Thank you! Eight orders in less than two days - a pleasant surprise! (was expecting much more skepticism from the Bitcoin community to be sincere). Seems like Bitcoin is truly taking off! Cheesy

Waiting for first feedback

I once polled about the viability of a service like yours but I was advised against it for both legal issues and low demand. In that, I hope tht if you are in fact doing things legally and above board, that your business is a thriving success. Also, I hate smokers, smoking and the attitude that it's okay to do, but I do love me some bitcoin businesses.

Why is your profile photo fake btw?

Is it legal for you to mail cigs internationally? I think I've seen this issue addressed on the forums before.

Well, it is certainly not illegal

It's a complicated business with it's twists.

@NothinG - We don't have these yet unfortunately. Try Kent Convertibles - they're pretty much the same *squeeze the filter for menthol taste* thing.

@Matthew - Thanks for the feedback. It is me personally who is in the online tobacco business for 5 years (i.e. warehouse, customer support - 2 people employed, good reputation in the eyes of the postal office, processing companies and customers) - it's the domain name and the 'brand' that are new. Yes, maybe there is a bit of bluff involved, but it is certainly not a lie. I am now in the process of converting all my other (4 in total) websites to accepting Bitcoins as well (first one registered in 2006). The reason for having a couple of shops instead of just one is purely a SEO one (different keywords, different countries), in case you wonder. Same explanation goes for the "About Us" page - the website is brand new. Concerning the template for the OpenCart open-source cart, it is not free actually, and even if it was, it still looks nice in my opinion!

Thanks for clearing it up mate. I have a nose and I can't deny it when it tells me something smells funny, that's all. ^_-

@terrytibbs - yes, the Facebook profile is fake. And the online sale of cigarettes is a shady business.

@OP: don't let me get you sidetracked from your business too much, but why does your website say you've been in business 5 years and yet your domain is only 6 months old? I'm sure there is a perfectly good explanation but as your 'About us' page is under construction, your site is an OpenCart page with a free theme (e.g. Not much invested into your business) and your registration information is hidden giving only a potentially bogus residential address in London, I can't say it nevessarily helps build any trust on the side of the consumer.

Keep up the good work (even though I detest smoking, I respect businesses that start from nothing and find success)!

I think its great that we have all of these smoke shops accepting bitcoins but when are we going to have a good cigar shop. I would pay greatly for some good cigars that you cant find in the states. I understand the problem of the long shipping time and keeping them fresh but surely there is a way.

How about you make the site convert the price from euros to bitcoins on the checkout?

There is a currency drop-down near the search field (the very top of the page). You can choose Bitcoins as your checkout currency there.

How am I supposed to know how much in bitcoins is €24.40? If that's so I'll tell you that for me BTC 1 == EUR 50, so I owe you BTC 0.50 per my calculations. Is that right? lol
