Who sells cigars that are ready to smoke?
 
I'll be attending a bbq in the near future, and I'd like to bring a box of cigars. My current collection is a little...eclectic...so I'd be better off purchasing a full box. Does anyone in the U.S. ship cigars that are neither too humid nor too dry? Famous and CI both seem to ship wet cigars. Any advice on other retailers is appreciated.

New Havana Cigars....I end up yankin' one outta the box everytime I get one :) Besides, Dan over there is great, his packaging is the best (humidified), and customer service is great. I live in Japan and usually have my cigars in hand in about 5 days. :tu

Tower Pipes and Cigars, NorcalMark (Mark) is also on the board here. His prices are one the best imo and the service you get from him is one of a kind.

Every time I get an order in from Famous or Cigars Int'l I always smoe one fresh off the truck. Not to wet for me...

Why not visit a local B&M..... support them.

+1! I only dealt with him once but he was a pleasure to deal with and my smokes were at my front door in three days and that's going from CA to NC. Top notch in my book. My purchase was a box of T-52 Toros. When they arrived I opened the box for inspection. They smelled so great I had to torch one right off the truck which is something I try to never do. Smoked perfect!

Personally, I like JR's; they always smoke great right out of the box and I've never has a problem with the service.

The only ordering from famous I have done is off the monster, but those have smoked ok right away for me. I second your idea on CI though, workout whenever I have tried to smoke those right away.

If you order a box a few weeks in advance, wouldn't that give you enough time to let them rest?

:tpd: Usually, boxes coming out of my favorite B&M smoke just right.

I agree with Dan and Huy, both Mark at Tower and Dan at New Havana are TOP notch!

Atlantic Cigars
Cigar King
JR Cigars
Mike's Cigars

I like the gang at Taboo Cigars; I also like Famous, Jack Schwartz and Tex Cigars. I have had good luck with all, but the guys at Taboo have gone the extra mile for me.

NHC has been good to me. Bonita Smoke Shop does a pretty decent job as well.

My B&M's walk-in is at 72% RH... The other ones in town don't even run humidifiers, its kinda stupid.

Yeah that's what I do. After a few cigars stop on me at the local B&M, I just toss them into my humidor for a week or so and that's got them burning perfect.

Yeah, I was in their shop for the first and last time today. If you like cigars covered in mold, that's your place. Worst cigar shop I have ever been in.
