Here's a link to my Cigar Blog. I have a couple of favorite sites that I buy from and I'll give them a link below but I just found a very interesting article - Cigar Cyclopedia's rankings of online Cigar Shops so I may have some new favorites once I have room for more cigars... My Three Favorite Online Cigar Shops are:
JR's Cigars / Famous Smokes / Cigars International

Because of my travel schedule I don't have a favorite local retailer but if I hit the lottery I know exactly where I'd open up a cigar shop with a smoking lounge and a bar...
