Here is a review of several online cigar stores I have used. I actually wrote this earlier this month and posted it on one of my message boards.

I’ve ordered cigars online from www.cigar.com and www.famous-smoke.com and www.jrcigars.com.

Cigar.com
Arrived fast (helps that they are in Chicago). Ordered 4 singles, all in good condition. Website was very easy to use.

Famous-smoke.com
I ordered a 5 pack of Drew Estate Twigs and a torch insert for a Zippo. One of the the Twigs is damaged. I ran into some shopping cart database problems when first ordering. Second time worked.

I’m still waiting for my order from JRCigars.com. Unfortunately my only option was USPS. I had to re-enter all my info when their site told me this. When the order arrives I’ll follow up.

Out of all the sites Cigar.com worked the best. They carry most of the cigars I like including Drew Estate (my favorite label.)

Here are some more links:

Natural by Drew Estate — Root is great

Z Plus Torch Zippo Lighter insert( only $10) - if you want a huge flame for your zippo check this out

Smoked one of the Twigs today. I was having trouble with the draw on mine. Other than that is was pretty good. You can order 100 of these for $75-$100; not a bad deal for a quick smoke that tastes good.

JRCigars order came today. The humidor is nice. I also got a Zippo in the order. Good price on both.
