AVOID THOMPSON'S-try famous smoke shop, cigar international, phatash, jr's, mike's cigars, tnt for smokes-try cheap humidors, cigarmony, bargin humidors, cigar solutions for humis, cutters, & lighters-have dealt w/most of these & had no problems-lot of guys rave about cbid-word of advice:sign up for email specials on ALL of these sights-sometimes a great deal comes along
i do still frequent local shops to try singles (for box purchase online later) and cheap daily smokes-nice to have a place to sit & smoke too, getting harder to find here in ohio-over the past 2 years have developed relationship w/shop owners & get treated better than average guy off the street (free emptys, samples, advance notice of favorites arriving, etc.)-it's good to support the local guy so i try to send a little buisness their way-just can't beat online pricing though
