    Cigars and Spirits monthly cigar club

    I wanted to get your opinion about this. It looks like the equivalent of a wine-of-the-month club, but for cigars. $35/month, and you get five cigars mailed directly to you each month.

    I was part of CI's cigar of the month club a while ago and it wasn't for me. Ive also done beer of the month club in the past and didn't think that was for me either. Both for pretty much the same reason. IMO your money is better spent when you decide what you buy. I think the odds are a lot better of finding stuff you'll like because you know your palate and preferences.

    The problem is you will likely receive a great number of cigars you can't or won't smoke. This is why I never join those types of services. Why spend money on random cigars when you can use the same money to buy exactly what you want.
    Puffing away since the early 90s. Still going strong.

    You get cigars rated from 88-100. Sounds good on the surface, but if the same company you signed up for are the ones who are providing the ratings. So how do you really know if your getting good cigars are 88 point dog rockets? Now if they said 88-100 rated cigars by CA then I would consider it.

    Good points, gents!

    I guess for me, starting out new like I am, I haven't yet settled on "what I like". I think I have smoked 7 or 8 cigars, total? The idea of having new cigars show up is somewhat appealing, but it's true that the cigars might not be in my wheelhouse, even if I haven't totally figured out what my wheelhouse is yet.

    I doubt they'd be absolute garbage cigars though, as I imagine the magazine doesn't want this to reflect badly on them.

    So we have learned two things Cameron.

    1) never say having cigars show up would be appealing. That's a dangerous statement.
    2) not only would I join the cigar hustler CotM but I'd join the cigar federation one as well.
    Better to be thought a fool, Than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

    You would know, you nuked me with *thirteen* cigars in our "trade"!

    Sounds like samplers would be the way to go. No guessing as to what I will get, with prices being better per stogie, in many cases. Kayla even sells samplers that help support this wonderful site!

    There's only one of these cigar of the month clubs that I'd actually consider and it's from http://www.cigarhustler.com/

    I am NOT a member but I've seen member's posts of stuff like this:


    same member(of another forum) posted:
    Last Month's sampler:
    ◦ Tabak Negra Toro
    ◦ Viaje Platino Sueno
    ◦ Alec Bradley Black Market Churchill
    ◦ My Father Le Bijou Petite Robusto
    ◦ El Centurion Robusto

    next month was:


    month after that:


    His posts pretty much sealed the deal that this is a legitimately good club. I've never seen a CotM club sampler that I wouldn't toss away half the cigars, until this.

    Those are by far the best CoTM shipments I've ever seen. They sell some of the best samplers too IMO.

    My issue with a lot of those "of the month" clubs is that they pass off stuff that companies can't move. Inventory that companies have surplus of and liquidate. As in thinkgs that people aren't really buying.

    Now that isn't all terrible. There are some great sticks out there that just aren't "trendy" or "in." But a lot of them are just that, liquidated sticks that no one wants to buy to smoke. So these monthly clubs buy them up at a discount and send them to whoever signs up for them.

    I am in the club of choose what you buy with your own money.
