Best Online Retailer for Singles

[BuffaloPat]

Hello fellow BOTLs,
With Uncle Sam repaying the 12 month interest-free loan I provided, I wanted to pick up some new sticks to try. Although there are a handful of B & Ms in the area, I don't particularly like them. I used to buy 5 packs, but over the last couple of years, I have come to realize that if I don't like the first one, I'm not going to like the next four. I was curious as to what online retailers you all would recommend if I'm looking for a good selection of singles to try.

Famous Smoke, Small Batch, and Emerson's are site sponsors with a great selection of smokes. The code BOTL will get you 17% off at Famous and 10% off at Small Batch. Just email Emersons with what you would like to buy and tell them you are a BOTL member and @Craig Mac should take care of the rest. Happy buying!!!

as far as singles go, some good sites are cigar federation store and atlantic

I don't have near the experience others have but as far as selection of singles, Corona Cigar has been the best I've seen. I don't see that type of selection on the site sponsors or I'd definitely use them but I've noticed for 5 packs and boxes they have the best selection, singles not so much.

No but they have good samplers to try so you can get 5 different singles.

I didn't really read the title of the post that well, I missed the singles part. I try not to buy singles that much anymore. You can get singles on cigar auctioneer though.

Other than a B & M I think that bidding site has singles. Just checked some cigars on cigar . com come in singles.

Atlantic sells singles of most things.

Thanks for all the responses, fellas. I'll check out of few of this sites. I have no idea what to buy, so I think I'm just going to randomly pick a few and hope for the best.

 

[Erikcooper]

Best thing I've noticed wig Corona is its free shipping on whatever you get. Even if you only get a couple singles, no shipping cost

Famous has always been my go to, small batch is new to me and local so I'll start looking at them more but you can't go wrong with Famous.

These lists are a little old, but they haven't lead me wrong yet.

So I made my own five-pack. Here is what I selected:
H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon Corona 5"1/2 * 44
H. Upmann The Banker Currency 5"1/2 * 48
Illusione Epernay Le Elegance 5"3/4 * 40
Herrera Esteli Limited Edition Lancero 7" * 38
La Gloria Cubana Trunk Show Liga YG-23 2014 7"1/4 * 54

I haven't tried any of them before.

@BuffaloPat , I've noticed you will save a tonnnnnnnn more money if you buy a sampler 5 pack instead of 5 singles.. You can easily save $20+ for every 5 pack you buy this way. I am obsessed with trying new cigars, so I've you are ever interested in splitting a larger sample, pm me. And I can buy some and split it with you.

Tampa Humidor sells singles with Free Shipping.

Tampa humidor is only free shipping if you spend $100 though. Corona is all the time
