Where do you get your smokes?

I buy primarily from Kevin (mindriot - silocigars.com) and Al (puffstuff), although I'll snatch up a deal by some brother every now and then. It's nice to be taken care of when ordering smokes instead of just taken. :D
 
I often buy full boxes at the local B&M since they give a 20% discount on full boxes. With the discount, the prices are very competitive with on-line prices. Being in MO is a benefit since we have extremely low tobacco taxes also. When I do buy on-line, it really depends on what I am looking for, but there are 2 sites I go back to the most often - CI and Famous-Smoke. I've never had a bad experience at either.
 
I buy at my local B&M Rokado in Uden, they are nice people.
And I often go to Non Plus Ultra cigar shop in Den Bosch, they have a huge selection of CC and non CC.
They also are the importer of a lot of NC's like Fuente, Ashton, Oliva, Padron, LFD etc. etc.
If you buy a box they give you a 10% discount witch is very unusual in Holland (in fact its against the law).
And I didn't even mention their fantastic lounge!

So if you are in the neighborhood drop in (I believe there are some of the military people stationed nearby)

I also have a nice sister that works in Geneva and in LA so she takes care of the CC from Geneva (much cheaper than over here) and takes some US stuff home for me when she is in LA.
Problem is that the B&M's she visits has not got Illusione, so I have to find other ways to get my hands on those!
But some brothers here are helping my out whit those! (Dion get those sticks of yours over to Holland!).

At either of the two local b&ms in my area which I go to, or at a b&m when I travel. I rarly buy from online guys unless its something unobtainable locally and I don't want to wait.
 
A vast majority is purchased at my local B&M, Two Guys Smoke Shop in Nashua, New Hampshire. Usually very good prices, and below online prices on special days (last week was 20-50% off everything).

Sounds like Two Guys in Nashua might be a better deal for me than Tobacco Haven in Brookline. I'll have to check them out next week. They have a shop up in the Derry area right off of I-93 that I've been to, but I wasn't impressed. If the Nashua shop has more space and better selection, I might be a new regular customer!
 
The majority of my purchases are from Famous Smokes. I wait until there are deals and buy with my Revolution card if I don't have the cash. Right now...I've got a deal loaded with 2 5er's and the 3rd is free. I probably won't pull the trigger since I've spent too much this week already. I've got a favorite B&M...but I can't afford to pay their prices. $2 more for a Kristoff Maduro than nearly everybody else in the state. $5 more ($16+ vs $11's) for a VSG Enchantment??? I love the owners to death...but I'm out of work. I have to shop for best prices if I want to continue to smoke what I like. Now I'll buy what I call an Admission Stick when I visit the B&M's so that I'm still contributing to their revenue when I plan on hanging out there for a while.
 
Bought a few 5'ers from Cbid, but when I do make my first box purchase you better believe it will be from one of the fine retailers that frequents our boards. They've got the best prices (would probably price match as well if it wasn't absurd) and they're good guys, why not buy from them?
 
I go back and forth between two local B&M's. Right now im trying everything I can and its easier to pop on down and see what I might like to try next than trying to get a guess from an online description. I did order a bundle from online and they are alright but im trying to learn what I like for as little as possible. And buying bundles and boxes of something I may not like just dosnt seem very smart. Now, once I find a few I really enjoy, maybe Ill go back online to buy in bulk. Plus with teh B&M's I get to try stuff ive never seen online.

Yeah I was at 2 guys March madness event at the shop in Salem, some great deals that day. The shop in Nashua is newer so it is a little nicer than Salem. I have been meaning to check out Blow'n Smoke in Bedford, from the looks of their web site the store is very nice and they hold a few events every month. Not sure on selection and price but I will update when I make it over there one of these days.
