Whats your favorite online Domestic cigar retailer

[T.G]

CI has always been good to me, but I can't say that JR, Famous, et. al. have been bad either.

Only one vendor that I've had major problems with, so I just won't deal with them. I won't say their name, but it rhymes with a machine gun preferred by gangsters in the 1920's.

There are several very good ones but I would classify Famous as my favorite.

I found beetle activity in a Oliva G from them. They said they'd prorate it. They have decent deals on samplers but other than that...
I like CI a lot. I've found most of purchases lately being from Famous Smoke Shop via Cigarmonster though. I always get incredible deals there. I'm gonna have to check out Silo. Ever since going to online retailers it's hard for me to buy from my local B&M.

I have also begun finding it very hard to support my local B&M with cigar purchases, buy lighter fuel, etc from them is about it lately except for an ocassional single. I am sorry fellows but I just can't pay $10 plus tax for a smoke I can buy 5 of from Joe or the Monster for $30 or so with free shipping/no tax and have them in 3 days. I think the B&M's are going to have to see the light or many are going to fold up, I would not hesitate to pay them an extra buck or so on that smoke but not 50-100% more.

Are others finding themselves in this mindset lately?

As a B&M owner I can tell you that selling below msrp still does not make me competetive with onling retailers that don't have to worry about taxes. I do my best to have the best prices around but that is all I can do. We only have a 10% tobacco tax here in MO but in some states its 70+ percent. B&Ms in those states have no chance at all.
