Re: Monthly subscription - April 2010

I would say no.

[Drewmidorn]

Nope

[ctrl]

I have to agree tbh
the carlos and the cao are the only 2 I fancy to keep tbh

Lets see what next month brings
I shall post same format topic, with poll, each month...

just read the leaflet that came with the subscription...

The number of cigars varies from 4 to 6 month by month
You get 5% off thier shop (except tabbaco and machine cigars)
You get a cigar book after 6 months
You get a cigar case after 12 months
You get 25% off in store after 18 months (except tabacco and machine cigars)

[eggopp]

Def not..

[EugeneSax]

Whether you personally like the selection or not, objectively those cigars have got to be worth an average ?6 each. However I wouldn't call it great value (unless that unbranded sticks a flavour bomb).

That 25% discount's something to aim for though, so long as the humidor's not going to be full with 18 months-worth of unwanted NC's.

[Simon-JG-hr]

Sticks for bombing...

I think that, as EugeneSax mentions, it is probably not a bad deal at all on the monetary front. However, unless a couple of them are real revelations, it won't have been great value from a discovery point of view - but then again, that's always the way with mystery selections... (Could unearth something you'd never normally try, or just confirm why you wouldn't normally try it...)

I'm going with a tentative no... (Though the various other incentives for membership could be a saving grace for the scheme).

[skyhigh]

i would say no, you'd expect to have atleast 1 reallly nice stick in to grab your attention.

[cj121]

I'm going to have to sit in the 'no' corner too ctrl.

[cigarsmoke]

I have to say if you have ?30 a month to spend on cigars then IMHO I think you would get better value for money off BOTL on this forum.

[Stevieboy]

I have to say they're not really worth it pal...thanks for taking the plunge and letting the rest of us know what you got though...much appreciated mate
