Sunday Surprise

[PerpetualNoob]

Cigars, and tastes in general, are such personal, subjective things, there's virtually nothing you could put in there that 1/3 to 1/2 of the people would have rather not had. I could see having a "dealer's choice" thing as a line item, maybe broken down by, say, country and general size, for those who are feeling lucky. Just not as the Daily Joe. Or put them on the Jambalaya, or something. Seems like they would sell a lot more, that's all.

They've had surprise grab bags on the Jambalaya's before. I think I paid $22 and got 12 decent cigars, including a Decade, ITC, Padilla '68, and Gurkha Legend.

Well, no surprises today. They have 10 DGP Blue Generosos for $40. Pretty tempting, actually. I've only had one of them, and it was awesome.

I hope this is a permanent change. I think they should do blender or brand themes every Sunday for a month at a time. DPG for a month, Rocky for a month, etc. Something they already sell tons of would be good.

Just out of curiosity, what's a list of things you've gotten when purchasing the sunday surprise for those who have done it?

DPG Cuban Classic
Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 gold label
Nub Cameroon
Rocky Patel Vintage 1990
