Online Stores

[Phoenixxx]

I think it would be a good idea to throw some online retailers around and your experiences with them just to get an idea of where people buy from, plus give me something to read considering i am a senior in high school who is already accepted to college and has nothing better to do with my time since homework is a thing of the past.

Recently i found a site http://www.bonitasmokeshop.com
prices looked almost too good to be true
whats the catch?

i use cigar.com or my local shop. my local shop told me they are one of the biggest padron dealers in this half of the country. that was in response to me asking how their prices are so low... ($72 for a box of 2000s)

as for that site i have never used it, i have only used cigar.com and one other site to get my xikar cutter.

Cigar.com through and through.

when buying cigars in packs of five, how will they arrive at my house? or is every retailer different with their methods for shipping?

Of my favorite web sites, these are the ones still in business. I haven't tried cigar.com yet, but I can see that day coming, the next time I have money for cigar shopping. The list of favorites below are web sites that I have been doing business with for years, not months or weeks, so yes, they are reliable. You have to know what brands you are looking for, because one web site will have a lousy price on one of your favorites, but great prices on another, etc.

Bloofington:
Like you I have accounts in most of your listed stores, and have purchased from them with a high degree of satisfaction based only on price.
I now purchase 98% from Cigar.com.
Simply put, Cigar.com's customer reps. help me in making the right decision. No wasted purchases. I save money.
They have even suggested "others" at times.
I buy where I get the most bang for my buck. Cigar.com
Anyone can be cheap. I'm not. I demand value for my dollar spent & get it.
Hope this helps. Just my opinion.

I was one of the winners of the C.A.O. Palms auction as well.

ive used cigar.com holts and jr's pleased with all. but they dont all carry all brands. i have a list of about 20, but prefer a good deal from 1 or 2 retailers as opposed to searching the web and "buying blind" for a great deal. i wont miss 2.00 extra on a bundle, but will miss my cigars if on backorder or lost. and if you order from holts, tell em to keep their free cigars.

i mostly use holts.com, cigarbid.com (not for noobs, you need to know a bit about prices before you use cbid) and cigarsinternational.com

Has anyone ever dealt with Absolute Cigars dot com in Canada?
