Patricia, NetCigar JR Cigar Ashton Churchill 160.00 175.00 Cordial 100.00 110.00
Cohiba (Dominican) Curchill 275.00 234.95 (but out of stock) Robusto 210.00 179.95 (but out of stock)
Excalibur (Hoyo de Monterrey) #1 58.95 75.95 Emperor 51.00 49.95 I'm a big fan of HdM, both Cuban and non-Cuban. This Excalibur line is for the most part crappy. Uneven burns, crowning, plugs galore. So far the #1 has been reliable, the rest are junk. I was so disappointed that I complained to General Cigar.
Montecristo Arts NetCigar crashed at this point and I was unable to continue comparisons. Could only get an Error 500, HTTP Web Server: Lotus Notes Exception - Too many open files, Lotus-Domino Release-4.6.4
Happened Mon May 10 10:47am ET. Guess all the bugs are still not worked out. Anyway, I consider JR Cigar to be the leading competitor, Famous Smoke Shop is good, and so is Holts. Have also done business with Carona Cigar. Don't mean to slight any companies I have not mentioned, just have not done business with them. I live where there is no Cuban embargo, so I am more likely to order Cuban cigars from a couple of favorite sites in Spain and Australia.
Anyway, to answer your question, they seem very competitive, but this is the grand opening. |
