Ordering
Securely at the Black Hawk Tobacco Shop
In an attempt to provide our customers with the
securest Internet experience possible, the Black
Hawk Tobacco Shop has introduced SSL Technology
into our web site.
At the moment, orders can be securely place
from our mirror web site at www.blackhawktobacco.com.
Because 128 bit encryption (the highest encryption
possible) is more time intensive to load than non-secure
web pages, only the product order forms have been
encrypted.
We have also introduced two separate order forms:
New Customers
and Frequent
Customers. That means sensitive
data will only have to be sent once. This information
is not stored in an on-line data bank and therefore
can not be stolen by hackers.
Though we have never had a breach of security of
any kind, we feel that it is best to stay one step
ahead of potential threats. We hope that these two
improved methods of ordering will give our customers
the extra level of security that they need to easily
order cigarettes safely on-line.
What is SSL?
The SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol is the Web
standard for encrypting communications between users
and SSL e-commerce sites. Data sent via an SSL connection
is protected by encryption, a mechanism that prevents
eavesdropping and tampering with any transmitted
data. SSL provides businesses and consumers with
the confidence that private data sent to a Web site,
such as credit card numbers, are kept confidential.
Web server certificates (also known as secure server
certificates or SSL certificates) are required to
initialize an SSL session. SSL certificates come
in two forms: the less secure 40 bit encryption
and the maximum security 128 bit encryption.
Black Hawk Tobacco Shop's SSL Certificate is the
maximum security 128 bit encryption certificate.
Please visit www.blackhawktobacco.com
if you would like to place a secure order. |

What is a CSR?
A Subjex CSR (Customer Service Representative)
is an on-line program designed to answer customer
questions in real time.
In order to provide our customers with as much
information as possible, the Black Hawk Tobacco
Shop will be introducing an our own CSR. With
her you will be able to ask us a question at any
given hour of the day or night and get an answer
immediately.
At the moment, the program still has to be trained
and is not able to answer any real questions.
Over the next few months, however, as her knowledge
base will increases and she will be able to run
more and more independently.
We hope that she will provide our customers with
an extra level of information not available on
any other cigarette shop and will make our on-line
cigarette store even better.
We also hope that she will be fun to talk to.
Why is the CSR referred to as "She"?
Our CSR actually has her own personality and happens
to think of herself as feminine. That is just
one of those program quirks, that is on a technological
level that we really don't understand.
She tends to call herself Cindy, though isn't
really happy with the name. After she gets a little
more comfortable with our store, our products
and our customers, will be asking you to help
us give her a name and a face.
We will be taking a poll as to what she should
be called and which image she should display in
the CSR panel. We will let you know, when we are
ready and we hope you will take part in giving
her a real identity. She would like that. |

Believe it or not, at the Black Hawk Tobacco Shop,
we do more than just smoke cigarettes. Anyone who
comes into our shop knows that we are often silly
and humorous and that we like to joke. Sometimes,
maybe too much. For this reason, we have picked
a non-tobacco related web site as our Cool Link
of the Newsletter: www.googlism.com.
Googlism is a pun of the Search Engine mega giant
Google and has absolutely nothing to do with that
monster other than to use the Google database to
come up with a really funny idea.
Just like Google, a person inputs a search term
in the appropriate box and presses, “search”.
Gogglism then searches the Google directory and
collects an amazing amount of misquoted and out
of context phrases from the Internet. The results
can be bizarre, inspiring, nonsensical and often
very funny.
We checked our some of our favorite words and came
with these absurd and weird results:
