El Presidente Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 I have been asked if we have a relationship with Corporate Cigar. Let me unequivocably state that we do not. I would not take his phone call let alone sell him a box of cigars. I will be contacting PCC Monday to confirm whether the identical aged list which he has published has in fact been supplied to him by PCC.
shrink Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 Rob: Those who know you well don't have to ask that question, but it is good that you answered it for the record. There have been several threads recently on other boards about problems with a vendor "down under". It is regrettable that anyone might think it was CC. Don't worry, it's not just your shipments that are intact... so is your reputation.
genevapics Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 Like shrink stated, Cigar Czar's reputation is indeed intact! You, Lisa and Smithy are the heart and soul of Cigar Czar. Your dedication to customer service is what distinguishes the Czar from most other vendors. Trust me, when these threads appear, there are many Czarists that step up and voice their feelings regarding the integrity of Cigar Czar. Anyone that knows Cigar Czar understands that there is no relationship whatsoever with Corporate Cigar.
El Presidente Posted May 28, 2006 Author Posted May 28, 2006 Thanks Guys. I just wanted to make it absolutely crystal clear. I wish that I could legally say how I really feel.
n2advnture Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 » I wish that I could legally say how I really feel. Anyone that's been around for a while knows already based on their own experiences :-D
connoiseur29 Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 Rob and Lisa, we appreciate your hard work and dedication. All we have to do is sit back and let the cigars do the talking. Idle chatters who speak without thinking just make a$$e$ of themselves.
BigSlick Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 Thank you for your clarifications. There are many out there that lurk at other cigar forums and do their best to read between the lines when a vendor comes in question. Anyone that has dealt with you or Lisa knows that you guys are a class act. For me personally it does not matter what other vendors are doing. I found a home with you guys and plan to never stray as long as you will have me. Keep up the great work! TD
anacostiakat Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 Thanks for taking time to post this even though for me it is totally not necessary. I think at least I can guess at what you might comment if that were possible. Thanks again from one noob!
Loki Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 Rob you're a stand-up guy and run an honest business for anyone to think otherwise is just a load of horse $hit. How many internet customers can say that the owner of their cigar supplier has taken the time to come and meet its members in person? I think not many.
alchemize Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 Maybe he really has them in stock (but I doubt it) - doesn't matter I wouldn't order from him anyhow when I've got FoH/CC. Got my first shipment in recently and I'm now officially a loyal customer
DocRKS Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 My experience with Corporate Cigars: Quick to Bill ......... VERY Slow to Fill !!!!! Your credit card takes a hit seemingly before you get off their web site; then the wait begins...and you wait....and you wait.... It has been about 1.5 years since I ordered from them - it just got to be a silly way to go about and procure cigars. But when your cigar 'business' consists of a computer screen and an internet hook up like Copr. Cigars does and only then you go and chase down cigars folks may have ordered - there's really not that much more to expect...:-(
habanohal Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 No worries Rob. I think I can speak for most when I say that most wont ever deal with CC again. And I would say it is well known through the BB' that you are the real deal. (edited)

Rob, I never had a moment's doubt that this was the case. I did some probing with a thread on VCC because there is one other vendor "down under" that I would buy from (but never have). Due dilligence is our individual responsibility but knowing what I know about Corporate (from a variety of sources) I suspected the issue likely involved them. People often talk about their "trusted sources" and how they never even bother to examine or verify their orders. I had never experienced even close to that level of confidence with a vendor (both the man/woman as well as the shop) until I found FOH. Vive la Czar! Wilkey
El Presidente Posted May 29, 2006 Author Posted May 29, 2006 I can confirm that PCC has indeed supplied Corporate with the stock list that has been published. I just want to re-affirm that we have no relationship with Corporate.
Colt45 Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 I usually stay away from these type of threads. I don't pretend to know the Czar Crew, or any of the posting members, but I think I have a decent enough idea of the character here. Perhaps their livliehood/reputation is on the line, so to speak, but personally, I find what may be inferred on other boards, possibly regarding CZ, irrelevent. I also get the feeling that they probably don't give a rat's ass - I'm sorry, arse. On the flip side, I have heard that Lisa is a user of foul language, and that Smithy doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom.
shrink Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 Smithy doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom. That's Rob's policy. At least Czar's cigars have that authentic "barnyard" aroma, instead of the fragrant, soapy taste that some have mentioned! :-|
El Presidente Posted May 29, 2006 Author Posted May 29, 2006 I will let him see it when he is back tomorrow ;-)
Ginseng Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 » On the flip side, I have heard that Lisa is a user of foul » language... Am I missing something? She's always so polite and demure on chat. :-D Wilkey
Van55 Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 I have posted on the thread at CigarWeekly how wrong I think it is for them to let that lengthy thread stand without identifying the offending vendor as Steve at Corporate Cigars. It's a disservice to all other "down under" vendors to allow that. If course I phrased my post in such a way that anyone with a brain will see that I identified "Corporate" as the culprit.:-D
Freefallguy Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 » recently on other boards about problems with a vendor "down under". You mean there are other vendors shipping Habanos to the states? Really? Why would anyone even consider looking elsewhere?
pittesq Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 As you can see from the posts Rob you have no concerns from anyone here. Your services are top notch! And no one doubts your product, reputation or integrity.
Smokin Bulldog Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 While I have never met you in person ( maybe one day) I have tremendous faith in your reputation and in you as a supplier.
josie67 Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 » While I have never met you in person ( maybe one day) I have tremendous » faith in your reputation and in you as a supplier. Ditto. That is why you are (and have been for the last year) my only source!!
