There's really not much else to say. All the companies you named are subsidiaries of a large multi-national corporation...I think it's "Swedish Match". So no matter which subsidiary you buy from the money you spend will ultimately end up in the same place. The people who founded CI also started all the other companies. They sold them all off at the same time about a year ago.
As far as which one is better...it depends on what cigar you are looking for at the time. One branch might be running a deal on X cigar while the other has a deal on Y. If you're looking for X then choose the subsidiary that has a sale going on for X. You just got to shop around.
