Where Do You Get Your Cigars Online?

January 27, 2009 · Posted in Cigar Industry 

I had a question the other day from a friend on Twitter (follow me @Travis_Lindsay) about where I buy my cigars online. The answer is a little complicated.

For the longest time I got my cigars from cigar.com. I’ve also gotten cigars from Finck Cigar Company. There’s also the company that advertises on my site, TSCigar.com. And these sites only sell non-Cuban cigars, so there’s another cigar universe out there that I don’t really know about!

So I’m wondering, where do you buy your cigars online? Do you buy online for the selection, the price, or for some other reason?

    I used to buy from JR, but they don’t carry Padrons. So I bought from Arnold’s until I got smacked with a $50.00+ NY tobacco tax! Now I go with Holt’s, Atlantic, and a few others.
    BTW- The Bolivar is quite good. 7 x 54, a nice fatty. Very tasty, good smoke.

    For me it’s either cigar.com and COMTC deal for 10% off.
    Or JR cigar for Consuegra #70 Ms for my everday best bang for the buck cigar.
    Basically I’m looking for the best bang cigar under $100 bucks or cheaper.
    Especially with my being tied right now.

    Thanks all for the comments.

    @Andy: That cigar of the month club 10% discount is tempting as long as someone smokes enough cigars.

    Here’s another answer from a friend on Twitter:

    @rightcommentary: I buy mine from a private UK distributor… and that’s all I’m gonna say. :)

    I guess he’s getting the good stuff.
