I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are concerning saving money and buying cigars online vs. supporting the local B&M. With the advent of online cigar shopping, I have yet to find a store that even somewhat compares to the prices I can get online. My favorite local cigar store has prices up to 50-100% more expensive than I get at CI.com or other sites!

However, you can't replace the atmosphere of a local cigar shop. Still, I no longer buy boxes at my B&M, just the occassional single. I feel bad, but with their prices and lack of online sales...what's a guy to do?

It begs the question...why do some stores charge 9 dollars for a Padron 2000 and some only 4-6? What prices are these stores getting these cigars for from the manufacturer??

Thoughts?
