What is your favorite online Cigar Retailer

GodOfFire · 02-04-2011, 09:35 PM

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

cmitch · 02-05-2011, 08:04 AM

My first experience with cigarauctioneer.com was a very positive one.

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.

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.

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

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

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