Thompson Cigar has been around for a good while, mainly serving the American market but shipping to the UK and Europe too. They specialise in cigars, of course, but also sell related gear like humidors, cutters, lighters, and cigar cases. It's the sort of place where you can pick up everything from budget-friendly cigar bundles to more refined single sticks. For those who like a bit of variety, they stock brands from big names like Rocky Patel and Macanudo as well as lesser-known labels that often fly under the radar.
People shopping here tend to be a mix of hobbyists and casual smokers wanting a decent deal or a particular brand that's harder to find locally. The site can feel a bit dated, and the navigation isn’t the slickest, but the prices often make up for it. Shipping times to the UK vary, so it’s not the place for last-minute gifts. Still, if you’re patient and enjoy exploring cigars without the markup of your local tobacconist, Thompson Cigar holds its own. Customer service gets mixed reviews, so it’s worth keeping an eye on your order status.
