Any experience with egars.com???

Some of their prices are excellent (Ashton ESG/VSG). Others are rediculous (Anejo). Would also be interested to know.

Same site I asked about a few months ago and never got a reply. So I chaulked it up to way to good of a deal. I like the prices on their ashtrays.. Oh, well hope you get an answer.

Well, they carry palio, maybe one of the palio folks on here can verify they are legit.

Never heard of them myself but looked at site and some prices seem too good to be true, Knockoffs Maybe????

This item is about $100 under normal pricing for Boston Cutter, looks like one but notice the name Boston is not mentioned: :hn Our Price: $187.50, Normally sold around $285 - $300.

I own one of the Boston Cutters and while there are "copies" of these they are not the same at all, I promise you. I also own the "Little Guy" V Cutter and there are exact copies of these in cigar shops and online. Again, these are copies and while they look like them they do not operate the same. The copies of the "Little Guy" are a POS and do not operate with any kind of precision,,,they are stiff, they do not slide easily, they don't cut the same, the materials are cheap. Yes, they are expensive as I paid $100 for "The Little Guy" 10 years ago,,,but it cuts the same today as it did when I bought it,,,like new.

chippewastud79 08-09-2009 05:48 PM
Re: Any experience with egars.com???
 
Most of those prices are below any MSRP I have ever seen. In my opinion, they are too good to be true. :2

Never have seen a knockoff of anything that was any good! At their prices some of the stuff has to be fake.

Re: Any experience with egars.com???
 
I think this is a sister site to another online retailer, if you look at some of the pics on egars, it says niceashcigars.com. So I went to Nice Ash's site and the prices were very similar (some things were higher others were lower) and both sites are offering a deal when you buy singles of the CAO Soprano soldier and CAO Mx2 toro, so who knows?

I know that Nice Ash has some great pricing on DPG stuff like the Black Label. MMMMmmm.........DPG Black Labels....MMMMMMmmmm

Tarks 08-09-2009 06:15 PM
Re: Any experience with egars.com???
 
The fact that I have yet to get a reply from someone that has actually ordered from them answers my question.

Too good to be true.

Re: Any experience with egars.com???
 
If memory serves, Egars was actually owned by someone else about 3 yrs ago. I remember stumbling onto that site and checking it out, they had a picture of a gruff looking old guy that said he was the owner. He had a pretty good selection of cigars mostly they regular fare (Macs, Partagas, Montes and the like) and some other "new" stuff (Drew, Lars, and a few boutique stuff), the prices were good (not as good as some of the stuff on there now).

I went back there about a year ago and it was they way the site is now. I never went in too deep to the site, because I was buying from CI and FSS, just thought they had they best prices. I guess the only thing you can do is call and talk to them and trust your gut. One thing I would find out is what is in stock, you could sell boxes of DCMs for 50 bucks, but if you don't have it in stock it doesn't matter.

Who knows,maybe they are one of those maverick dealers, the kind that sell their product for what they want not what the manufacture tells them to. If thats the case, I would let people know here by PM's, might be some good deals to be had.

I have actualy ordered from egars and I know of two others who have also. Other than a mix up with the padilla miami's that Mr.B ordered there haven't been any problems with this site.

I was a little concerned about the site but since I got my order with out a problem they seem pretty good to me. Got a box of Tat P's and they are legit as far as I can tell.

Re: Any experience with egars.com???
 
I ordered from them in October 2007. I ordered a couple samplers and a humidor. No problems with the cigars, but the humidor was out of stock. Their customer service asked if I would like my money back, a different humidor, or if I wanted to wait until the humidor was back in stock. I asked for my money back and everything went well. I haven't ordered from them since that time though.

Re: Any experience with egars.com???
 
This site is getting a lot of discussion on several boards. I feel we will find out soon enough if they are for real. If they are, their pricing on all DPG blends (including Tats, My Father, etc) and Ashtons are outstanding. Will keep an eye on this thread. It is funny that their Anejo pricing is 10x their Opus pricing.

dubnick 08-09-2009 11:02 PM
Re: Any experience with egars.com???
 
