What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

With so many online retailers and many of them being very good. I just wonder what is your favorite online cigar retailer and why?

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

cigarmonster.com =)
famous-smoke.com runs that site

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

Buckhead (ATL Cigar), Cigar Source, Tobacco Locker, Uptown, RMR

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

Cigarmonster.com, great deals at great prices if you compare around. I have grabbed some good deals.

Cigarauctioneer.com, I use this site when wanting to buy boxes of cigars that are nicer than $6. They normally have good prices on auctions mid day but I have found that you also need to do your research comparing to other online places.

Cigarbid.com, for buying cigars that retail less than $6 a cigar or for singles, and 5 packs. I mainly use Cbid to try new cigars at low prices or to pick up accessories. I have spent way too much money though with them haha.

I've had positive past experiences with:

Holts
DukeCity
TampaSweethearts

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

Anyone use Texcigars.com? I have noticed that they have way lower prices than most e-tailers but have not heard anything about them. They also are lacking pictures most of the time of the product so I am a bit weary. Don't mean to hijack the thread but I think this is on topic enough. If it is not then I can move it.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

Reason why the price is lower is because they generally by from retailers slightly over (or at) wholesale, then operate on much lower margins. They have few, if any, actual accounts with manufacturers.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

Cigar.com best customer service

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

i love cigar.com also. all my online purchases are from cigar.com, famous-smoke.com, or cigarmonster.com

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

I have found that in the past couple of years I have used Cheaper Cigars, Cigar Place, and Best Cigar Prices for most of my purchases since they generally have the best prices on Olivas, and Best Cigar Prices have El Cobre and the best price with bonuses on Perdomo2. I do buy Indian Maduros and Perdomo2 Mistakes at Cigars International. I have had great luck at all of these vendors to include Best Cigar Prices in December 2009 holding 2 boxes of Oliva V Maduros after my Visa Card was compromised (which I found out on this order) and I was waiting for a new card. They also made a mistake when they set up bonuses on Perdomo2 Torps and did not list the bonus on an order. Sent the bonuses (a Thundra lighter with each box, I bought 3 boxes) after a phone call. Only place that I have seen with better customer service is Holts.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

Personally, I use JR's; I've always gotten good customer service, I get their shipments super fast, their prices are pretty good on the smokes I like and I like their JR alternatives.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

My first experience with cigarauctioneer.com was a very positive one.:tu
I got a box of 10th anniversary champagnes for 1/2 price and everything else about 40% off. But, you can't get auction fever or you'll pay too much for the product.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

Yes, the times I have used Texcigars.com, I have been very pleased with the product and service.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

Cigarsatyourprice.com. Love this site. Cigarbid.com is another addictive site and I've saved alot of money using both of them.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

:tpd: Cigarsatyourprice. Best prices, great service. They package things very well too.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

The Party Source. Across the board they can beat most retailers prices, particularly if you call. :tu

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

:tpd:

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

i like the daily deal sites - cigar monster, joe cigar, etc.

When I want something specific, I usually go with CI or Famous. When back home in NC, I go to the JR store which is about 20 mins from my parents' house. I would never buy from JR's online unless I am buying ALOT of merchandise. That 8 buck fee is killer on a box or two.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

cbid,CI, Holt's, cigarmonster

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

Honestly, I only remember ordering from CI. Though tampasweetheart will be getting an order from me shortly. Going to check out texcigars...

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

Cigarsatyourprice.com
Holts
Famous

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

Thepartysource and Fullerspullers.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

Bonitasmokeshop.com I like to buy in five packs and they usually have a 5 pack for every cigar

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

One of my favorite online retailers is cigar.com. Their customer service is amazing. I was out in Afghanistan and one of my cigars was damaged during shipping. They shipped me a new one free of charge that same day and required no pictures or proof from me. I had another friend who ordered cigars out there and never received them so cigar.com send the entire order again free of charge. Cigarbid.com is also great if you want to pick up some new sticks for a cheap price.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

Lew gets almost all my bisiness too. I will say that their Alts are very good buys, but even at twice the price or more the JR Ults are much, much better, and to my taste as good as many twice the price. Oh, and if you get ahold of the right bundle of Connies, you'll be hooked for life.

