We made the deal and I received my box in a few days. No hassles no fuss. I used ISOcigars.com to connect with this retailer and new retailers that I may not have known if it were not for ISOcigars.com. The industry is moving in a much different direction in the last year or so. Manufactures are now trying to help protect their blood lines in the retailers and also making exclusive offers of certain cigars to those retailers ONLY. I may want to get these cigars and other cigars I like to enjoy without having to drive all over the state or post ISO's on the boards in the hopes I score with no problems. This site does that while allowing me to meet and speak with new retailers all over the US. ISOcigars.com will be doing a rate the retailer section similar to ebay in the upcoming months if the interest in the site continues at this pace. Most if not all of the current retailers on board have been dealing with some of us boardsmen and women on some level over a period of time. This WAS just going to be a site for those "in search of" and brothers and sisters that have a hard time getting around to their locals, like my cousin Lenny while also helping the retailers connect with brothers and sisters of the leaf all over the states. Price may and always will be an issue for some internet users with some smokes. We are trying "to connect" retailers and cigar smokers to help the industry as a whole through the birth of new and exciting relationships. We need to keep the retailers ALIVE or this "thing" I love may die a slow death. Remember this site is for us "the cigar smoker" please keep the ideas, questions, comments and concerns coming. We need the cigar world to embrace this site and allow us to help keep our B&M's alive and kickin' while filling our humidors with what we love to enjoy.

Thank you for the response! I still see the problem with inflated prices though - how many shops would still have the Camacho Liberties from any of the years to even try and compete on price. I guess it comes down to the fact that for an out of production cigar you have to expect to pay more, but for ones being sold now you might be able to get some good deals. Mike I still might put that to the test ;) I doubt anyone can beat the price for Nub Cammies I have found online. Jason – I see now – only retailers allowed to offer! Thank you for the response!

And also without seeing the companies name, how would you know if they are reputable and won't put opus bands on dominican 3000's or a frank band on a el triunfador. May not a problem with boxes because you could say this is bullshit give me a refund, but singles through 5packs would be easy to rip people off. What would stop people from doing that? Would ISO.com be liable? I would rather pay more from a reputable source that I trust than some joe blow cigar shop I have never heard of. A rating system that is not rigged would be a great way to ease some concerns but what would you do in the meantime. I have not seen the site yet so I may be ignorant to this whole thing. Great idea, just needs some fine tunning before I use it. A concern I would have is how do you know that you are getting the correct vitage if you ask for a particular year.

I would like to stress that ISOCigars is not only for hard to find cigars, but for any cigar that you are going to buy! As far as the Frank goes They are sold out everywhere at retail Shops. That means that no one will fulfill the order because this is only available to retailers to fill your ISOs. Some cigars that I have been able to find though are 2002 Camacho Libertys, and the Camacho/Litto Gomez Face Off. Now for the last response we cannot stop people from submitting bogus offers, but with your help we can weed out the retailers that are making these offers. Just e-mail us and we will take care of it. Thank You Jason Walt I want to thank you for doing a write up.

The only thing I see that may be annoying with it is that if you request a certain cigar and they don't have it, it will be annoying if you get responses like " we don't have that cigar but we do have something similar". I am also wondering if the prices will be outragous. I think this is really cool.

I know you can reject offers you dont like, but when you get into the limited production stuff from YEARS ago, you wont have much choice but to pay the price someone wants since nobody else might have it ;) I should sign up and ask for a Frank just to see what kind of prices are thrown out ;) Mike This is a neat idea, but I think it will be very limited.