I may order from them later in the week... I'll report back

BTW, The flat rate pricing looks interesting

Re: Any experience with egars.com???
 
The price on the Anejos was bothering me so called to speak to them. They told me they are out of stock of the anejos but the price is correct! Two issues here. First $140 per single and second they do not have real time inventory which probably explains why they seem to be in stock with so many of these hard to find sticks.

I am hunting anejos right now and have stocked up on almost eveyrthing else... if my at collection starts getting low I will bightt he bullet and order.

Cigary 08-14-2009 01:48 PM
Re: Any experience with egars.com???
 
Got my order in today from these guys. It was packaged fine but didn't come with a humidity device ( pillow ) so they arrived warm. They pack pretty much like CBID does but they arrived in great shape with no flaws. Only 4 days from start of the order to arrival. I ordered the La Vieja Habana Brazilian Maduro Celebracion National - 7 x 52 - of which I did a review on earlier. I got a couple of 5 paks for $22 ( which is about $2 per stick,,,,I'll pay this all day long for this cigar )

Next order is for a box of Tats!

Re: Any experience with egars.com???
 
If those turn out to be legit I have a problem:

(1)Nowhere to store more boxes of smokes after the Monster got me in the last couple of weeks (including a box of VSGs and a box of San Cristobals).
(2)My credit card really could use some rest (see #1)
(3)My "wanna get at those crazy prices" list is scary long.

I am afraid to read this thread any more. :-)

If they aren't a dealer, they may not honor the warranty...I would go through an authorized dealer. :2

:tpd:

I agree. Remember, Even though the price is around $35-40 a piece, you are also paying for a lifetime warranty. IMHO, These cutters are easily worth $20 atleast, and to pay $15-$20 to ensure that it lasts for decades is a good enough price.

Just my :2

If the vendor has no relationship with Palio and gets them from a secondary source, what would be the vendor's incentive to hand over a new Palio and go through Palio for the replacement? In other words, is a vendor who sells Palios that they don't get from Palio actually a "Palio vendor"?

Now Palio itself is topshelf and would replace or repair it through the mail regardless of where you bought it, but I myself would just as soon go through someone that Palio has an established relationship with. 6 one way, half dozen the other. ;)

Now remember,,,my deal was for inventory that was pretty easy so I am not ready to comit that these guys are "the bomb" until I get some serious premium cigars without a hitch from them. I wasn't taking a real risk in that my credit card protects me from bad deals. I am going to order some 5 paks for premium cigars and see how they do with those before I give them full credit.

i went to HELP to check weather they do shipping to my country..and below is what they state;
Quote:
Do you ship to my country?
Please create an account by clicking the "My Account / Order Status" link at the top right hand side of our site. During signup we'll ask for your shipping address details including country. If your country is not in the dropdown menu of available countries, unfortunately we cannot ship to your country at this time.
when i go all the process and then i find out they only ship to US and Israel!

come on! might as well state it clear "We only ship our cigar to Us and Israel ONLY"

what a waste of time:td

For those of you who are tempted by the pricing at this site but don't want to risk ordering from someone that isn't really well known if you call Holts customer service and send them the links to what you want they will honor the Egar price. Just a heads up. :Tu

Re: Any experience with egars.com???
 
I had the worse experience with this company lately, placed an order and they NEVER sent a tracking number, sent FOUR letters no response.

Found out today the order is on back-order , again no letter of communication

Had to call them and found this out and complained about they never responded to any of my 4 emails. they seemed to have found my comment a irritation more then helping improve customer relations.

And there email is not even available on there sight, you have hunt to do it through the comment page, frickin joke

I could give a chit if there prices are good, you can offer me a new car at one dollar but if your out it means squat
NEVER AGAIN
