The cigar world is filled with thousands of cigar brands and accessories that help us enjoy this premium pastime. This makes for a neverending cornucopia of cigars to sample, humidors to pick from, and torch lighters to buy. However, the large variety of quality items in the realm of the cigar can make it tough to decide on cigars to smoke and accessories to purchase, especially due to their cost. For that reason, most aficionados are always looking for a good cigar deal or two (or three). Basically, discounts, sales, and other ways to save help us enjoy more fine cigars so it's pretty important to know how to find those deals. The following are two of the best "places" for finding some of the best deals on cigars anywhere on the planet:
Cigar deals at $19.99 and under at the Thompson online cigar store: Thompson offers deals that fall into a range of price brackets. Check out the page for cigar deals at $19.95 and under and you find items like the quality Super Eight Sampler and Noah Edge 2-fer Lighters for less than $15!
The second site for finding great deals is the Thompson cigar auction: Keep checking and participating in our cigar auctions and you are going to find plenty of fantastic deals.
Of course you can also find discounted cigars and sales on premium smokes by visiting most of the pages at the Thompson Cigar site.

Memorial Day is one of our most important holidays. It was originally known as "Decoration Day" and started as a means of remembering the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died during the Civil War. Extended families used to gather at the graves of loved ones who had died in the war and often enjoyed a picnic dinner together. The name of the holiday eventually changed to "Memorial Day" and many of us still mark this day with a visit to the cemetery and a family picnic.
If you had to choose just one holiday to enjoy premium cigars, Memorial Day would be the date. When you light up those choice cigars on Memorial Day, don't forget to dedicate that smoking experience to the men and women who won't be there to celebrate because they gave their lives for our country. For that reason, you shouldn't mark the day with an everyday smoke. Instead, choose premium cigars such as those found in the 90 Rated 9 Sampler. Each of the smokes in this quality assortment have been rated at 90 or more and include the likes of Brick House, NUB Cameroon, and Trinidad. Or, if you want to stick to just one smoke, buy a box of limited production, 95 rated cigars like the Padron Family Reserve No. 45.
Mark Memorial Day the right way and buy top-shelf, high quality cigars from the Thompson online cigar store today.

Cigars might be luxury items but that doesn't mean that they have to cost an arm and a leg. The luxury of fine cigars is found in the priceless experience generated by enjoying cured, quality tobacco. While some rare, select cigars can cost quite a bit, there are literally hundreds of very fine cigars that are very affordable for the majority of aficionados. You just have to know where to look for those deals and when you find them, there will probably be more than enough excellent options for saving on fine cigars than you ever imagined. The best place to start looking is right on the front page of the Thompson online cigar store but when you want to buy more smokes for less, check out our 2-fer cigar deals!
These are the deals where you get two bundles of smokes for the price of one. It's as simple and straightforward as that and just might be the cheapest way to fill the humidor with quality sticks. For example, the 2-fer deal on La Veleza Corona Sumatra cigars gives you a chance to experience 40 fine, medium-bodied, hand-made, cigars for less than $30! Each of these quality sticks uses Dominican filler and binder, and a delicious Sumatra wrapper to provide the aficionado with a satisfying smoking experience that comes with a hint of spice for a very low price.

