Looks a decent little haul to me.

How much ?

[Jimmeh]

29.95?

[daverave999]

Certainly seems better value than last month.

I feel this too, Im suspecting over time, there will be a trend of - decent value followed by not so decent...thus it balances over time...all the while building upto that 25% discount after 18months...

I currently dont feel ripped off, its only 30?/month, and being a newbie, its nice to try new things....like having a monthly suprise bomb arrive


My current feeling is, its worth while if your new...probably not if you already know what you like

Looks like a miked bag so far. This one looks much better than last.
Enjoy.

[Jimmeh]

I too joined (or should I say re-joined after 7 years on hiatus) the club a few months back. Sadly the Nicaraguan Chinchalero Novillo Torpedo was not the best of smokes. The gauge is at 66 and was just too thick, consequently affecting the flame, which kept requiring re-lighting, with persistent uneven burning. I'm not much partial to strong flavours which this cigar had at a very full bodied taste. A lot of smoke (which isn't too bad), but I felt the thickness and very strong taste ruined things. Of course I prefer a mild to medium bodied roast to my cigars.
