Buying Cigars Online: Essential Tips

Thanks to the Internet, it's easier than ever to buy quality cigars at affordable prices. But how do you know where and what type of cigars to buy online? As with any other Web product, you can compare all features, benefits, prices, and brands to ensure you're getting the best cigars for your money.

Determine the Type of Cigar You Want

Before shopping, determine the type of cigar you'd like to buy. This will save time and help you narrow your search in the search engines. Search according to the type of cigar, the country where they're grown or made, and the price you're willing to pay. Some popular cigar brands include 5 Vegas, Acid, 1876 Reserve, Blue Label, CAO, Brocatus, Belicoso, BoxerIndian Tabac Maduro, Shrapnel, Romeo y Julieta Viejo, Victor Sinclair, Professor Sila, NUB, Graycliff, and many others.

Some of the popular countries where cigars are made, filled, or wrapped are Nicaragua, Brazil, Sumatra, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Ecuador, and of course, Cuba (illegal to buy for U.S. citizens).

Consider the size and style of cigar that best suits you. The style will determine the size of the cigar as well as the ring gauge. For instance, Belicoso style has a length of 5 1/4 inches - 6 1/2 inches. Petite Belicoso has a length of 4 inches - 5 inches. Other styles include Churchill, Corona, Double Corona, Petite Corona, Gigante, Presidente, Lonsdale, Rothschild, Toro, Immensa, Robusto, and Panatela.

Order Samplers before Buying a Complete Set

Buying cigars can get expensive, with cigar sets ranging from $35 to $250. A cigar sampler enables you to try a variety of cigar brands or styles before buying a complete set. This will save you money in the long run because you can determine your favorite cigar without buying hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of cigars. The sampler will likely contain cigars from different parts of the world and/or with tobacco that has been grown or aged in various ways. Samplers are especially helpful if you're a novice when it comes to cigars.

If you're still not sure what to buy, go online to read cigar editorials and articles. Ask around in discussion forums to get an idea of cigar flavors and quality. Also, look for retailers that sell cigar accessories along with cigars so you can get all the items you need in one place. This will save time and shipping fees. Some cigar accessories you might need include a cigar ashtray, a cigar cutter (or guillotine), a humidifier, a cigar tray, a fan kit, a bullet punch, and a tube. You might also want a cigar humidor for storage and a cigar lighter.

When shopping online, be sure the retailer offers all these items at affordable prices with no-hassle ordering and shipping. Find a reputable online cigar store that carries a variety of brand names so you can try different ones whenever you want without worry. Cigars and cigar accessories also make wonderful gifts for the cigar aficionado on birthdays, holidays, or any occasion!
