The other thing is that, again, they may be "safe" to deal with but be terrible to deal with and that could be for a variety of reasons.

    Please allow me to throw Thompson Cigars under the bus one more time, because they deserve it. They have an A+ from the BBB. If you think you should buy from them, then we are opposed in our thinking as much as day and night. They have 142 complaints over the last 3 years yet have an A+ rating. They simply suck but one could still say they are "safe" to deal with. They have awful business practices that are already well documented on this board, even though this board is very new (which should tell you something).

    That all being said, I'm not advocating to move away from the retailer in question but I would go on the experiences from others here first and foremost before putting stock in a rating by the BBB. Just my 2 cents for whatever it's worth.
    Agreed about the BBB - I will say that I've bought from BCP for 3 or 4 years now. They've been around for 10 years I think. They've been solid for me to deal with each time.

    That's the kind of testimony that would lead to me having confidence in buying from them. No offense to the BBB as they do great work to protect consumers, but when it comes to cigars, I trust my brothers here much more.
