Anyone subscribe to the Cigar of the Month Club?

[Malik23]

I was just looking at the add for it in CI's catalog. Worth it? Good sticks? And does anyone know if this is the same club as what C&H ( the people that do the wine of the month, etc) sells?

I would love to hear about this too. I looked at the CI COTM club and it didn't seem worth it to me.

My wife bought me a 6 month (every other month) subscription to this one...

I like it. I get to try different sticks that I probably wouldn't buy myself. They also include discounts on box purchases of the cigars they send.

Thanks for the beads Malik

The CI one is 4 cigars for $20 or 8 (2 of each in the 4 club) for $30. Seems a bit better deal if the cigars are on the same level as the one you've posted, 5 for $25/month.

I didn't pay for my subscription so its all good to me. I've actually seen some other clubs where the give you a sampler from one cigar brand, just all different sizes. I thought that was a cool concept because I don't like to make my decision if I like a cigar or not by smoking just one. Just my

Yeah, that's the nice thing about CI's cigar of the month club. If you get the $30 one, you get 8 cigars, 2 each of 4 different kinds. It's not a bad average cost -- $3.75 each (no shipping except for the first month). Otherwise, it's $5 each. As long as they give you some decent cigars it might not be a bad deal.

Cigar.com does one for $30 that looks really good. I'm not in the club, but if I were to join one, I'd join theirs. Here's a cut an' paste from their website (I'm not affiliated with them in any way--just so you know)...

The Cigars
Our philosophy is simple. Offer 5 great cigars every month - the perfect way to sample a smoke before you buy - all at a great price. We build the 5 cigars every month in the club based on a particular theme - cigars that may come from the same factory, the same type of wrapper, the same country or share the same size. We base the theme on 1 Feature cigar - a world-class cigar like the Ashton VSG Illusion or the Macanudo Vintage '88. We then include 2 Recommended cigars on that Feature cigar - cigars that you might not have known or otherwise have tried - cigars that share the same quality caliber as the Feature cigar, but perhaps not as exclusive or expensive. Finally, we include 2 Every Day Smokes - cigars that are affordable, dependable and great to enjoy every day of the week.

10% Discount!
All members of our Cigar of the Month Club will also receive a 10% discount on all products sold on Cigar.com during the life of your membership (except for specially marked items and sale items).

Shipping Included!
Don't worry about paying more for shipping of the club - shipping is included in the price of the club! We ship our club during the last week of every month. For example, our July club will ship during the last week in June - to insure that your cigars are at your doorstep at the beginning of July. The cutoff date is the 27th day of the previous month.

Newsletter
When you receive your cigars each month, we'll provide you with a newsletter on why these particular cigars were chosen - what to expect from each cigar. We'll include: additional background on the brand of cigar, information on the particulars of a cigar, and an article to enhance your cigar experience.

That's interesting -- more cost per cigar than CigarIntl's (for $30, $6 each compared to $3.75), but the added benefit of 10% discount on purchases. Guess it depends on how often you buy cigars. Looks good though.
