Sunday Surprise

[PerpetualNoob]

Am I the only one who wishes CI would drop the Joe's Sunday Surprise? I guess it's an easy way to have one day a week when they don't have to think too much, but I'd much rather have something else. If they feel like they need a theme for Sundays, there are plenty of better ones they could pick. I'm willing to spend, say, $20-25 for a 5-pack of something I haven't tried, just on its reputation, but not for something I don't even know what I'm getting. That's just crazy.

I agree, and I'll add...

I wish they had more 5 packs on Jams. I would buy a lot more than I do if I didn't have to buy 10 at a time. If I haven't tried it yet, I don't want ten of something. If I have tried it and I liked it, I'll just buy a box.

I bought the Sunday surprise 4 weeks in a row then I quit. I was afraid my luck would run out and they'd send me some Acids.

If I don't know what it is they're not getting my money.

I would agree, I would never go to a B&M and hand them $25 and say, "surprise me".

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

[harley33]

I agree. I don't even go to the website on Sunday. I would be curious if their sales on Sundays match a typical day's sales.

Nub, Man-o-war, Padilla Miami and 1932. All good cigars, (although I'm not really sold on the whole Nub "concept"). But like I said, figured my luck couldn't hold forever so I quit buying them.

Maybe when their sales numbers drop off enough they will pull it. I like you will not pay hard to come by money for something I don't know what I'm getting. BTW there is not one cigar listed by Pugsley that I really care for. To me they are not even good yard gars. All they would do is end up in the WTT/WTS section here at Puff.

Different strokes, Dan. While I'll admit the Nubs and Man-o-wars are probably not something I'd buy again, I enjoyed the Padilla Miami and the 1932 would rank solidly on my top 10 list.

Ive only got it twice, frist time DPG cuban classics for 17.95, and the 2nd time man o war for 15.95, all in all I like the sunday surprize, both times it was a good deal.

I second that...I wish they had 5 pack instead of 10 pack

I've only taken my chances once, but I got a 5 pack of Rocky Patel Vintage '90 Toros. I only ended up smoking one of them... the rest have been/will be given away.

Hit and miss for me. The detectives over there, are pretty good about giving me an idea of what to expect. I am tempted tihs week because its the most expensive SS I have seen however I don't really think I will be biting unless it turns out to be something I really want to try.
