Default Cigar of the Month Club

I am considering joining a monthly cigar club. Where you pay X amount each month to receive 5 or 10 cigars a month. This is something I have considered for a while, but have never done it because I am sometimes picky on the cigars I want to smoke. However, lately I have reconsidered this option.

So can you brother and sisters help me out and suggest any monthly cigar clubs that you may be aware of and please share any feedback that you may have if you have used any of them.

Thanks,
Jackie

From my experience they send you a decent stick or two but the vast majority of the cigars are not. I think you're better off just buying samplers off the WTS forum.

Agreed! There are some fine deals on great smokes in the WTS forum!

None of them are worth it. Buy your own and experiment. Try samplers on the devil if you really want some random sticks

I will disagree. I am a member of the COTMC at Empire Cigars in Raleigh. There has only been one month when I felt like I didn't get a good value. Some of the COTMC selections can be seen in the following links. I have tried a lot of new sticks that I would not have tried otherwise. They never put any "junk" in the lineup. The price is $29.95 per month. I think they charge $5 shipping, but I just pick mine up.

I've been wondering about trying one of these. I see them offered on several websites.
I guess this is me tagging this thread for further knowledge.

Ive been a member of CI's COTMC for a while now and they send 1 or 2 good sticks every month. I highly recommend it if you like trying out all kinds of cigars even the cheapo ones. I found some cheapo cigars that i really like because of that.. Just my opinion
