What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

Looking around at the different online sites, and they all look pretty competitive on pricing and shipping. Is there something that makes one better from another? Interested to see what you guys think!

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

I typically use Cigars Intl., their pricing is good, and you can almost always find a free shipping link here. Also I think their website is the most user friendly. Famous smoke is pretty good too.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

I like CI's pricing and specials but I personally like the selection and samplers over at Famous Smoke...

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

Depending on what your looking for I use Famous and cigarmonster. They have some good stuff on there if your watching. Free shipping too.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

I use cigarplace.biz and cigarsatyourprice.com alot. So many good sites out there.

In past six months I've purchased cigars from no less than nine web companies and 12 B&M's.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

When I buy on the internet I'm usually looking for a deal on a sampler, 5-10 pack, or a box. If I just want to try a single stick of some sort, I try to get it at a local B&M.

I have found great deals on CI and Famous-Smoke. Check out the daily, and weekly specials regularly for things you are interested in. Also, Keep an eye out for free shipping deals. I think all the big sites are trustworthy to purchase from.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

Holt's, Famous, CI. Holt's has some killer samplers and a good selection of premium sticks. Famous, most often through cigar monster, for some deals. CI/cigarbid...it's been a while, but I've never had any problems with them (not that I've had any problems with any online retailers, IIRC.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

Since friday alone I have bought from four different retailers. (CI, Famous Smoke, Cigar Auctioneer, and Corona Cigar) and two b&m's (Seriou Cigar and The Briar Shoppe). Never had a problem with an online vendor. Whoever has what I am looking for at the best price will get my business.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

Two more votes for CI and FSS/Cigar Monster. CI has lots of good deals and some incredible email-only deals if you sign up for them, plus they have free shipping quite often. FSS also has lots of good deals and tons of freebies if you look for the coupon codes (my last order which was for $54 got free shipping plus a free 5-pack of decent smokes worth $20). FSS's CigarMonster (available through a link on the upper right of the FSS page) often has some phenomenal deals.

EDIT: When I started out I shopped through Thompson but no longer. I can get better deals and better customer service through CI & FSS.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

Anything that's not associated with CI, Thompson, JR's and Best Cigar Prices.

The guys at Corona Cigar Company are amazing.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

If CI has a good deal I will grab it, otherwise I have recently bought a few things from Atlantic Cigar. So far so good with both of them.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

Almost all of my online shopping is done right here in the WTS... Lots of fun when it opens up to you as a new inmate :tu

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

CI & FSS.

Great selection. Lots of great everyday smokes & great price. I do not minds 2nds at all.

All my Cubans are got locally through a friend.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

I can't wait for this to open up to me, every day I think it's gonna open up. I'm like a little kid at x-mas running downstairs, but nothing yet:confused:

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

CI is highly respected here, and JRs has always done me right over the dozen or so years I've dealt with them, so I don't get this James. :confused:

But I guess that's why they make both vanilla and chocolate ice cream. :sh

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

I don't buy much locally due to taxes, but just this year working the phone and interwebs I would put it around 15 different places.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

CI, Atlantic, Famous...once in a while JR's and Holt's.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

I Only order contraband online, and when something catches my eye in the WTS thread, all my NC purchases are made locally, not a big fan of companies that sell online, support local/small businesses!

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

Between the main CI and CB I have never had much luck in getting what I consider acceptable sticks. That's not to say that its always been a bad experience its just that the bad ones outweigh the good ones. I've received a lot of dried out and under-humidified product from them that ended up going back. They have always "righted the wrongs" but its not a place I would go to often if ever. Just a personal preference that's all.

A lot of the cigars that I favor the aforementioned on-line retailers don't carry or are never in stock. I do my best to support local B&Ms and have a one that has an astonishingly amazing selection but has some humidification issues. They are however, the only place I can go into every time and know the more HTF stuff I want is going to be there on the shelves.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

Very much looking forward to it!

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

NC noob, and I just had a great first time experience with Atlantic Cigar. Will definitely be placing another order with them as soon as I can.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

CI, cigar.com, Atlantic cigar, Emerson's, Federal cigar, Smoke Inn, Famous/Cigar monster.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

CI, Cigar.com, Tobacco Grove, CigarBid, Holts, Atlantic......all have been good to me.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

Since i am international i can only order from Atlantic Cigar & Mikescigars. from what i can tell they are the only ones that take international orders without a US billing address. (checked cbid , thompson & CI and none allow a non-us address)

although if any of u guys know of another site that does please inform me.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

I spent a lot of time overseas and ended up using a mail forwarding service when dealing with a company that wouldn't ship overseas. The forwarding service gives you a P.O. Box address in the U.S. (my service was in Iowa). My package would get shipped to them and then forwarded to me, for a fee of course. It worked for APO/FPO addresses but I'm not sure if it would work for international street addresses. Worth a shot, though, as the forwarding fee was not excessive.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

i have a PO box in miami that i ship everything to (have done tons of internet shopping through amazon & ebay with no issues)but my credit card is not a US card, some of these sites dont accept international cards. the only ones i found that accept international cards are Atlantic & mike's.

once it reaches miami it is forwarded to me in trinidad by the shipper.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

Smoke Inn, and big shout out to them on the sweet order I just got.

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

add cigarplace.biz to international shipping...
dealing with them for quite a while now...

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

thanks, will check them out :tu

Re: What Online Site Do You Purchase From?
 

We here at CigarPlace.biz ship discreetly worldwide with or without a US billing address. We also ship to APO/FPO addresses as well.
