The newest contender

So the next website I tried out was www.cheap-cig.com. I found that the more I move down the list the harder it is to find feedback in accordance to the website services and prices but I did manage to find a few reviews:
  • http://www.killerstartups.com/review/cheap-cig-com-online-cigarettes-store/
  • http://www.cheapcigarettesshop.com/reviews/cheap-cig/
  • http://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.cheap-cig.com
Of course even with shining reviews the proof is in the pudding, so I went through the usual paces. I went to website, sent an test email to see response time and called the customer service number to see if an actual human being might be found at the other end of the fiber optic. In my email I asked for a selection of their most affordable cigarettes, average shipping time and customer support number. I was very surprised when later that day I opened up my emails and saw that I already had my response. The list of affordable cigarettes I was sent included Monte Carlo, Viceroy (which I remember from the 70s but have never seen them since), the Best Man (brand which the other website carried also), King brand and Golden Gate cigarettes. I was very happy to find that these smokes where under $20 a carton.

I called the number that was included and after it rang for a while and it went to an automated telephone service, I left a message and browsed the website for a few minutes. After a just 5 minutes I received a call:
"Hello sir, I am calling on behalf of Cheap-cig the online cigarette store, I'm sorry we missed your call but we were busy with other customers. How can I help you today?"
To be honest I was taken aback I really wasn't expecting anyone to call I thought that they just had the automated telephone service to seem legit.
"Well yes! Thanks for calling me back, I just had a few question..."
I asked him the usual questions about the generic brand of cigarettes, the shipping times and the form of payment. The customer service representative was more than happy to answer all my questions even when I misunderstood and kept asking about the brand of the King cigarettes and he kept say 'King sir' because I thought he was referring to the length.

So finally with all my ducks in a row I decided to try the Golden Gate cigarettes which the customer service agent assured me is a very quality affordable brand of cigarette that is very popular amongst their customers. This website also accepts e-check like the previous one I reviewed. I was surprised to find out that the e-check is such a secure form of payment that the U.S. government uses it for payroll, payment of fines and government loans. So I placed my order and waited for about three weeks. When the cigarettes arrived I open the very well sealed package to reveal the immaculate packs of cigarettes inside. I have to say that the C.S. agent wasn't lying this was a phenomenal cigarette for the price. I actually gave a few of my family and friends a pack of two and they really enjoyed them also!

So overall this a nice cigarette for the price, the service was good and the shipping was comparable to the previous website I reviewed. Very pleased overall another winner for the list.

  1. Are you paying over $5 / pack of cigarettes? I buy all my cigs from Duty Free Depot and I save over 60% on cigs.
