Hello all,

I am relatively new to the forum and have only been smoking for a year and a half or so. I do not have a large disposable income, so I usually like to buy single sticks and not boxes.

I was just wondering if anyone has found a good online retailer that offers single sticks at reasonable prices. I visit my local tobacconist a couple of times a week, but I live in a small town and their selection is not that large. Any ideas??

towercigars.com offers singles for good prices

How do they come shipped? And at what expense?

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out.

they ship it to you for a flat rate of 7 bucks

I second the recommendation for Tower Cigars -- ask for Mark, nice guy, and extremely caring service...they really go out of their way.

Holts.com also has excellent service and a very large selection

Both www.cigarsinternational.com and www.famous-smoke.com have singles of most brands

www.jrcigars.com has a selection of 5-packs at "buy 3, get 2 free" pricing and very low shipping (around $2 per item)

My local, www.citytobacco.com, has an excellent selection of boutique brands and would put together a selection of singles for you if you call and talk with Phil, The Baron or Dino

Good luck.

Also try cigar.com. They have just about every brand available as a single. The cigars come lovingly shipped with a water pillow in plastic and a sturdy box.

I have had good luck recently with Faous and JR's.

Should we warn him about "T"

Here's an idea:
Open your own shop if your local isn't getting the job done. Of course I would wait until the scumbags in Washington decide on what they are going to do with cigar taxes.

I would love to open my own shop if I had more time and resources. I'm currently a full-time student and will someday own a business or two (who knows, maybe more), I'm just laying some groundwork first.

I don't know that being owning a cigar shop is my number one priority as I'll be in a bigger city in a few years and all of the big city shops I've been to have done a pretty good job.

Thanks for all of your advice. I will be checking these sites out.
