I myself like Cigars International, they ship fast, have decent prices, nice site layout, and have some boutique brands you might have trouble finding elsewhere.
I like their Best of Gurkha sampler and Cusano sampler.

The sites already mentioned are good. I would add atlanticcigars.com and holts.com to the lists. As Tiny Tim said do a search here - lots of info. Good luck.

Atlantic used to be pretty good. But lately I notice their prices aren't as great as they used to be and they have been slow on my last 3 orders. I still use them though, but not for long if this poor service keeps up.
Too bad they don't show their humidor inventory. They have some nice ones and pretty cheap.

Jack...just a thought...since you and Tim are so close in proximity, maybe you two could go in together if you don't wanna spend a bunch, and split a box or two. again...just a thought.
All sites mentioned are great. As for Holts, I bought a Savoy humi from them that I like very much. For me, it was reasonably priced, holds 100 cigars and works well and is very attractive.

There also a cigar price search site called CigarPrice.com where you can select a cigar by brand and size and it will return results from it's index. It's not a comprehensive search, but it will occasional turn up some good prices.
I just checked out this site and referenced a few brands that I know the prices of and while not 'every' price is lower... it usually is and by a relatively good margin.
I would recommend that you at least visit the site and check it out. Just thought a second voice might give ya a reason to do some research : )
I usually start with cigarprice.com, then I look at JR's, which is sometimes cheaper than what turns up on cigarprice. If there isn't a big price difference, I usually end up buying over the counter at Holt's, since I find myself smoking in their lounge once or twice a week. One of the great pleasures of being in Philadelphia! BTW, Rudy Giuliani stopped by the lounge at Holt's on Saturday and said, "Nice place." A local judge replied, "Why don't you move here?" Giuliani seemed a bit taken aback by that and just sort of smiled...

The customer service their is unbelievable, they will find you anything you can think of and are willing to negotiate the price, when you talk to one of their sales reps.
