I have had Privada cigar club and Smoke inn for a couple of months now. I actually really enjoy both. Smoke inn gives me a variety of medium level cigars at a great price (30). Really allows me to try sticks that I never pulled the trigger on. Privada has relationships with cigar vendors and finds specially made for the club or rare cigars to offer. Pros and cons to this but for me every cigar I have had so far was amazing so it works for me. Also, the farm rolled for 20 bucks a month is really cool as they are high quality sticks. I have enjoyed these so much that I am trying to decide between small batch and cigar and pipes to add another. Just a cool way to smoke different sticks. I am always pressured to buy higher quantity (5 packs or boxes) due to it being cheaper that way so this balances that out.
"Just a cool way to smoke different sticks."
That's exactly my reason behind considering a cotm club.
There are just so many nc's out there that its difficult to decide what to try, other than reading forums and online reviewers and Cigar Aficionado reviews for ideas.
Plus, there are plenty that you can only find as 5 packs or more, and I hate buying a 5 pack of something new just to discover that I don't care for the cigar. Waste of money from my cigar budget, and then I have to pay $8.45 for shipping to give the rest away.
Much prefer trying new ones as 1 or 2 singles as much as possible.
In theory at least, a cotm club really seems to fit the bill for me, but there's a ton of them, all at different prices, so having a hard time choosing one, thus my reason for asking for opinions here.
I have seen Smoke Inn mentioned multiple times across the forums I posted this on, which is a good sign.
Will have to check out the Privada club, as that's the first I've seen it mentioned.
Thanks for your info and opinions
Eta: looks like Privada has a waiting list right now, which is a bummer as who knows how long that will take, but will still check them out
