I think @Patrickbrick was in it. Not sure of the perks, but if you spend $2500 in 6 months you get your money back.

worth a try.
I say go for it, Frank.
sounds like a challenge
LOL. If @peter4jc aka "The Counselor" says to go for it, you have to.

I think it is. I don't buy near the volume you do tho.
But is it reverse psychology?
Supposedly, they send a welcome gift that is worth at least as much as the subscription fee, so it, in essence, costs nothing to join. If I knew it would be sticks I want I'd be in.
I think it's a great idea on their part, because it would tend to make me buy from them just to make the subscription pay off. Thing is (and I admittedly don't know what special promos, etc they give to VIP members) by watching sales and auctions I can buy most of my cigars cheaper than SB.
True on that ^ but I still buy quite a bit from them...but only on items that are 18 percent off or more. That added to free ship no tax and the 5 percent rewards means I can get lots of stuff for at least as cheap as other sites.
Case in point, 25 percent off sitewide for the fourth of july I used to buy a box of padrons. After using my rewards dollars, I got the box of 64s for 180 delivered.
Don't think I'll spend 2500 in six months, even at the rate I buy and smoke, but extra discounts are tempting. However, the math geek in me knows that the law of diminishing returns applies, and the 5 percent rewards will be smaller with bigger discounts.
The gift sounds nice, though if it's a bunch of zino platinums and davidoff anniversarios and Winston Churchill's I'd be bummed a little.
Intriguing. I'll sleep on it. Thanks guys.

The gift in the past was $300-400 box of Davidoff LEs (Year of, iirc), but last time I believe it was something lesser and not to my liking. Also you get 20% off everyday with 30% off specific categories in the same format as their nearly daily emails, although there are minimum purchase requirements on those. I was thinking about it but I am full and overflowing into tupperware and ziplock bags right now.
I think you can do $2500 @VegasFrank ! When I read that I figured 6 months would be easy and you might be slightly challenged by 6 days!
Nah I don't think so. 410 a month? I've done 410 in a month. I've even done 8:20 in 2 months and once in a while 1230 in three months, but never 2500 in 6 months, so if I bought the membership, I would be buying it for the discounts along the way.
Correct me if I’m wrong but that’s 182 days / $2500 = $13.75 cigar a day.
That’s really not that bad.
Edit....
In actuality that’s never smoking 🐕 🚀 again. Guess that a really good thing.
Well, if you smoke 6 a day, you can squeeze some 🚀 s in!
