This is part of a job listing on indeed. Did not know they were all the same company...

Responsible for executing the purchasing and replenishment ordering strategy outlined by the Sr. Buyer, Department Leadership and company to support three retail e-commerce channels (www.jrcigars.com; www.cigars.com and www.seriouscigars.com) and one wholesale company (Santa Clara Inc.).

Does that job come with free cigars?

TommyBB · 02-25-2019, 11:40 AM

Well, I certainly did not know that.
Soooooooooo, they're more-or-less the same. THAT, my friend is a great find and quite the interesting news item.

I knew Santa Clara and JR were different ends of the same business, the other two, didn't know but it doesn't surprise me either

I knew that JR and Cigars.com were the same. If you type in cigars.com you go to the JR site. I didn't know about Serious Cigars. It's like CI that has it's main site, cigar.com, pipesandcigars.com and now Thompson's.

However, I could be misinformed, do not C.I. Cigars.com and PipesAndCigars basically share a mailing address? I have seen these on the print catalogs and the order forms therein. If not the exact same address, they seem very close and even on the same street.

I would imagine one way to increase your ROI on a warehouse/distribution center would be to have as many sources of demand as possible so the more websites and B&M entities you have the more efficient the DC is increasing your ROI.

I guess each of these websites is slightly different or targets a slightly different market

Serious became part of JR a while back. That’s old news.

grtrx · 02-26-2019, 11:44 AM

I truly admired lew for how he ran that place. Do you remember when there would be cute little spiffs with the order? The one I remember best was a trial size deodorant. A buck at a store, he might pay a quarter or a dime, and every JR customer got a free sample from someone. Everybody won. Jr got goodwill. Lever bros. got promotion. We smelled better. That is the only company that I can think of that had co-op advertising like that.
