Is it Best to Buy Cigars From a Supermarket or a Cigar Shop?

By Francina Alvarez
Is it Best to Buy Cigars From a Supermarket or a Cigar Shop?

Do you know if your local supermarket or grocery store sells cigars? Are they as good as the ones from a cigar shop? Finding the right cigar spot to shop at can be quite challenging. However, if you are considering buying cigars in a local supermarket, you must question their freshness and if refrigeration conditions are ideal. Is it really the best option? Here at Cigar Country, we offer you the best quality assured and a wide variety of fresh premium cigars. You’ll find more than 20 different premium brands and over 800 cigars – shop now!

Refrigeration and variety in Supermarkets

As a cigar connoisseur, it’s no big news that to keep your cigars fresh they must be stored at a certain temperature. Sometimes, when buying your cigars at shops other than our local store this can be a problem. Not all supermarkets offer refrigeration which assures you the necessary cigar freshness. Additionally, mobile supermarkets in Punta Cana or the best online supermarkets in the USA cannot provide a large variety. Rare and unique cigars are only available at Cigar Country. Nevertheless, we make sure that our cigars are stored at the proper temperature. To ensure freshness during the delivery, they’re packed in Boveda humidity bags.

Furthermore, thanks to our vast portfolio we can offer the best, rarest, and premium cigars on the market. Certainly, the Dominican Republic has great cigars to offer and astounding brands. Some of them like La Flor Dominicana, Vega Fina, La Aurora, and many more! If you live in or are traveling to the Dominican Republic, you are welcome to visit our Megastore in La Romana. We also offer free shipping on national and international orders!
