Best cigar prices

[Kookla]

Has anyone done any business with "Best Cigar Prices"? Are they the "Best" ?

Thanks!!

prices are not bad but looks like they dont do 5ers which would turn me away and never heard anything about customer service which would be big to me

Have you checked to see if one of our preferred vendors has what your looking for?

I've purchased from them many times and are in the rotation of who I purchase from currently. They seem to be have best deals (routinely) on Alec Bradley cigars from what I see. Plus they have an AB exclusive maduro stick called Star Insignia which is one of my favorite maduros out there. Their other prices are competitive, I wouldn't say I notice a large difference higher or lower than other competitors. Their service has always been good for me. I plan on buying from them again in the future.

Thanks for the link David! I will def check it out. What enticed me on Best Cigar Prices is their Elite Eight samples. Looks like a good way to try a few things from the same line.

They are BBB accredited and have an A+ rating. I'd say they are safe

They may be "safe" to deal with but just because the BBB shows that they have an A+ doesn't mean too much to me. For one, they have only been accredited for six months. That is a rather small sample size to base too much confidence on when it comes to my money. The other thing is that, again, they may be "safe" to deal with but be terrible to deal with and that could be for a variety of reasons.

Please allow me to throw Thompson Cigars under the bus one more time, because they deserve it. They have an A+ from the BBB. If you think you should buy from them, then we are opposed in our thinking as much as day and night. They have 142 complaints over the last 3 years yet have an A+ rating. They simply suck but one could still say they are "safe" to deal with. They have awful business practices that are already well documented on this board, even though this board is very new (which should tell you something).

That all being said, I'm not advocating to move away from the retailer in question but I would go on the experiences from others here first and foremost before putting stock in a rating by the BBB. Just my 2 cents for whatever it's worth.

Agreed about the BBB - I will say that I've bought from BCP for 3 or 4 years now. They've been around for 10 years I think. They've been solid for me to deal with each time.

You make a good point, all an A+ rating really means on the BBB is that the company responds to the complaints. But in my mind, if only 1 person made a complaint against this company in the past 6 months, that is a pretty good record.

That's the kind of testimony that would lead to me having confidence in buying from them. No offense to the BBB as they do great work to protect consumers, but when it comes to cigars, I trust my brothers here much more. :)

I used them for the best prices on Acid Nasty, Indian Tabac Classic Tee Pee in boxes and, the Oba Oba - by Perdomo are nice. witch are a house stick. The other thing is no frills un-boxed premiums. which is nice.

[Kookla]

Thanks for your input everyone! I will post my experience here if i do go with them.

[Branzig]

I have ordered from them plenty of times. Packing is always great, ship quickly, and product is what I ordered.

Their deals are where it is at if you are looking for good prices. They run some nice promos. As for their standard fare prices I would say they are on par with everyone else.

[mgcrunch]

I've ordered a couple K from them, they're fine. Not as much care in packaging as I'd like; not that they're inattentive, but I like my cigars swaddled up bubble wrap/peanuts.

You have to watch out with their "deals" however. You'll see them shout about a new FFOX deal, but their prices can truly blow, so you're getting the illusion of a deal without one at all.

Once in awhile they have a killer price on something, in which case I'll bite.

[izkeh]

BCP has always done me right. I've probably placed 4 or 5 orders with them.

[Kookla]

They have Elite Eight samples that look enticing. I may have to bite :)

Most of the larger online cigar sites seem to have pretty similar prices after figuring shipping, if you're only buying a few small packs. Occasionally I'll see a site offering free shipping on particular items, maybe even on an entire shipment if you buy one "qualifying" item -- good deal if it's something you actually want. While I usually compare prices across sites before buying, the difference in total price usually isn't that much.

The big exception is CigarBid, of course. One shipping price for the first item, a lower price for each additional item, plus (if you're careful) lower prices on purchase due to the auction format. It's the reduced shipping on multiple items that always gets me; I can't stand to pay "full price" on shipping for just one item, so I always have to get a few others via Freefall Auctions in order to "save money".

Hey everybody, my name is Jason and I'm a marketing associate for Best Cigar Prices.com. We appreciate the kind words that have been offered here about our company. We strive for 100% customer satisfaction, and our customer service (along with pricing!) is actually what sets us apart from our competition the most. Please feel free to address me with any questions you may have about us. I did want to address a couple of points that were mentioned earlier in this thread:

1. We DO carry 5-packs of most of the cigars that we carry, and if there is ever a 5er that you're interested in that you don't see on the site, you can give us a call to request it. 9 times out of 10 we will be happy to accommodate you.

2. In regards to pricing, we update daily in order to stay ahead of the rest. If you ever find a cigar cheaper on another site, please let us know and WE DO PRICE MATCH!

Again, if you have any other questions about BCP I'm here to help, and I look forward to "talking shop" with my Cigar Bum POTL's for a long time to come!
