As a relatively new cigar smoker, I have been thinking really hard about the Cigar of the Month Club. I think it will give me a good way to sample many different cigars, and find out what I like etc... One thing that I'm kind of hung up on, is pulling the trigger on the yearly cost... I'm not sure if I can swing a $360 price tag past my wife without catching a lot of flack LOL... I can pull off $40 here and there buying 5 packs etc. Do you guys think it is worth it for me to save up a little dough to join the club for a year? or should I stick to buying singles in the B&M to figure out what I like?

    They also have a monthly plan where you pay as you go.

    I pay for mine monthly. It is a good way to try sticks you wouldn't normally try. It will expose you to lots of different stuff. The discount is nice if you buy a lot from ccom. I do. The actual value of the cigars you get on a monthly basis is debatable. Personally I don't feel it's been a very good value for the past 6 or 7 months. I've seen the selections I got show up on the DD, or in samplers for significantly less than what I paid. In addition to just adding up the value of the sticks for what they regularly go for. My suggestion would be to try it for 3 months and then go from there.

    Do it! You'll eventually be forgiven, and you'll be happy long after, at least, until next year, when you do it again.
