Posted by Alex a while back:
"We actually share some space but are not under the same ownership. We dont really view Cigars International as a competitor or really share many customers, they are heavy in house brands and inexpensive exlusives and bundles, while Cigar.com is a more service oriented with a selection of hard to find cigars and high end items. Different strokes for different folks I guess. As I always say, there will, always be companies out there that will try to sell you the most cigars for littlest amount of money, I would rather just sell somone the best cigars and be done with it. Often times best value and best cigars are not synominous, if it were everyone would smoke backwoods."
Maybe Alex can answer this though:
When I was at the CAO event at my shop, the rep told me that they no longer make the CAO Black and Cigars International bought the remaining stocks. I noticed Cigar.com still has them. As an online retailer, I'd imagine you'd have to order frequently and these are still in stock. Do you ever buy from them?
