Default JR Trick or Treat?

Did anyone buy either one of the samplers this year? If so, what was in it?

Last year's sampler SUCKED!

Hoping this year was better. I did not participate.

I heard the JR trick or treat last year was a bust for most people.

Yeah, General Cigar owns JR, so if you like stuff put out by General then you might enjoy the Trick or Treat, otherwise I would stay away...

As I remember, some were very happy with the scwag they got last year. Not the greatest assortment of cigars but ashtrays, shirts and lighters.

Altadis owns the majority of JR not General.

some good deals to be found here but I wouldn't trust them to pick out my cigars for me. They're likely to give you the stuff they can't sell.
