I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this (feel free to move if not), but here we go:
As far as I know, there are three "one day deal" websites for cigars:
I do like that they have a viewable history of past deals a forum to discuss their daily offering. The forum is a great thing because I've never even heard of most of the cigars the sell. Simply put they rarely offer anything I would even want to buy.
On the rare occasion that they do offer something I want to buy, it either sells out before I wake up in the morning or is not priced attractively. One example is a few weeks ago they were selling a 5er of AF Hemingway Classics. By the time I saw them at 9 AM EST they were already sold out. Today's deal is definitely a cigar I would buy, a 5er of Tatuaje Reserva J21. But, the price is nothing special. I could buy a box from Holt's and split it with some BOTL here and it would be cheaper. I think my local B&M even has these at a lower price. On Joe Cigar and Cigar Monster sticks are normally priced at least 30% off what you would normally pay for them.
My last complaint is that this is the only cigar one day deal site that doesn't offer free shipping. Shipping is cheap, but free would be better. If the prices are higher and they charge shipping, why would anyone buy from here?
So, with all these problems with the site I can't figure out why I continue to check it daily. I guess I'm just stupid. :hn
