Buy online or in store? - Page 3

cobra03 · 11-15-2011, 12:17 PM

It used to be about 50/50 until i moved back to NY. I just cant afford to buy a lot of smokes at a B&M with the way the tabacco taxes are here. I will still stop at the Indian Reservation from time to time if im in the area. They are still tax free there.

gator_79 · 11-19-2011, 06:40 PM

I do both. I'd say about 75% in favor of online. I go to my local B&M for singles and some boxes that are just as cheap as online. I go online for other boxes as well as the "Other" cigars that cannot be purchased in the USA.

Bill86 · 11-19-2011, 06:57 PM

Online only. B&M's are often less than desirable. Not to be a prick but I can't wait till all of them in this area close. I believe one has already.

applevalleyjoe · 11-19-2011, 07:02 PM

Would like to buy locally at a store but the nearest store with anything worthwhile is over three hours away.

kingcobradude · 11-19-2011, 08:16 PM

I found not a lot of online stores with a large selection sell to people 18 years of age

CasaDooley · 11-20-2011, 12:50 AM

Singles at my local B&M's and bulk purchases on line.

11-20-2011, 02:37 AM

Regularly online, but I have been known to drop in a B&M for a few singles on occasion.

Tallman · 11-20-2011, 08:10 AM

Both. My practice is to go to the local shop every couple weeks, pick up several different sticks, and if I find one I really like, I start looking for great prices online.

11-22-2011, 08:53 PM

I always buy at B&M but I'm to new and still trying to figure out what I like but have been thinking of ordering online to try it out.

Skywalker · 12-05-2011, 12:53 PM

90% online and 10% at the b&ms.

Marlon K · 12-12-2011, 08:33 PM

I do both.

celtic250 · 12-12-2011, 08:45 PM

I do both but majority of it is online.

INT · 12-14-2011, 05:48 PM

Mostly online. B&M for when I want something now.

timj219 · 12-14-2011, 06:21 PM

No B&M near me so I buy online most of the time.

Zeuceone · 12-14-2011, 06:42 PM

90% at a B&M, I don't like waiting for something I already paid for. Always good to support them or else they will disappear.

12-14-2011, 07:04 PM

I buy online.

Boz · 12-14-2011, 10:20 PM

Singles at the B&M and boxes online.

PuffPuffGive1 · 12-16-2011, 02:25 PM

Majority online...every now and then I'll go into a B&M to 'sample' a brand and if I like it; buy the box online.

pektel · 12-16-2011, 02:46 PM

ALmost exclusively online. 70% tax in MN makes the B&M price very expensive. $11 for a CAO italia robusto? lulz.

dvickery · 12-16-2011, 03:31 PM

i buy almost 100% of my cigars in cigar stores...in havana.

from time to time i will purchase cigars online...maybe once a year...dont really enjoy cigar shopping without being able to open ,look ,handle ,smell ,check box codes etc etc.
