Joined a Cigar monthly Club
I just joined a cigar month club to night. Not sure what to expect. I have yet to smoke an Opus X and I will see about order a fee to try them out. I will also try a few others and see if this monthly club thing works out.
What has been your experience with this type of thing? |

This pretty much sums it up but you never know. You may find something that you like that you'd never have bought.

Re: Joined a Cigar monthly Club
Well I hope this is not the case, but if many have tried then I guess I will be one that will cancel after my my first shipment.
I hope that I won't have to as I am still try to develop a broader taste. I seem to like the high $ stuff and would like to have a nice mix. I am hoping that this will help. If not I can join the club that tried it out then said, "this is crap". |

Re: Joined a Cigar monthly Club
I am a premiere red wine club member through KL wines, and I get two awesome bottles a month that I can re buy for cheap and that are highly rated....but I'm afraid of joining a cigar club because I don't want to get stuck with petrified Gurkha and Onyx dog sticks!

Re: Joined a Cigar monthly Club
Several yrs back my girl gifted me a subscription to the Cigar of the Month club run by cigar.com. It probably wasn't worth the coin but it did expose me to a wide variety of cigars; not all of which were bad. Sure there were many I didn't like, but it allowed me explore different flavor profiles. For example, coming out of that experience I was clear on the concept that I didn't care for a maduro wrapper.
Since you've already joined, sit back and enjoy the ride. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Joined a Cigar monthly Club
I've been a member of the Cigar.com one for two months. I'm not sure it is worth it but there have been a few I enjoy. I wish that there was a more diverse selection. For example, it is apparently Greycliff month this month.

Re: Joined a Cigar monthly Club
I wouldn't mind joining one if it had a reputation of not sending crap.
I rarely even buy samplers because it seems there are 3 name brand of cigars, and 1 stick that is cheap junk. I go for the 5 packs and hope for the best. |

Worst case scenario, you learn what you DON'T likeright off the bat. And you might do OK. Much better
to hang here, read reviews, shop armed with that knowledge, and or trade with brothers, or buy fivers from same. I won't lie, though, I did worse. My first week back to cigars back in the early 90s, I tore up the new-fangled interweb thing signing up for FREE CIGARS. Then later I was like, "Dude, you're an idiot", lol. "Go BUY you some cigars". That's how I discovered my favorite, the Padrons. |

Re: Joined a Cigar monthly Club
I joined Cigars Direct in hopes that they send of some decent stuff. It also seemed that they had some decent pricing on the higher end cigars.
I also am interested in buy a La cuba de roma Mia Amor and I fI like the box price did not seem to bad. I also am think that I will try my first opus x from them. If i like there box price seems ok. |

Re: Joined a Cigar monthly Club
How can you possibly think these prices are good?!? I realize taxes can be bad in certain states (I live in NY most of the year so I should know) and a lot of shops raise prices quite a bit specifically on opus but these prices are insane!

Never trying and opus or really looking at them until reading the review here and on line I would say that its was an ok price. I was in VA D.C. and stopped by a shop and found prices to be about half of what I would pay here in Cali. i talked to the guy to see if he would ship out to me and he said he would. At the same time I also want to support a local shop that has some good stuff, great knowledge, treats people well and has always provided the wife with some good picks to bring home to me as a surprise. so I will do some more looking for better deals, but I don't want to worry about receiving old cigars that are dry. |

The Patels are probably $3 a piece The 5 Vegas are probably $3 a piece Montecristo's might be $4-5 a piece More information on which 5 vegas/monte's you got would help. All and all you got some daily smokes to try, depending on your budget that can be a good or a bad thing. If you only like spending $40-85 bucks on a box it seems this cigar monthly thing would bring you a bunch of daily smokes. You could continue it to try and decide on box purchases or 5'ers if that is the price range you like. If you don't mind spending $5-$10 per cigar then I would say you should cancel your subscription. |

Re: Joined a Cigar monthly Club
Gurkha's and 5 Vegas are goat tirds, Vintage 90's are decent every day smokes and NC cristo's are nice depending on what you got.
