The order and delivery were very smooth and straightforward. I love the packaging as it preserves the cigars very well. Cigars were incredibly smooth — earthy on the nose, caramel on the draw, and lea... See more

Hi Moribula, Please be aware that our business is not logistics. We do not own The Courier Guy and neither do we control their routes. We simply use them as our selected logistic company, as they are the fastest and most reliable courier company we have used in South Africa.

You have placed a total of 115 orders since 2020.
There is the SECOND time that The Courier Guy experienced delays with your order. All other 113 orders were delivered on time.

2 weeks ago I even sent you a hand crafted pen with the cigar brand you always order as a gift, and you didn’t even take time to say thank you.

However, 1 order gets delayed due to The Courier Guy and you rate us 1 star?

I find your rating is extremely unfair and damaging to our company and does not reflect our values we stand for as a business.

In future try and reach out to the companies by email or via a phone call before leaving a damaging review. We could have queried with the Courier guy the reason for the delay on your order, even though you get provided a tracking number and you can reach out directly to the courier company.

GREAT SERVICE GREAT PRODUCT!

1st: Speedy delivery service!
2nd: My friend loved his cigar. The fact that it was put in this cute wooden case, made it so much more special.

I will definitely order again to fill up his wooden cigar case.

Loved it!

Frequently order from Cigars.co.za and every order has been delivered on time (or even before).

My last order they notified me about a stick not being in stock and asked if they could replace it with another. To my surprise they replaced it with a cigar twice the cost, Pedro and team are exceptionally good at what they do!
