Hello, my name is Sandra Di Lella and I am the president of OceanCigars.com, a small cigar e-tailer (and now cigar shop) based out of Miami, Florida.

I started Ocean Cigars in April 2002 because I loved what I was doing while working for my parents, running a cigar sales website.  I met lots of great people that have become good friends and I enjoyed learning about and tasting new cigars.  Most importantly, a lot of my clients appreciated my personalized services and attention to detail, and I enjoyed that most.

Six months later, I finally completed this website, and am excited to offer you not only the best in cigars and accessories at the best prices I am able to provide, but with exceptional client care as well.

My mission is to provide you with: a great variety of cigars, reasonable prices, immediate shipping, friendly service and more.

Do you want to try a specific cigar you can't find anywhere else?  Let me know and I'll try to hunt it down for you.  If I can't find it, I'll put you on the "Most Wanted" list and notify you immediately if I locate it.

Want to make sure your favorite cigars are always in stock?  Tell me and I'll have a reserve just for you at any interval you like.

Want to have fresh cigars on your doorstep every two weeks?  You tell me what you want shipped and at what interval, and you won't even have to remember to order them. You will simply receive a tracking email from UPS a few days before your cigars arrive. Your cigars will always be in stock and you will always have your favorites on hand.

Do you have cigar or humidor questions?  Ask me.  If I don't know the answer - I will find it for you.

If you sign up for my newsletter, you will receive a quarterly email detailing any new items I've received and offering you the bonuses for the month.  I plan on having free shipping days, discounts on cigars, new cigars to sample, and anything else I can cook up. I will never give or sell your information to anyone for any reason and you will never receive spam-type emails from me.

Have a problem with your order?  I always have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on every product that passes through my hands.  If you're not happy with ANY aspect of your order, contact me and I will make it right immediately.  I've been lucky so far not to have had one yet.

UPDATE: February 2004

I am very proud to announce that I'm opening my first cigar shop in the South Florida area.  What this means to you is that I will now be able to go direct with some of your favorite manufacturers and bring you exciting new lines at great prices.

I invite you to come have a smoke and some coffee if you're ever in the area, I'd love to meet more fellow cigar smokers.

Many thanks, as always, to all those who have supported Ocean Cigars from its very modest beginnings such a short time ago.  You know who you are.

I hope you enjoy shopping at OceanCigars.com and your favorite smokes!

Best regards,
