The company took my money and never sent me anything for their Cigar of the Month. They did not refund me either. Buyer beware!

Good prices but it takes forever to get cigars from you compared to the other shops I buy from. Also Two times I have sent a note asking you to stock more of the regular cigar I smoke and have never... See more

I have become a believer.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a favorite cigar (The Big Johnny by Oscar Valladares) at the Cuenca Cigar website. The site is customer friendly and placing my order was a cinch. Delivery was exactly as stated so I will be a regular customer with them. Thanks.

Cuenca Cigars makes e-commerce feel like a brick and mortar tobacconist!

I was searching online for Victor Calvo cigars, and stumbled across Cuenca Cigar's page. The vast selection and competitive prices intrigued me, so I registered with them. Their response and communication have made me feel like family, so I ordered a box of the VCs, which I understand are enroute. I look forward to more business with Ana and her staff in Hollywood, FL!

I had been looking for a hard to find…

I had been looking for a hard to find cigar, and the website indicated it was in stock so i ordered it ( this wasnt the cheapest option, but the website made it sound like they had them in stock and i didnt want to wait). I ordered them on Jan 30th, 2 weeks went by and still awaiting shipment. Received an email from them stating they would be mailed out the following week, and as an apology would send 5 extra cigars. The next week came and still awaiting shipment, its now Feb 19th, and still no cigars. I understand these are limited edition, but indicate that it is a back ordered item, and then dont email me and tell me you are sending them in the next week and dont. I needed these for a cigar event Im hosting on Feb 21st, I wont be able to have these now. Set realistic expectations, if you tell me you are sending them, then send them. Called twice and left messages, and emailed once, no reply. From other posts on here meeting shipping seems to be an issue. *****update**** on 2/19 finally got ahold of someone and was told that they would ship next week, over a month after I ordered them. I advised them that if an item is not in stock list them as back order not v as available had this been done I would have gone elsewhere. If You Order Cal First And Make Sure They Actually Have Them.

Marcus, that item is in Pre-Order status. Expected release date is Sep 01, 2017. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do. It says Pre-Order the day you ordered them. We usually call everybody to make sure they are aware. Didn't you get any phone call? We can reimburse you if you don't want to wait. But that is the only thing we can do. These cigars are Limited Edition and people want to reserve them.... That is why we allow the customers to purchase them.... Hope you don't stay mad at us.

No, I'd never order from here again or recommend. There are so many good cigar web stores out there. Its competitive, but, I'd be happy paying more to get decent ship times. A week of waiting before it even ships is very bad these days. Might be great people, but they have to get with the times. Its a shame too, because I like helping out the smaller businesses out there and I normally pay a little more just to help them out.

Michael, first of all, thanks for letting us know what happened with your order. We had a small issue with various Tins we were selling for a very low price and we received an overwhelming demand. These cigars, for example, sold everywhere for $116 we had a Price Mark at $99. When people discovered this we got like 25 orders in a day. Unfortunately, we run out the cigars and had to reorder them. Thanks for helping smaller business like us. We appreciated very much.

The website said the cigars were in stock, but they actually had to be ordered from the manufacturer.

I might not have ordered if I knew there was going to be a wait.

Hi Tim, really sorry for the delayed shipment. As you are aware those cigars are Limited Production cigars. We get them every week straight from La Flor Dominicana Warehouse, but we only get a box or two.... Sorry, my friend. I promise I will make a note on the website. Thanks for being our supporter. We truly appreciate yours business!

Misleading advertising

I didn't know these were on backorder until after I paid for them. Your website was misleading.

Richard. Those cigars are new releases from the IPCPR 2017. They are coming out in a week or two. We are getting them on the website so people can Pre-Order. My mistake is that I did put the pre-order status but I forgot to change the in stock message. it is an extra work I have to do and I forgot. Really sorry for this. I will email you on Monday with an ETA and you can decide then. Sorry.

First Time Buyer Here ( Order# 6639 )

Wondering if I am first buyer at Cuenca Cigar, placing order from Taiwan. Haha....

Placed order and was put on pending, due to several security issues ( since placing order from oversea ). But was able to spoke to Ana, and she was really nice able to assist helping to complete the entire order process.

Cigars we orders was not in stock, instead Ana upgrade to same line of cigar but more expensive size without any additional costs. Which was really appreciated, will always remember that.

I have already given my recommendation to all my buddies from California, to ask them give Cuenca Cigars an opportunity to order their next cigar shipment.

Looking forward to placing my next order with you.

Thank You Much Ana.
