoke for about $1.50 per cigar. And they come in five sizes: Churchill, Lonsdale, Robusto, Toro and Torpedo.
This is one of Thompson's exclusive cigar brands, so you won't find them anywhere else. They are definitely worth a try, whether you pick your cigars by quality or by name.
If you're looking to get a nice cross-section of premium cigars at a fantastic price, you owe it to yourself to check out the Exclusive Seven Sampler. Thompson Cigar didn't get the name for this one by picking words out of a hat. Each of the cigars chosen is a top-rated stick that is coveted by cigar-lovers everywhere. You get one Cohiba cigar, one Bolivar cigar, one Rocky Patel cigar, one Cuesta-Rey cigar, one Arturo Fuente cigar, one Gurkha cigar, and one Elite cigar. If you were to go out to your local cigar shop and buy each of these separately, it would probably cost you around $80, plus it would take a lot of valuable time.
If you buy them here, on the other hand, the seven cigars will run you less than $30. That's not a misprint. For the price of dinner out at your local chain restaurant, you get seven of the best cigars available delivered right to your door to be smoked at your leisure. Which option is going to provide the most enjoyable experience?
And remember, the holidays are approaching. This makes a great gift as well, especially for the novice smoker in your life. The Exclusive Seven Sampler is a great opportunity for that person to taste a cross-section of premium brands without spending a lot of money to do so, a valuable experience as they discover their individual tastes. But whether it's for you or for yourself, don't wait until late December to purchase these -- they're a good bet to go quickly, given the ideal combination of quality and price.
As the father of two young children, I don't get out on the golf course as much as I used to. When I do, it's usually with my father-in-law, who takes the game very seriously and rarely has the time to smoke cigars and shoot the breeze, especially if he isn't making his putts on that particular day.
But last Saturday, a bunch of us arranged a reprieve at one of our favorite local courses -- two foursomes with early tee times and a few hours of peace and quiet. Such an occasion deserves nothing less than a fine cigar or two to help make the time even more enjoyable.
Being the cigar guy among us, I felt compelled to provide the smokes. I went with two choices. I brought the Big Brand Exclusive Sampler for the front nine, because they're fun and they gave people a choice of what to smoke. And I added a box of the Cohiba Robusto Cameroon for the 19th hole, to make lunch last a little bit longer and delay the time until the joyful chaos of the home life resumed.
Roman Ripoll’s first playground was the tobacco field and that hasn’t changed much even years later. These days Roman is the Director of Sales and Marketing at the Tabaqueria de Filipinas and has personally been doing business with Thompson Cigar for over 20 years. Roman stopped by our office in Tampa, Florida and was courteous enough to sit down for an exclusive interview. Watch the video below to find out what exclusive Thompson Cigar brands the Tabaqueria de Filipinas manufactures and what Thompson house brand reminds many customers of a much more costly Acid cigar!

When you talk about Acid Cigars, you might have to do some quick explaining if you're overheard by someone who's not a cigar smoker. Here's what you need to know about these popular smokes to avoid sounding like someone who might be smoking something made up of less respectable materials.
The thirty-second description of Acid Cigars is that they're Nicaraguan cigars made by Drew Estate that are infused with different flavors and aromas that enhances the smoking experience for those who like the extra taste of flavored cigars. They're not just flavored cigars, however -- they're filled with really good tobacco and crafted with care, standing on their own as quality sticks unlike some of the cheaper brand cigars.
If you're interested in Acid Cigars, try the Acid Cold Infusion Tea Connecticut Lonsdale Infused. It's a Thompson Cigar exclusive that blends the pleasures of an infused cigar with the high quality of top-notch tobacco. And it never hurts to have some Acid Fat Tip cigars handy -- you might be surprised at how popular they are. If you like tipped cigars, or know anyone who does, it pays to have some around your humidor.
John Gonzalez, Don Pepin's VP of Sales, was at Thompson Cigar's corporate office in Tampa last week and was kind enough to sit down for an exclusive interview. Mr. Gonzalez was fresh back from the IPCPR 79th Annual Convention and International Trade Show in New Orleans and had some new brands that he was excited to talk about! At the IPCPR they featured three new brands, My Father LTD Edition, Jamie Garcia and La Reloba. Watch the video below to learn more about the history of the three new Don Pepin cigar brands. The video also features information about some potential Don Pepin My Father cigars that will hopefully be available before the end of this year!
