I
know I have focused a lot on online cigar stores as of late and that
is not to say Brick & Mortars (stores) are an evil empire that
will swallow up your wallet and eat your children, although it does
seem like an arm and or a leg have been taken on occasion.
I
like the online shops a bit more because of inventory, cigar stores
cannot carry the volume or the selections that online sites can
because of space and overhead it’s just an awful truth of
economics. If I am looking for a single cigar I would head to a store
if I am looking for a bundle or a box it is Online shopping all the
way for this consumer. The stores can’t compete.
The
reason for this entry is I have been asked what online site are
better and which ones have I used, well in the interest of being fair
I will tell you the online sites I have used and like in NO
particular order
- Thompson Cigars
- JR Cigars
- 2 Guys Smoke shop
- Cigars International
- Famous Smoke shops
- Cigar Bid
- Cigars.com
- Mike’s Cigars
- Best Cigar
- Pipes & Cigars
That
being said I will add that Famous Smoke Shop has re-tuned its webs
site; if you’re new it will be fine for you but we returning
customers there will be a learning curve to deal with.
Cigar
bid can be intimidating and you really need to pay attention to what
you want to purchase read closely
Pipes
and cigars are mostly piped and pipe products then cigars.
JR
Cigars, 2 Guys and Famous Smoke shops tend to have a price points
higher than the rest.
Thompson
has a tendency to push their house brand cigars very hard to almost
the point of annoying and I have had an occasion to have my
selections a tad bit less humidified than needed.
Cigars
International, Mike’s, Best-Cigars and Cigar.com tend to have the
better deals as well as a bigger selection. Cigars International has
been a stand out for me.
All
this is only my opinion and is based on my personal experience of
using their services for many years however keep in mind everyone has
a bad day.
Now
if you will excuse me it is about to cigar out and I wish to partake
of it. Thanks for stopping in.
