Anyone ever bought from la tienda del habano?
https://latiendadelhabano.com/product-category/cigars

Just want to see if they are legit,  and how their products,  shipping times, processing times, and customer service are.

Thanks in advance,
Sean

I would run from this place.  Their inventory of hard-to-find sticks is unbelievable one of the best in the world right now based on their website.  And they list themselves on their contact page as La Casa Del Habano which they aren't.    In general, Spain doesn't allow e-commerce tobacco sales so that is also a red flag.

[/quote]Thanks.  Appreciate the info I hadn't really noticed.

I will heed your advice and stay away from them.

I have a fair number of well vetted,  good vendors to use, just always on the lookout for more

With the shortages of reloading supplies in the shooting world these days we see the same kind of popups.  Inventory that nobody else has, at prices that are good to great.  Everyone has an untraceable physical address and only takes electronic payment methods that will offer you zero chance of recovery when they jet.

Anyone using PE lately?  Give a report card? 
I haven't used in some time and was curious how they are doing.

Haven’t used them for 4+ years. Their CS and quality had slid quite a bit from when Bjrock owned them and they were in Canary Islands

So, I'm just getting back into the game after my son showed an interest. I used to order a lot of El Dentes from Gib and I also ordered from Keep Lighting.

At some point, one of these vendors started a new site, Promo. I cant, for the life of me, remember when or why that happened.  Anyway, currently my main resource is Promo and Im considering trying to utilize Gib...if they still have my account open. 

Any updated info on either one of these retailers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-J
