What brand cigars are not sold on the web?

[shilala]

Does anyone remember the "JFR" (just for retail) cigars someone was making back about 5 years ago? I can't remember who it was.

It is a well known fact that all makers save their best cigars for B&M's. Only their inferior sticks are sold online.

It's a well known fact the getting great cigars online you can get the best cigars in the world, not to mention B&M for example can only get Arturo Fuente Añejo's twice a year while you can get them online all year long

One of the shops that I frequent has a few special blends that they receive, and I've never seen them anywhere else. They also get a really good cigar that is freshly rolled for them in Florida, and then shipped directly to the store. You can smoke them right away and it is fun having a cigar that was rolled with the past couple weeks. I've also bought one and stored it a few months and it was interesting to go back a compare a fresh one to the one that has been sitting for a while.

I'm starting to develop relationships with people at the B&M I frequent and am finding it very rewarding. They are getting to know my tastes and always have something cool to recommend.

My BFF and his wife go to Hawaii every year and essentially the same thing. Last trip she had to buy a new suitcase to ship home for purses and shoes. He bought a duffel suitcase for sticks, accessories & more sticks.

God bless having a corporate FedEx account.

You did Daniel. Like I said, I forget that darn search is there. I need to be able to customize the UGI on my end and make that link in font 11tybillion.

No worries at all!

Bob's post was sarcasm, which apparently you didn't get.

B&Ms and on-line retailers, with the exception of some exclusives, get the same cigars. Sometimes big on-line houses will buy mazos (bundles) of celloed cigars rather than boxes since they are going to break them down into 5-packs or singles anyway.

As for Anejo's, they are only released twice a year, doesn't matter if you're a B&M or an online outfit. If an online outfit has them all year long, it's probably because they're charging an excessively high price and no one is buying them.

You can get the Anejo's cheaper online then any B&M and beat Cigarbid surprisingly all the time

So, you've checked prices at every B&M in the US?

Laughable. More like every B&M you've been to.

Anejo pricing on cbid isn't hard to beat. It's not uncommon to see $30-40 a stick for a $12 Anejo cigar there.

They still are available at some B&Ms, I believe it was Tobacco Tropical that was/is making them.

There are a few other B&M exclusive lines the manufacturers have tried over time but I believe that trend may be dwindling
