Samplers

Post by Kip » Mon Jun 19, 2017 10:49 pm

I wish more retailers would offer samplers of good cigars at a fair price. It seems the overwhelming majority of samplers are attempts to blow out cigars that don't sell without the extra incentive of what else is in the sampler. 3 good cigars at a small discount are no longer a bargain if I have to buy 5 turdsticks with them. I don't want to pay for and subsequently suffer through the bad just to save $0.50 a stick on the good. Paying $2 apiece for the undesirables kill the savings at any rate. I understand the concept and why things are as they are. I'm just sitting around wishin'.

Don't numerous brands/lines offer samplers of a specific cigar and its cousins? Or are you not, then, getting the desired discounts?

What I'm actually looking for is someone to put together all my favorite cigars and sell them at a good discount. Y'know - service my every need :)

That is, actually, a good idea. Thompson or CI or others could do a "Take any 10 different ten singles and take 10% off" or "Buy any 9 singles, get a 10th free" kinda deal.

That is a good idea. You are correct, sir.
