They have stopped as of the last few weeks and have already responded to US customers that they are upgrading the way they ship

It's one thing to be stupid, it's dangerous for a stupid person to think he's smart
There is such a thing as a "special kind of stupid"

Someone posted on a different forum that he had chatted recently with Rony, who stated that Promo is looking for a different shipping solution to the US.
I did notice that the Promo website now says that due to the ongoing pandemic, expect delivery in 15 to 40 working days "for a few countries." That sounds a lot like regular mail service instead of courier.

What you stated is correct and what others have received in response as well.

Funny, I found myself asking the same question a couple of days ago, after not thinking about them for years

Still very reliable vendor. Use them regularly when their prices are good. Some great vintage stuff there.

Steer clear IMO of Promocigar...
They were once a great source known as Keep Lighting, but long ago they started shipping fakes and word got around so they changed their name to Promocigar.
They one time suddenly had in stock 1998 Fundedores that were sold out for many years. I was suckered into getting a box and they were quite literally the worst smoke I've ever had. I kid you not, like a rubber tire! Rough, super dark wrappers. So so bad. I threw them out, all 23 and a 3/4 of them.
I haven't used them since then but that was 15 years ago so who knows, MAYBE they've changed? I just won't take the chance myself.

I've never had bad stuff or heard of bad stuff from Promo. To the guy above, did you ask for a refund?

If they indeed sold fakes, 95% of all the FB flippers would be in big trouble - and it would have been caught.
I have handled hundreds of their boxes in the past few years and not one had any issues with authenticity whatsoever.

[/quote]Same here. A fair number of people on different forums use them and said they are legit.
Just got a box of Partagas Maduro No.3's a couple weeks ago and they were as great as I remember and looked correct.

Of course I called him out on the dirt-shit dog rocket fake 98 Fundedores. I got crickets.
Another time I got three boxes of Bolivar PCs that were essentially dowels. When I asked him about it he says "Keep track of how many are bad and I'll give you credit on your next order." Not good service IMO.
Like I said in another thread, I still have some fantastic sticks from him from the 2000s. Good times before it went south for me.
Anyway, I'm glad you're all happy with his service. I just won't take the chance anymore.
