What are some good shops to buy from online for non-cubans. Also are there any shops that are not worth dealing with?

Kinda depends on what you are looking for but i've had good experiences with these companies:

towercigars.com
newhavencigars.com
Cigarinternational.com
holts.com

And i've had bad experiences with:

jrcigar.com

To each his own though.

No posting sources! Just kidding. I've ordered from cigar.com and they are pretty good.

I've ordered from Famous Smokes, and had good luck with them.

One more to mention is seriouscigars.com. They are the place to go if you are looking for singles.

I have mostly ordered through Cigars International and I have had zero problems. I have bought once from cigars.com, no problems. Stay away from JRCIGARS, and Thompson. I got a sampler of the Padron 26's, and the caps were breaking up. Not too much of a big deal but you have to better than that to keep me comin' back.

if your on the east coast, famous-smoke.com, CI and cigarplace.biz ship very fast

holts is tops,plus you get those great catalogs to read while in the bathroom..

Tampahumidor is great and free shipping on singles.

Holts
Famous-smoke (like their auction site too)
Cigars International (and Joe Cigar)
Cigarmonster.com (good daily deals, part of Famous)
NHcigars.com (Holy Smokes! smoke shop, has awesome sales, get on the mailing list!)
Leaf and Ale
New Havana
Atlantic
CVM Cigars.com (I use this once and a while for 5 packs, they have some decent prices on other boxes too)

There's one next to my hopper right now.....

Only one? The well stocked loo should have no less than 3 catalogs from various vendors.

Mikes Cigars. Great prices, even greater cusomer service. Never had a problem with them

But I only said one for the Holts!

There is also a:

CI
JR's
and a Money Magazine....

Touche good sir!

I have Famous, Mike's, and Cigars International (how great was it that they came out with 2 April editions!)

I really enjoy the Holt's catalog. very classy

I've hever been dissapointed by www.atlanticcigars.com. They represent great cigars manufacturers and have immpresive customer service.

2 guys smoke shop, cigars international, cigars.com, corona cigar company, superior cigars are all companies that I have had no problems with.

JR does not sell Padron Cigars

Why is there always someone wanting some drama?
