Order never delevired. Claim it was delivered during a blizzard but ring cameras never showed anyone around. They won't reship nor refund my order. I guess this is going to my credit card as a dispute... See more

Jr cigar 10x, 30x points scam

I order three boxes of cigars that were either 10x, or 20x and I didn’t get the points listed. I emailed they said to call. I called and a nice woman took the information and said she had to it to someone else to research, that was weeks ago.

the service is a nigthmare

the service is a nigthmare. I ordered for 314$ of cigars.
They asked for age verification. I'm a 60 yo Winter Texan from Canada. I gave my infos. They asked for a proof of ID. I sent my driver licence. They asked again. I sent both passports of my wife's and mine.
They asked again age verification for a third time.
All those questions took a week. I got mad and I cancelled my order via Paypal. Finally the refund was less that the amount I've paid. NEVER NEVER AGAIN.

I ordered almost $200 worth of cigars gor my husband for Christmas. It said it was delivered and did not receive them. I called and the only thing they could say was they need to review it and can take up to 14 days (maybe more because of holidays) to possibly get my money back. Couldn’t even offer replacement i would have to spend more money to order more.

I've been a cigar smoker for over 50…

I've been a cigar smoker for over 50 years. Most of those years ordering from J & R.
I have fond memories of "BS ing" with Lou Rothman in his little cigar shop in lower Manhattan.
I worked in an all male business with lots of cigar smokers.
Once the online NC site was up and running, we ordered literally 20-30 boxes of cigars at a time.
Of late, I can't express enough how disappointed I am with NEVER having any of the top quality cigars I smoke.
Site always says out of stock or back ordered. Update your web page because I'm able to get what I want from other sites.
J & R use to be one stop shopping.
Shame how it has deteriorated.

Disappointed

I’ve had some problems ordering from JR, but recently my order took several weeks to arrive at my vacation location and I missed the delivery. It was clearly their fault, yet my requests for a refund have been totally ignored. So they are losing a long time customer through a lack of service.

Please Avoid and go somewhere else

If I could give a lower score I would. They openly will sell you old and broken bad cigars in 5 packs or any kind of deal and it is buyer beware. No returns no anything I have now been stuck twice by them with old and bad cigars and I am not taking it anymore with them.

What a disaster JR Cigars has become

I have been purchasing cigars from JR for decades, and put up with all of their (problems) growing pains because they had great products, great prices, and promotions. When there were mistakes made, customer service always tried to make things right. NOT ANYMORE! If they make a mistake, they don't seem to care, and the customer pays for it. I'm looking for a new online cigar retailer, you should too.

Bait and switch tactics on pricing?

Bait and switch tactics on pricing?? I regularly purchase Honduran 6x 60 corjos for $102 unless jr has their 30% site sale. Then the price of the same cigars goes up to $152 pre 30% off. Seems to happen all the time.🤔

Lying about promotions

You guys lied about the free ashtray promotion. Just lying to get orders. Poor customer service both times i called. I will never do business with you again (im a vet) and i will make sure no other Vets order throgh you. How about honoring your promotions?

False advertisement

Signed up for emails and texts to receive 25% off. Put code in to redeem and it doesn't work. Tried to use code FLASH30 for 30%. Neither codes worked for redemption. SCAM to obtain my info but codes do not work. JOKE!

terrible customer service

on 6/11 i placed an order with jrcigar.
on 6/12 jr notified me it shipped via usps & provided tracking #

on 6/15 i checked usps website to get order status. order showed awaiting carrier pickup
inquiry to jr customer service was answered with wait 2-8 business days

have periodically checked usps website for any updates. there are none. as of 6/22 still showing as awaiting carrier pickup

asked jr cigar customer service today for status of order and told to wait for delivery.

they will not make any effort to find this order which usps says is not in their system

Been a multi year user of JR and have noticed a steady decline in quality. The last three purchases have been very disappointing in quality. Dry and cracked leaves was common. Thus became unsmokable Have decided to use a different provider very disappointed. Mark

JR, great service and a company you can definitely trust.

I have bought cigars from JR for the last ten years. I only had two issues in delivery date, which turn out to be out of their control. I live in Canada and when I come to the US, I only have 3to 4 days. I can trust JR to have my order delivered at the reception. I have always received friendly and cordial services from their Client Department. As for the quality of the cigars, I have never been disappointed!

I ordered cigars which got damaged in the post office. It was $144 for the cigars. They had it insured for $100 and they will not reimburse me the rest of the money. This is the worst company that I’ve ever seen in my life as far as Customer Service, and taken care of their customers