Nowadays, buying a cigar is as easy as going to an online cigar store, picking out a box of promising smokes, and ordering it. It's quicker and easier than in the past but buying cigars online mostly leaves out the personal touch and smoking advice that is part of the tobacco shop experience. While it's still possible to get that same advice by phone, it's good to know a few basic tips for buying cigars. Three important things to consider are:
Country of origin: Different growing regions provide tobacco with subtle, different flavors on account of their soils, amount of rainfall, and other factors. Although this is a generalization, Nicaragua tends to produce cigars that are more robust and have a hint of spice, Dominican cigars tend me more mild and smooth, and Honduran tobacco falls somewhere in between.
Wrapper: The type of wrapper used makes a big impact on the cigar. Connecticut and Sumatra wrappers usually generate creamy, easy-going flavors, while Maduros are at the other end of the spectrum with rich, bold flavors.
Rating: When searching for premium cigars that are particularly high quality in nature, look for smokes that have received ratings of 90 or more. If the rating is 93 or more, you can expect an exceptional cigar.
An easy way to try a bunch of different quality cigars is by ordering a cigar sampler.
Listen to Al Remp as he gives some tips on buying cigars in this video.
Cigars come in various shapes and sizes, and hundreds of brands are available. Some are given a 90 plus rating while others are just said to be fine, everyday smokes. There are also hundreds of unrated boutique cigars, many of which are purported to be high quality brands. With so many types of lesser known cigars found in an online cigar store, it's hard to know which of those smokes might be worth buying.
Many will be good, a few might not live up to expectations, but some will come through with flying colors. Use the following hints to fill your humidor with the best cigars for the best prices:
Who created the cigar?: Experienced cigar experts who have several high-rated cigars and awards to their name are probably going to keep on making high quality smokes. If someone like Abe Flores or Rocky Patel is behind the cigars in question, there is a very good chance that they will be top shelf smokes.
What tobacco is used?: Some tobacco is of higher quality than others. Look for cigars that use long fillers that are described as being rare, select, or premium tobaccos and they will probably be very fine smokes.
Buy a cigar sampler: Buy a few different cigar samplers to find your favorite brands.
Fill the humidor with excellent cigars for low prices by shopping at Thompson Cigar today.
Cigars come in boxes, bundles, as single sticks, and when you shop at the Thompson online cigar store, you can also get them in five packs. So that brings up the obvious question: "Why buy five packs of cigars cigars when you can just order an entire box or a single stick?" To answer that question, take a look below at just a few of the occasions when it's worth it to buy five-packs:
When you are taking a short trip: While extended vacations might require more than just five cigars, a couple of five packs are perfect for trips of two or three days. It's also a good opportunity to treat yourself to fine smokes like Oliva Cain Cigars or Rocky Patel Edge 5s.
When you head to Vegas: Bring a bunch of quality five packs instead of an entire box of just one brand of cigars. That way, you can make your own, quality sampler to celebrate your winnings.
When you feel like trying something new but don't want to buy a box: It's hard to justify buying an entire box of cigars that you have never tried before. No matter what others say about those smokes, if you don't like the first one, you end up being stuck with a bunch of cigars that you aren't going to smoke. Before spending money on a box, get a five pack to try them out.

Aficionados live the good life not only because we make efforts to be aware of the many facets of quality living, we also enjoy the good life because we are willing it pay for it. Although we know that certain, high quality experiences command prices that reflect their value, that doesn't mean that we would rather pay a lower price. Even though many of us can afford higher prices, it just doesn't make business sense to pay more when you can pay less for the same item or service.
Not to mention, paying a bit less on various items also adds up to substantial savings when you consider the higher number of purchases we make during the holiday season. In addition to enjoying low prices for quality cigars and accessories from Thompson, one of the easiest ways to save on every purchase is by ordering more than $99 worth of items. Do that and you can subtract any shipping costs because we will ship it to your place for free! Even if you happen to order less than $99 worth of premium smokes, lighters, and dozens of great gift ideas, you still pay a low, flat rate of $4.95 for shipping.

There are hundreds, maybe even thousands of cigar brands out there to be sampled, tasted, and enjoyed. No aficionado can deny that this is a good thing but is does pose a challenge or two every time we shop for cigars. It can be tough to decide upon cigars to smoke even when shopping in an online cigar store that carries just about everything. When you browse through that huge assortment of great smokes, it's easy to wonder what the truly seasoned aficionado would pick out. In all likelihood, the cigars ordered would vary by individual but most aficionados would probably still go for certain types of cigars.
They would probably pick out a box or two of favorite cigar brands and this would almost certainly vary by individual but each brand would be well made and consistent in terms of quality. The well versed cigar smoker would also stock the humidor with quality sticks for different times of the day. For example, mild, smooth cigars might be purchased for mornings, something a bit stronger would be chosen for the afternoon, and robustos would be reserved for the evening hours. Since every seasoned aficionado also knows that great smokes can come from brands they have never heard of or tried in the past, they would also buy a different cigar sampler from time to time.

