    you say jr's prices are the most reasonable...have you compared them to others or just making a statement??...

    ....you asked for opinions...have you checked them??....

    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.

    Just goes to show that you can't limit yourself, JR is definitely a good site but it isn't always the best. Always shop around. If you need a place to get good deals on a specific cigar just ask there is always a member that has a good idea which site has the best prices on a particular smoke. Just watch out and avoid TBS cigars and TabaccoWorld.

    which is why I keep my damn sources to myself unless I really know the person.

    Alot of members support Gary (INCLUDING ME) @ cigar-ettecity.com. If he's got what you want, it's probably the cheapest.

    Now factor in shipping & handling

    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.

    Then I'll do the vouching. Hex does a great job, I like buying from him.

    Benningtons is a great little store here in Sarasota. They have some of the best prices on Padron, they even discount their 1964's and 1926's. I live about 7 miles from them.

    Another great store is www.regencycigar.com. They will beat almost anyones price if you call them and tell them you saw such and such at this price. Call the owner Mike and tell him Harris sent you and he will take real good care of you.

    How is Regency as a mail order place?

    It's actually one of my local B&M stores, but I avoid it because I think their prices are pretty high.
