Re: famous or holts


Famous is very good. Others are good too. Mostly though it comes down to the price of that specific deal. Shop around.

Re: famous or holts
I've only used Cigars International. They have really cheap prices. I think of them as the "Sams Club" of the online cigar merchants. Cheaper in bulk and all that.

Re: famous or holts
CI is better than the others, but Famous has better deals than Holts.

They are both good places and reputable so buy with confidence,,just check pricing so you get the best deal available.

The only place cheaper than these places is our beloved Devil Site!

Re: famous or holts
I order from who ever has the best price on the cigars I'm looking for. Some retailers sell X brand cheaper than the other retailer does, but that other retailer might sell Y brand cheaper than the first retailer does. I have no customer loyalty except to the best price (as long as they're reputable).

Re: famous or holts
I have bought from Holt's, Famous, CI, and the Devil Site. Mostly I buy from Famous. Have always been pleased and the last order, they even threw in a freebie CAO CX2.

Re: famous or holts
I've ordered from both many times and had no problems. I'd say go with whichever one is cheaper for what you're looking forl.

Re: famous or holts
Is it just me, or is famous a little hard to browse compared to some of the other online retailers? It seems like you have to really know what you are looking for on there.

Re: famous or holts
I like Famous, that being said, my last purchase was from Holts. It is my first purchase from Holts. I would have used Famous, but they didn't have what I wanted.

Still have a $10 off offer from Famous to use before the 12th. Space is at a premium now though.

For sure, they really load up their home page with tons of "stuff" and each time it seems as if you are loading up a brand new site. Mosts other places keep their home page the same and if you save your "cookies" the page loads quicker. I am always looking at Famous so for me it's easy to navigate but I feel your pain if you just go there periodically.
