I had heard somewhere that it would be a good idea to open up a thread for the Cigar of the month Club discussion. First I would be curious as to how many of you guys out there are signed up? I would like to be able to post the cigars we get for each month on here to help promote the club, and in turn be able to discuss he cigars in the package. Let me know if y'all think this would be a good idea.

This is where a quote is supposed to be...Sorry I don't follow the crowd.

Don't belong to the Cigar of the Month Club, I prefer to make my own "samplers" from what I've read and the recommendations from fellow herfers.

I belong to the cigar.com club, and so far it's been great. My philosophy: rather than getting busy with life and work, I will let cigar.com keep my from getting complacent by sending me new cigars once a month! Works for me!

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace.

I have really enjoyed the club. The cigars are all excellent and it is a good way to try different cigars you might not purchase otherwise. I also really enjoy the 10% discount on all my other purchases at ccom.

I have belonged to the club for years and I would recommended it. You get great cigars that for a very reasonable price. It is a great way to sample cigars! It is like getting a PIF every month (you never know what you are going to get.)

I was in the cotmc for about a year, it was fun but money got a little tight and my cigar consumption slowed so I dropped out. only complaint I have about the club, one month they had a top brand sampler or somthing like that, it had a macanudo in it. I was actually a tad bit insulted.

I've been pretty happy with the club & I've been a member for about a year. It gets me to try cigars that maybe I normally wouldn't have purchased.

This month had all of Don Pepin's cigars in it. 2 from the JJ Series, 1 Cuban Classic, 1 from the regular line, & a 5 Vegas Miami cigar.

Last month had a Graycliff Double Espresso, a La Aura 1495, and i don't remember the last 3 (that sheet is at home)

February had a Cohiba Red Dot, Romeo y Julieta, Partagas, Fonseca Habana, and a 5 Vegas Classic.

so for 30 bucks it's really not a bad deal. I've gotten Gurkahs, Graycliffs (as you see above), Ashton VSGs, & other good smokes. Just be realistic when you sign up and don't expect to open the box and see a bunch of OpusX cigars hopping out at you.

Another club that I just signed up for this month is the Cigar Dave Officer's Club on a recommendation from someone on the Eotac forums. Has anyone gotten smokes from here before? If so what are some of the ones you have gotten? If not I'll post next month what I ended up with.

For you members out there what were the smokes for April? i am also curious if I will get the April selection when I signed up about 5 days ago. Thanks for posting here guys, with a little effort we can make this a good thread that if the people at CCom monitor might help sculpt the quality of what is liked and disliked. For instance the Macanudo probably should never be put in another package ever. That being said I am sure they have to put it in every once in a while due to contract clauses and what not.

I joined when I first started smoking cigars. It was a big help as I got to try all kinds of different brands and strengths and had a full printed explaination of what I was experiencing. The guys at Cigar.com are the best when it comes to helping a novice get through finding his favorites. Tom helped me find some brands which are still my favorites today. I think most smokers will stop using the club after a while because you get to a point where you either find your own process for experimenting with brands or fall into a groove where you find your favorite five or six and stick with them.

I got into cigars about 3 years ago... was a real rookie and between the cigar.com forums and at that time joining the COTM - I've gained a ton of knowledge and really had a chance to explore and see what types of smokes i like.

I'm still a COTM member btw...

I have never seen a macanudo in the COTM package the value of the cigars always exceeds what you pay for them bigtime. This month's selections were all from the Don Pepin and included: Don Pepin Garcia Series JJ Maduro Beliicoso Don Pepin Garcia Series JJ, Sublime 5 Vegas Miami Torp Don Pipin Garcia Cuban Classic, 1979 Don Pepin Garcia Blue Invictos

golf cigar junkie just told you what april was but, if it was your first cotmc bundle than you would have received: ghurka's: Titan, Beast, Legend curchill, and figurado, and another nice one, i can't remember which one. but none the less, its a freakin hot deal for just 30 bucks. you also get really cool e mail specials too. i've been doing it for 1 year and a month now. never looked back. i also own my own store too and it still is profitable to be in the club just for the heads up on new and cool smokes that are about to or just came out.

"You don't choose the cigar,
The cigar chooses you"

Everything said is true. I really enjoy the club but don't forget about receiving 10% off all your regular purchases also. If you buy $300 in a month the club is basically free. $100 in a month the club only costs $20. With the sticks they normally include the $30 is well worth it. I guess what I am saying is it's a sweet deal!

I can't stand it any longer, I've wanted to do the club yet never did. Now I'm a proud member of the COTM club. I hope my wife doesn't freak when she see's that I paid for the year in advance!

Nice Job! You will enjoy it. If you have one month that makes you unhappy I would be surprised. It's nice once a month to get a package of cigars in the mail that you didn't specifically order. I usually forget about it until the mail comes and puts a smile on my face. Nice to get something other than bills.
