I made an order from Thompsons back in 2013 when I was getting back into smoking. It was just a little 6 cigar sampler for $20. I started getting the catalogs, then I got a couple of phone calls asking if I wanted to join the auto-mail club. I said no, and haven't ordered from them since. I still got the catalogs, but then they sort of tapered off a few months ago. I was reading this thread when it started, and thinking "I haven't received a Thompson's catalog in awhile..." guess what was in my mailbox last night? A friggin Thompson's catalog.
