My goto cigar vendors are Atlantic Cigar #1. Purchase VIP, trust me.
#2 Cigar Fed - buy Ezra Zion and the Cigar fed brands. Buy the Mexican Hot Chocolate by the bundle, bought one but I guarantee more. They ship in packages like Small Batch but maybe a little rougher as tracking can be wonky but you’ll get your cigars. The shipping problems I’ve seen they hid which was they shipped a delivery to themselves and then just paid to send me the cigars First Class which if they had called I would have said don’t worry but they just owned up and sent. The one other problem I had is they were sold out on a cigar but the website let the order through. They called me and gave me a discount code. Small but growing shop so I like them.
#3 - CI mega stores including Cigar Bid and Cigars.com
#4 Holts

Both CI and Holts are easy to work with with solid websites.

And this list would not be complete without Small Batch. I used to buy from them a lot but now they have to apply a CA tax to my purchases but they are a great website and top notch service. The shipping and handling has Boveda packs so bonus.

Good would be Atlantic, Cigar Fed, and Small Batch.

Meh - I agree with Adam, CI mega and Holts.
