I have had nothing but over-the-top experience with cigarsinternational. I know that won't always be the case, but for now, I am a happy customer.
To add to NANP recommendations, you might try www.2guyssmokeshop.com. I have dealt with them in the past and they seem to be a good company.

I do NOT recommend Cigars International, their auction arm Cigar Bid, JR, or Thompsons. All of these have, at minimum, issues with proper storage and horrible customer service.
I have never had an issue with either Thompson or Cigars International (or their subsidiaries, General Cigar or Getsnus). I've never had to contact Thompson, but the customer reps at Cigars Int. have been nothing but great the few times I've had to contact them. I stop in person whenever I'm in PA and have seen their warehouse, and I wonder as to what type of improper storage issues you have with Cigars International? Seeing as they're owned by one of the largest tobacco companies in the world (Swedish Match) it would seem as though they would be a little bit more on the ball than some of their competitors.
Of course, this is only my opinion. To each their own.
I am a cigar man myself. If you want ANYTHING, check out cigarbid.com and save yourself money. And I see that you are from Boston, check out GLoucester street cigar. , the owner Jose is a great guy. There is also two guys in NH which is just HUGE. If you want a great cigar, I HIGHLY recommend the Oliva V, my personal favorite for a great cigar and not paying top dollar. I also highly recommend a Padron 3000. Best cigar for 5 bucks.
Another cigar afficionado here. I hang out at Cigarpass, a great cigar forum which is completely self-moderated. The knowledge I have gleaned from that site just through reading, is immense.
My favourite cigars are the Partagas Serie D # 4, Padron 1926 series and anything with a Davidoff band.

RE: Cigars International.
Agreed. I've only had positive experiences dealing with CI and CBid. Yes, the sticks come a bit wet, but I'd rather receive them a bit wet vs. a bit dry. Some rest in the humidor to bring the RH down and you're good to go.
Cory you forgot one thing. Please complete this post in the proper manner.....
