As everyone knows, it's difficult for us canadians to find NCs at a reasonable price in a B&M store. So we have to find an online source that has a good selection, good prices, low shipping cost and that you can trust to deliver. Of course, the shipping "logistics" are of the upmost importance.
Used to be that a great place to shop at was Atlantic Cigars, but recently, they've been having problems with shipping to Canada. Still a great vendor, but shipping has "risks"...
So I went on a search for a replacement and I think I found a great substitute : SeriousCigars. They have a great selection and great prices, generally at par with Atlantic (which is already one of the cheapest places to shop at) and often even a bit lower.
I did a test order to see if everything they promised was true, and believe me, it was.
Here's a copy of my receipt :
| No. | Description | Unit | Qty | Price($) | Total($) |
| 1. | Brick House - Classic - Churchill - Natural - 7 1/4" x 50 | Single | 2 | $5.75 | $11.50 |
| 2. | Brick House - Classic - Corona Larga - Natural - 6 1/4" x 46 | Single | 2 | $4.75 | $9.50 |
| 3. | Brick House - Classic - Short Torpedo - Natural - 5 1/2" x 52 | Single | 2 | $4.95 | $9.90 |
| 4. | Brick House - Classic - Toro - Natural - 6" x 52 | Single | 2 | $5.25 | $10.50 |
| 5. | Vallejuelo - Classic - Robusto Gordo - Natural - 5" x 54 | Single | 6 | $5.00 | $30.00 |
| 6. | Carlos Torano - Master Series - Robusto - Natural - 5" x 52 | Single | 5 | $5.60 | $28.00 |
| 7. | Generic - Punch - Havana Retractable - Varies - 2" x 32 | Single | 1 | $4.95 | $4.95 |
| 8. | Nub - Connecticut - 460 - Natural - 4" x 60 | Single | 1 | $5.30 | $5.30 |
| Sub Total: | $109.65 | |
| Standard Shipping: | $6.50 | |
| Total: | $116.15 |
So you can see that the prices are good and the shipping charge is great. I ordered on Friday Sept 16th and received my cigars on Thursday Sept 29th, which means it took 9 work days shipping time from Texas. Not bad at all, especially for a 6,50$ charge. Most importantly, I didn't have to pay any "extra charges to anyone else".
Everything came very nicely packaged and with a 69% Humidipak to boot. Here's a few pictures of what I received:
Overall a great experience which I will repeat in the future for sure !
