So what is famous smoke shop most "famous" for??

[jrtaster]

My on-line purchases are currently almost evenly split between JR Cigars and CI.
JR has reasonable ($ 5) , and very quick shipping. They also carry the broadest range and reasonable pricing on El Rey del Mundo, of which I smoke a couple of vitolas. Likewise a couple of their Limited Selection Cuban Alternatives are excellent. And their range and prices on Frank LLaneza 1961, one of my favorite cigars, are unmatched.
CI has some outstanding bundles, most notably AJ Fernandez "overruns," Nicaraguan 90+ Rated, and Nicaraguan Boutique Seconds; all IMO really good cigars at reasonable prices.
And on lines like Padron x000 and Sancho Panza Double Maduro, both JR and CI are competitive.
So for what lines/prices is Famous Smoke Shop most "famous?" I'm not asking anyone to "defend" Famous; just truly interested in for what they most noted.
Thanks, guys!!

Famous and Monster I think are ran by the same company. I will often get Undercrowns CHEEP off Monster. Famous has KILLER KILLER customer service!

I was almost an exclusive CI buyer or a long time ago. Now because their prices are so good the quality is so good the packaging is so good and because they sponsor our great board I buy most of my sticks online from famous

The original store on West 39th Street in Manhattan. The first real cigar shop I went to.

What CWS said

 

[Argus17]

Like CWS, I used to buy most of my cigars from CI. Now 90% of them come from Famous. On time shipping, fantastic packaging, and I can't ever remember a damaged cigar. Over the years I've received from CI, dozens of damaged cigars, a box that was beetle infested, and some that where moldy. I've never had any of these problems with Famous. Oh, and the sponsorship and discount don't hurt.

 

[StogieNinja]

This is just my impression, but CI has better low-end stuff (AJ, Ghurka, etc) . Famous tends to have better availability and lower prices/better coupons and discounts on the midrange stuff (Tatuaje, My Father, Hererra Esteli).

Same with cbid vs monster

famous always does right by me, in the store they always treat me like a king and always great customer service online. I always get great deals on the monster and the auction site. I don`t by from Jr`s so that I don`t know but CI imo has a great deals on what I consider garbage sticks.

 

[Splatt]

Love the monster mashup, especially with the BOTL code and free shipping

We kidnapped Jim.

Ransom is 1000 opus x, or so I overheard as they made the ransom call. My wife told them they could keep me.....

She actually negotiated down to a handful of Garcia y Vegas.

We turned it down but will reconsider on the next phone call.

II've found better deals at famous as well, tho cbid I've gotten a few steals to get things way below even best discount at famous.. or like when I won a 5er of oliva v melanio and they sent me a box of 10 :skew:
