Where do you get cigars from?

[CubanSmokeRings]

Just wondering if people here usually go out and buy cigars or if they get them over the internet. How do you know if a site is secure or not? I've only ordered one cigar online and it came after two days, but I've heard of people getting ripped off.

99% of the time online. There are many reputable sites to choose from.

Check out this thread. You should also read the Retailers Forums to get to know the ones who participate in the jungle. Look around there is much information to be found.

I get them from the place that sells them





Cigars Intl., Cigarbid, JR, Tinderbox, Nic's Cigar World

I picked them up from a few places online and also a few samplers from folks right here at CS. :tu

I get mine from my humidor. My humidor gets them almost exclusively online.

I pick up the majority online, mostly from Town & Country (Taboo) & Cigars Intl. A lot of my sticks came from the gorillas here.

I still go to the local B&M though. Almost always buy one to smoke there, then a couple more when I leave. I like that shop and there's only one way a place like that stays in bidness.

Tried it, got hit with a dish rag. I didn't realize that a link to this thread was previously posted but check out the thread 'How to Buy Cigars Online' which I just bumped to make it easier.:tu

I buy from The Party Source. Call Eric at The Party Source for the best prices anywhere.

Mostly online and convincing my business traveler friends to stop by duty free on the way home.

:tpd: Occasionally try to buy from local B&M to keep them afloat, but just can't beat the prices online.

Mostly online, but I like to maintain relationships with the local B&Ms.

It's a sticky!

 

[mrreindeer]

I haven't strayed to the darkside of online stores yet:SM but I know it's damn tempting.

Having been a staunch non-smoker all my life, I discovered earlier this year that there was 'just something about cigars that I liked'. So started smoking them semi-consistently (I try to stick with weekends). Since I don't smoke every day and since I'm pretty new at this, I like having the variety that singles provide. I haven't done a ton of online browsing (ok, maybe a little) and while I don't know a lot of the websites on that sticky and I'm not sure if they offer singles but I do know www.cigar.com offers them.

So I was pretty tempted. But the prices on the singles weren't THAT great. And I just like my local B&M too much. This thread does a pretty good job comparing online vs. your local shop: http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=181043.

I do think I get a pretty good deal at my B&M along with comradery, discounts, freebies, a nice place to smoke, etc. so for now I'm good with continuing to go there.

99% of the time it's online. My local B&M has a huge mark-up and it's not worth buying 2 from them when I can get 5 online. Plus, he buys a lot of his online during the sales and doubles the prices in his shop.

No local B&M's up here in rural Vermont and the drug store/convenience store smokes just don't cut it, so most all of my purchases are online.
