Buy online or in store?
 

Just wondering how many people buy their smokes online vs in a retail store? I was looking online at some prices, and wondering if anyone actually pays retail for a smoke.

Re: Buy online or in store?
 

I do both. I have a great B&M in Tampa that I shop at. I also watch for super deals online.

Re: Buy online or in store?
 

Most of mine is done at work. Some is done online(here), and some up and Empire. I put "other" just cuz of employee discount.

Re: Buy online or in store?
 

I do both. But i would say about 75-80% is online and the rest is when I go to a B&M to smoke.

Re: Buy online or in store?
 

I buy 90% online, mostly forum sales. I average maybe $50 a month in a B&M. It would be more if I used the B&M for their lounge/social aspects, but the store I prefer only has a very small lounge area that I never use. The money I save buying online vs. in store is just too much to pass up.

I do both...depends on the deal because online you can find some good deals however I do work down the street from Famous and CI so it all depends. Gonna say 80% online 20% Famous and CI and local B&M

I cant help but notice you have been a member here for over a year, congratulations! :banger

Please take a moment to introduce yourself and tell us a little about your cigar smoking experiences in the New Inmate forum. :sh

I started buying almost exclusively on-line but a few years ago found a B&M that I enjoy and have since purchased there more that half the time.

Re: Buy online or in store?
 

I haven't bought cigars in a while. I usually buy singles from the B&M and anything larger than that online.

Re: Buy online or in store?
 

Will do...thanks for letting me know.

What online sites do you guys use? I generally use ci, jrcigars, and famous-smoke for most. I need to find a good B&M where I would be a regular.

This thread could become...wait for it.......

PS...both

Re: Buy online or in store?
 

I do both. As soon as everyone starts buying 100% on-line for lower prices, our last sactuaries to smoke in (in many "smoke Nazi" states) will be gone, and those who have wives that won't let them smoke in the house will be chit outta luck in the winter.

Unless you grow the new and improved Chuck Norris Chest hair! (Patent pending)

I let the wife leave in lieu of getting the hair, MJ. :lr

Re: Buy online or in store?
 

When I can find the Marcas I enjoy in store, I will buy there.

Re: Buy online or in store?
 

I buy 90% online, I also started rolling my own and if I am in a shop looking I usually always buy something .

Re: Buy online or in store?
 

99% is bought online. Occasionally I'll grab one or two from Total Wine.

Re: Buy online or in store?
 

I LIKE A LIL BIT OF BOTH. I need to find a better B&M though

Re: Buy online or in store?
 

I do both, although 95% is online.
