    I have found that there are a bevy of choices for the enthusiast. I always bounce back and forth from a list I keep just to ensure that I am getting the best price. I use atlanticcigar.com (often), cigarbid.com (often), cigarsinternational.com (often), benningtons.com (sometimes), Thompsoncigars.com (rarely).

    Bennington's is a small shop on St. Armond's circle in Fla. I just loved this little shop and they offer some fine deals in their newsletter. Thompson's I feel I have to be the most careful with. Their prices always seem over inflated.

    I have always been happy with Atlantic, cbid and CI. Those are my recommendations. I would like to see others out there too in order to find the best prices.

    A good smoke, good bagpipes, and tasty scotch. I'm happy.

    Ya, Thompson's is waaaay too expensive. Have you ordered from JRCigars.com? I find their prices the most reasonable and shipping is quite fast.

    Thompson's sux.......

    A little word of advice.... JR's prices are not that reasonable

    If BBP is nice enough to give you a little advice, such as a retailer..... try it

    Sid..... it looks like they are just talking to themselves
    I'm not big on doing reviews, tobacco doesn't taste like "cocoa" or "nutty" or "mocha" to me, it tastes like freakin' TOBACCO. I know what I like and I really don't care what other people think of other cigars. I've never read a review and said to myself "Wow, that sounds like a cigar I'd like to try!"

    I use Famous-smoke.com , Cbid , Cigarsinternational.com , JR's and Holts.com most of the time for on-line ordering . I use several local B&M's also - Cigar Alley , Nero's , Churchills , Liberty , Light n' up , Village Tobacco and Holt's .

    Yes...I have ordered from Thompson and FamousSmoke before and JR's prices are lower than these two. Obviously I haven't tried them all, that is why I asked for opinions. I made that statement regarding the places I HAVE ORDERED FROM in the past.

    Thanks for the new sites. I had never seen Holts site before. Has anyone tried the olts brand before? I'm tempted to try a fiver.
    A good smoke, good bagpipes, and tasty scotch. I'm happy.

    My motto is if Hex carries it, that's where I would buy it. I love this place too much not to support him when I can. Unless we're talking about a smokin' deal, then I would have no choice but if I'm buying at regular prices it Camino Viejo all the way.



    Disclaimer: I am too broke and Canadian to have actually bought from him yet, so I can't actually vouch for whether his store is any good or not.
