I order from Atlantic and Small Batch mostly. Occasionally Neptune, Corona, or Smoke Inn if there's a good sale.

My experience with Cigar Page has been varied, so it's not really one of my go-tos.

Ahhh…I don’t think I’ve ever ordered from there, and now I won’t!

I have quite a bit and while the packaging isn’t always the greatest all the cigars I’ve gotten have been fine. I bet if they were damaged they’d replace them.

Cigar Page for deals & Jack Schwartz for goodies, mostly.

I've been getting boutique/smaller brands off Cigar Farm & Small Batch a lot more, lately.

Neptune, Mardo & Holt's occasionally.

I’ve won a few drawings from Mardo in the past!

I purchase from Neptune, Cigarpage and an old sponsor of our site, Elcigarshop.

They have a B&M here in Sarasota. I’ve stopped in a few times, and that location is run by Gerard Abajian, the son of the founder, Mardo Abajian. He’s a super nice dude, and very knowledgeable and interesting to talk with. I’ve never bought more than 3-5 sticks per trip, but he has remembered me when I’ve walked through the door. I hadn’t been in for a couple months, and as soon as I walked in, he said “hey man! What did you think of that (whatever cigar it was) that I recommended last time”. That kind of stuff impresses me! He always spends at least an hour just shooting the bull with me about cigars and stuff. He’s also the co-owner of Jake Wyatt Cigars. I had one the other night (that I bought online from somewhere else ) and was not impressed, but I’ll be more specific about my tastes and let him recommend something next time…

Yeah Gerard seems to be a down to earth kind of guy. I’ve interacted with him a few times on social media and he seems real genuine.

Let me know if I missed anything, I did not list CI, Famous, and larger retailers
 
So, I am on my 2nd order from Cigar Page. And this is 2 out of 2 with a recycled tracking number.....

I have experienced that as well, but my cigars have always gotten here. Don’t get me wrong, I am not defending them. It is extremely weird that they are the only online vendor that I buy from that has these recycled numbers. But I guess I put up with it because of their low, low prices…

I know....lol....
Wasn't sure if we wanted theme linked, but I am not sure why I feel that way
 
I pretty much exclusively use Small Batch. I've been a member of their 50 a month cigar club for years and have found it a great way to try to new stuff that I probably would have never even heard about.

The most recent purchase I've tried with them was the Davidoff Sampler where you put in a price (up to 1k) and they send you a selection of different sticks. I did it for 300 and was pretty happy with the 10 cigars I got. Excited to try the Royal Robusto and their new Maduro.
