Cigar of the Month Clubs

[jrfoxx]

Searched and couldn't find anything recent on Cigar of the Month Clubs, and I know that things can change over time, so looking for opinions on people's current cotm choices.

If you belong to one, which one and why?

Opinions on one's to avoid are helpful too

Nickel City Cigars sends high quality cigars along with different hot sauces and coffee beans, I currently am using Smoke Inns cotm for the past few months, the smokes are usually Toro’s but all good offerings and variety they also offer a Connoisseur Club ($49) with high end marcas wrapped in special numbered bands

For the Bum Secret Santa, I asked for a month's subscription to the Ezra Zion Coffee & Cigar Of The Month Club, and got it. Shoutout to Regiampiero - thanks again.

For $50, I do believe it was worth it.
Six cigars came that month (Dec 20). 4/6 smoked above their price. One, the month's exclusive, was very meh. Still have one left.

Very unique flavors. Top notch tobacco. Cool bands. They do catch flack, but I do believe they're worth the extra bucks.

Highly recommend the Blending Sessions. They have a monthly subscription, where like 10% is knocked off.

I was getting disappointed with them lately, but that may be because I was only on the $20 for 2 sticks plan. I looked their offerings over every time, though, and lately, I'd be pissed if I was paying what they ask for 8 a month, and got a CAO Brazilia in it. Great stick on it's own, but not for an expensive monthly subscription.

That is a tad disappointing. I enjoyed Sam Leccia's work when he was with Oliva & General. Since he has parted ways I think he has lost his way.

For those who are in a cotm and/or buy a fair number of samplers, which would you think is the best for trying out new Cigars?

Currently i just buy a few singles of something new after extensive research and also buy a fair number of samplers to try new smokes

I enjoyed Privada Cigar Club, but cancelled when we bought a new house. I've been meaning to sign back up. It's three cigars a month for $30. They're all super rare and nicely rested. It was fun to try new stuff. They also have a "farm rolled" option for $20. It's four unbanded factory seconds. I think I'll sign up for both again soon.

Just subscribed to the Privada CC Monthly Farm Rolls.

Always been interested in them. Talked about them a couple times on V-Herfs, and was recently MAW'd a pack. Smoked two, and I really enjoyed them.

I think it'll be a great way to explore some different factories, especially those unknown to me.

I might join the 4:20 club, new cigars every month with the labels removed. You smoke them and try to figure out who rolled them

Privada Farm Rolls

Aug 2022 is AJF. Not disappointed to have another 4 pack of these - the other two were good smokes. Plus now there's four towards the AJF Monthlong.

Also snagged the Rojas. Not sure which month these were.

Same price I'm paying for 4 banded cigars from Perfect Blend Society (which I have been very happy with every month, since i joined in March.

Just may have to add this one to it.

ETA: Was just getting ready to sign up for this and saw the charge $5.95 for shipping 4 cigars at $20. That brings the closer to $7 a cigar.

I think it's pretty cheesy that they charge shipping on such a small number of cigars.

Definitely has me rethinking this.

Privida Farm Rolled - Tabacalera Palma

This is a very interesting combo and factory for me.

I know the "Jochy" name, and the "Blanco" name, but didn't know the factory and brand ties to the names. Looks like Jochy isn't associated with Blanco cigars, which I've yet to have, I believe.

The brand names here aren't new - used to be a big Aging Room fan early on; had a Galera, but don't recall enjoying it; heard of SWAG, but the name is a red flag to me, so I don't bother; heard of Senorial but don't think I've ever seen them here. So, all-in-all, an interesting brand association I have here.

Not sure if I've had a Claro. Bit turned off by the 6x60, but I was the same way with CTs, so we'll see.

Overall really looking forward to these, but I'm not sure if I'll get to any soon beyond the Claro; and I may end the subscription after this month to put money towards soley CT stocking, since that is all I'm wanting lately.
