Their site is moving at a snails pace and I am trying to order 4 boxes for my wedding cigar bar before the taxes kick in! Grrrr...:-)

I on there now - it is indeed slow.

My word... I guess so! I couldn't hardly get anywhere on there site.

Sitting here at the B&M all day there has been a lot of cash and carry traffic especially with the roll your own customers.

I would imagine :-)

If I used the stuff I think I would have bough a truck load.

I smoke a pipe and stocked up on 4 pounds of the daily stuff.

I know the increase is not much but hey I'm going to smoke it, have the place to store it and the funds so I did my part to stimulate the economy. Oh yea and then there are the 2 vinos and a cooler full of cigars :-)

I can imagine the rush. I did my stocking up last week. As much as I could justify. I've had to resist all day, because, well....IT'S THE LAST DAY!
[Reply]

Just made my last order before schip. Cooler and vino should be fully stocked now. And yes, CI is very slow atm.
[Reply]

Kinda surprised I didn't get beaucoup emails from places today, but maybe they figured they didn't need to seeing as D-Day was 1 day away!
[Reply]

Their website is slow because they are busy increasing their prices. Bastards
[Reply]

Yup, slow. Went over to buy a box of Padron before April Fool's and they are sold out! Holt's had them for ten bucks more Grrrrrr.

i just got home and was about to post the exact same thing,... must be that Damn Schip....
[Reply]

yep.

My understanding was that companies had to have their tax increases applied by tomorrow. Most of the places by me have already increased their prices for a few weeks now. On CI they even say they are going to try to swallow most of the tax anyway. So what's the rush?
[Reply]

WOW. CI is ungodly slow right now...
[Reply]

Not to hijack or beat a dead horse but when this all started I thought it was on the "wholesale level"?

So wouldn't the new tax only apply to cigars they buy after midnight tonight?

Just curious

Chas

Never mind I just went back and looked it up
[Reply]

I placed an order with them this morning and it was a little sluggish even then, but nothing like it is now.
[Reply]

Pretty sure they were open last week. :-)
[Reply]

Wow.... I can't look at anything right now.... Its is soooooooooo slow.
[Reply]

I'd like to register a complaint against CI -I sat down with their latest catalog and looked through it to see that the price of the Gurkha Sherpa went form 40.00 a bundle to 50.00 a bundle... WTF???
[Reply]

I could really care less if CI is slow or not. Purchased a box of Padilla Habanas earlier in the month, a good boatload of my favorite Taboo's from Rob last week, and a bundle of Connies 5x54's from JR's a couple of days ago with no problems on their web site:-)