Besides, Lew's one hell of a nice guy. :tu

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

I primarily buy from Bestcigarprices.com and have recently ordered from Cigarplace.biz. BCP does not have the lowest prices, but they have a LOT of what they sell in stock and ship the same day. On many of the higher priced boxes of smokes, they give me free UPS Ground shipping. Being that I am in Central PA and they are in Kingston NY (less than 200 miles away) I get my order in less than 48 hours. Great customer service too. Cigarplace.biz consistently has the lowest prices I've seen and I've done a lot of comparison shopping. The drawback is that they don't have a lot of their cigars in stock, at least right now. So I've added some things to my Wishlist and check back regularly. I noticed a link to Primostogies.com on one of the other Cigar Chat rooms, and they have some low prices and offer things like Monticristo and some other popular smokes in a CASK bundle that comes with a pretty low price. I don't know if those cigars are fresh or not, but I am considering giving them a shot. If anyone has ever ordered from them, let me know. -(P


Cheers,


Mike T.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

im gunna have to go with cigarsatyourprice.com not the best deigned website but great prices, customer service and shipping. they have gotten ALOT of my money

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

Cbid(CI), Famous, Holts and Tampa Sweethearts.
Have also had good service from Atlantic, BestCigarPrices.com,
cigarplace.biz, and Jack Schwartz .

It helps that I'm within one day standard shipping from 1/2 of these.

Chemyst :cool2:

:tpd: One day shipping usually from CI, Famous, and Holt's. I had one glitch with cbid. They shipped one order UPS Basic, which adds a day (for some reason my local UPS depot handed off to USPS even though I'm right In the city.). I called up their CS, and they flagged my account to use Ground instead of Basic.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

I have a strategy of finding what I want on Famous then waiting for something good to come up on Cigar Monster. Usually grabbing something from Cigar Monster will get you free shipping on your whole order.

It is a great excuse to tell my wife. "I had to buy all this stuff! It was free shipping!" :banger

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

I haven't seen Jack Schwartz mentioned here. Excellent service!

Have also done; Tex, CI, Famous, Holts, Mikes, 2Guys, and Taboo.

Just to name a few.

Funny, I've never ordered from C-Bid.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

I buy from the CI family (CI, cigar.com, CBid) and the Famous family (Famous, the Monster). No problems yet.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

I usually use CI, Famous, BCP and Cigarsatyourprice.com. Never had an issue with any of them!

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

I mostly use CI or Jr. Thanks for the alternatives mentioned, I'll give them a try.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

I predominantly use Famous. Only 1 day ship from them to me and I've never had a problem with them.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

Don't hold out on me. Which one is the right bundle?

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

I have to say bonitasmokeshop.com is the place to go. Ive found no cons. But the pros are as follows.
*They sale 5 packs of about everything,
*the cigars come in mint condition
*I ordered a 5 pack of cigars on a monday and an unexpected snow storm hit ( Note: I live in the middle of no where, a town of 200 people) and got them wednesday which was with standard shipping
*if you buy over a hundred dollar order free shipping
*And importantly Great customer service they even email you the day its arriving

I think that even those skeptic should at least try out a 5 pack of there choice. ANy way Ive went those other sites and I must say I couldnt be more pleased with bonitas

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

I like Smoke Inn - they have 5 B&Ms in South Florida and have competitive prices and great customer service. They also get some limited edition Pepins because of proximity to Little Havana. Join the club (free) and prices get lower.

www.smokeinn.com

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

I've had good experiences with:

CI
Holts
Bonita's Smoke Shop
Cigar Monster
and
The Party Source

I've ordered most of my stuff through The Party Souce over the last year and have been very happy.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

Jack Schwartz, by a longshot.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

cigarplace.bz, Atlantic, Cbid, and cigarsatyourprice

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

:tpd:

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

showmeyourash.com (habana house), and serious cigars.

I hate cigarsatyourprice, they hardly beat anybodies prices, along with cbid. You can find many more retailers that beat their prices hands down.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

One of the many that have to remain nameless. Though I also like Holt's.

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

I have been use JR CIGARS since the 90's & have never had any problems with them or my orders. Customer service iS GREAT they also have TONS of stuff they dont list on their web page just ASK for it by name.

Well over 10 YEARS ordering from them & the only problem I have is that I keep going back for MORE...

Re: What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer
 

I only use CI (and CBid) and JR. They've always been good to me.:tu

I'm not sure the rhyme or reason for the selected text you posted in bold.

I have been using JR since the early 90's and I even bought from their wholesale side. They have been very helpful and I have never had a problem with customer service. I use to sell cigars ar guns shows and I placed orders weekly. I still use JR mostly but I do use Cigarbid.com and Cigars International and have used a couple others once or twice.

I will say one of the best cigars I ever had was the JR Ultimate. Damn that was a great smoke!
