Cigars International's website is probably the best place to buy cigars on the Internet. The selection is outstanding, with
representation ranging from the big brands to diamonds-in-the-rough. Shipping is very very expedient (sometimes standard shipping gets you cigars in about two days!) and your smokes will be taken very good care of for their trip. Customer service is very strong, too.
The company is very big on value. Simply perusing the web site or a print catalog (free) yields lots of deals to consider. The cigar descriptions are also vivid and truthful, so you have a pretty good idea what you're buying and of what quality it is. Another great thing about the company is that they offer selections of cigars that you've probably never heard of, but are made by major manufacturers, so if you're
looking to save a buck or two, it's easy to do without a sacrifice in quality or smoking pleasure. CI also offers a variety of samplers so thier customers can try some of the market's finest cigars and also offer house cigars that are very well-made and a good value as well.
The site features a variety of resources for cigar smokers. 'Cigar 101' is a quick reference guide for any and all cigar smoking questions for knowledge sake. There are also reviews to help you in cigar selection, specific searching parameters to find the exact smoke you're looking for, contests, and a place to sign up for CI's weekly internet special that is delivered via e-mail-- highly recommended.
Accessories can be purchased through the site as well. Humidors, lighters, cases, etc. can all be found there. Especially good deals can be had on butane lighters (recommended for lighting cigars) and on samplers that include humidors, which are great for new smokers looking for a good start.
At first glance, anyone interested in cigars will know that they will have fun surfing this site. It is obvious, if by nothing else than the logo, that these guys don't take themselves too
seriously, but take your cigars seriously enough.
