I'm more of a newbie smoker and until now I've gone to a local B&M and as awesome as it is supporting my local shop, the 100% markup isn't as enjoyable for my wallet. I'm looking or the best site you feel to buy Stogey's from and all other stuff. Right now I feel like JR is the site to go with buy I'm just looking or your opinion.

Also, I buy a lot of premiums but I can't afford to smoke them all day everyday so I get a lot of bundles which the JR Alternates seemed like a good route to take for that bu I'm just wondering your guys' opinions on best site or brand even for bundle economy sticks and stuff. THANKS!

Depends what you're going for cause not all online retailers carry everything. Same as B&M's. I used to just google shopping search the stick I was looking for to find the best price before those communists started charging companies to list with them. Bing is still a free market search though. Try that.

Im not going to lie until recently I had about 5-6 sites that I ordered A LOT from; but I had an awesome experience with two of the site sponsors recently with HTF and stuff that just came out that made me change me mind. I think the most valuable asset to me now is a quick call to a site sponsor when looking for smokes.... never going back.

Idk why I never thought of that but thanks for the help guys. I'm still new to the site so that never crossed my mind but I can tell I'm gonna be on here for the long haul, establishing report with site sponsors sounds like a solid plan to me

I'm quite frugal. I check all of the site sponsors along with a few others I've bookmarked until I find the absolute lowest price.
Other than the site sponsors: I really like famous-smoke, Cigars international and cigar bid (but be careful with cigar bid, lol)
I hardly ever make impulse buys without price checking, but if I do it's usually from either joecigar (CI's deal site) or cigar monster (famous' deal site)
If you're new I'd highly recommend cigar monster, they sell lots of 5ers (plenty of good stuff too: tats, illusione, undercrown, peppin) for roughly $2-7/ stick and offer free shipping.
FYI, you can also use the coupon codes from Famous for cigar monster!!

When I was a broke undergrad, I used to stick with the devil auction sites... but then I had an awesome experience with Atlantic (site sponsor) and it changed me. I have been ordering almost exclusively from them ever since.

I buy from Emerson's, Atlantic, and Cigar King primarily. All the site sponsors will make you :)

Brandon (Cigar King) is in Arizona, so I get stuff from him the quickest...and he's a cool cat....

...but, so is Cmac at Emerson's...and so is........... you get the idea :)

That he is, and I have order from them a couple of times as well. I just wish that they would sell El Titan de Bronze Redemption Maduros by the box (poke, poke) :stretchgr
