My cigars came safe and sound it’s just that one was a bit cracked during shipping which is no one’s fault but a great experience nonetheless.

Thank you for your review Jaco, as per phone conversation I do understand the frustration when this happens. After 2 Months of receiving the order it’s hard to pin point exactly when they hatched, however I’m looking forward to meet you as discussed and chat further! We are here to help!

Exactly what I expected

Delivery was quick and I was updated every step of the way. The reason I didn't vote 5 stars is because usually other companies I've purchased from would give their first time customers a 10% discount or a small freebie. This was not the case with cigars.co.za. However the quality of the cigars are good and I'll be purchasing from them again.

Thank you so much for the review Sean, highly appreciate it!! We do have a discount structure in place, but unfortunately we don’t give a straight 10% discount on first orders =) Thank you for the suggestion!

5 Star Experience

I am really impressed with these guys. At first, I was extremely skeptical to just buy cigars online so I only ended up buying 4 sticks to get free shipping. To my surprise, the cigars were at my door a few hours later, well packaged with a free boveda pack included.

I did end up ruining one cigar because I lit it up immediately after arrival and it was over humidified, but that’s more my fault than theirs. The cigars were in perfect condition otherwise. Will definitely be buying more from these guys as soon as my humidor space starts freeing up! Thanks for the great service cigars.co.za!

Thank you so much for the great review Michael! Unfortunately SA tobacco tax is not very friendly. Just as an example if a cigar costs 1 USD (box of 20 robustos) just the tobacco tax alone is around 2500 ZAR .. that’s excluding logistic and VAT..