The next time you place that order from the online cigar store, don't forget to include a much needed yet frequently overlooked item. That important accessory is solution for the humidor. Whether placing an order for a few boxes of premium cigars, tantalizing samplers, or bundles of everyday smokes, you need extra solution on hand to deal with challenges posed by winter weather. While your cigars are kept warm and cozy in the safety of your humidors, they may also be subjected to much drier conditions than expected. This is a frequent problem for cigar storage in any of the colder states and can also happen during cold spells in warmer parts of the country.
Ironically, the freezing cold weather outdoors probably wouldn't harm your treasured smokes as much as the warm, dry "weather" inside your home. The air gets much more dry than is frequently realized during the winter and it can reach the point of lowering the humidity level inside many a humidor. The best way to keep your cigar collection from becoming a brittle, heartbreaking mess is by checking your humidors on a daily basis to ensure that both the humidity and the solution are at the correct level. If the humidity is lower than ideal, you may need to refill the solution container. Since you could run the risk of drying out your cigars, better to have extra solution on hand for the next few months.

Most aficionados are always on the lookout for discounts on cigars. Whether you have the funds or not, why pay more when you can buy great cigars for less?

If that was the only option, then we would have to do what it takes to enjoy the good life with fine cigars but since you can buy smokes online for less, the trip to the tobacco shop isn't worth the effort.
For example, shop online for smokes at Thompson Cigars and you will find far more brands than in a brick and mortar store.

We also make it easy to save on smokes with samplers, selling individual sticks, and offering a wide variety of deals.

You can always find savings at the Thompson Cigars online store and when you take into account the time and money spent on looking for and buying smokes from brick and mortar stores, you would be hard pressed to pay less for smokes anywhere else.
Our online cigar store is so big that we should really call it a warehouse. Instead of just a few cigar brands, venture into the online store and you will find hundreds of high quality cigar brands, discount cigars, bundles, dozens of samplers, a huge assortment of accessories and much more. Look around and it won't take long to find savings on cigars either. Take our five-packs for example.
As part of our Five-pack Fever Sale, the more you buy, the more you save. Buy just one five-pack and the price stays the same but when you buy two different five-packs, you get 40% off the retail price. Add a third, different five-pack and the discount becomes 45%. Order just one other different five-pack for a total of four and you get a whopping 53% off the retail price! Each five-pack has to be different to enjoy these discounts but since variety is the spice of living the good life, you wouldn't want to order the same five-packs in any case.
The Internet has become the easiest place to go shopping. While you can't touch the items on the screen, the ease of picking out and buying just about any product outweighs that little difference. Online purchases are particularly helpful for buying cigars due to the lack of smoke shops in modern day America. Sure, they are out there but they are far fewer in number and don't offer near as many accessories and cigar brands as a site like the Thompson Cigars online store.
At the end of the day, you always end up spending less when shopping for cigars on the Internet for such reasons as:
Discounts: Not only do most of the brands cost less than their counterparts in brick and mortar smoke shops, but they are also frequently offered at a discount, or in combination with other smokes and sleek accessories.
Free shipping: Whether you pay for shipping or not depends on the circumstances but in general, the more you buy, the more likely you will get those great smokes delivered to your door for free.
Samplers: These are a fantastic way to save on premium smokes while also broadening the cigar experience.
Efficiency: Time is money and you spend less when you can buy top shelf smokes in a matter of minutes.

Aficionados who buy their smokes at the Thompson Cigars online cigar store can get them delivered to their door in several forms. If looking for a nice assortment of smokes, samplers are an easy means of adding variety to your collection. Single sticks are also available for many a quality brand and you can also get smokes in five packs, by the box, or in bundles.
The cigar box is the traditional means of packaging and presenting smokes. They protect cigars during delivery and do them justice with classic, beautiful illustrations. Given the art shown on boxes along with their sturdy build, it's no surprise that some people collect them more than the cigars they house.
The bundle, on the other hand, is basically a "box-less" means of packaging several cigars. Instead of being placed into a decorated box, the sticks in question are bundled together with string and/or paper. It might be a no frills way to deliver smokes but it doesn't take away from their taste.
Boxes are good if you like to receive your smokes in a classy, decorated container but if you don't mind buying sticks that come with little packaging involved, bundles are usually available for a much lower price.
Find great deals on boxes and bundles at Thompson Cigars today.
