You are not told what each of the cigars are - they are just numbered #1-5. Sometimes they are test blends, sometimes they are older cigars redone, sometimes they are cigars with a twist (Little Boris with a different wrapper sort of thing). Last year and this year I believe, you also get 2 exclusive cigars related to Cigar Rights of America in a small coffin.
There are other random times where exclusive cigars are sold to the group - one summer there were Summer Packs and sometimes at Christmas time the Petemas cigars are released. Same deal, you aren't told what they are. There is also a chance at the end of the year to purchase any of the cigars left over - kits, Petemas, etc. So the opportunity to stock up is there (like Tony does with TAA), but you're stocking up on mystery cigars essentially.
There are other items exclusive to the club such as wine or bourbon that Pete has had his hand in. I've never gone for those myself.
This is a club that I've been in for 4 years now and each year I keep thinking, should I reup. So far, the answer has been yes, but I will say I really do it out of support for Pete than I do the "oh my God I have to be a part of this" mindset.
