I know nothing about cigars. Was considering getting my husband a cigar of the month club membership. He knows very little about cigars but recently started getting into them.
Are the clubs worth it? any advice?

Try the search feature first (on the site) if you have a basic question because often times it has been answered.

Try here to start, but after reading EC's comment I would follow his advice:

They generally overcharge and as you cannot chose what cigars you would like quite often the cigars are "Dog Rockets" (I realize that you are not a cigar person, but use your imagination)

I would go to the local cigar shop, if there is one and ask the proprieter about some of the better cigars. I actually find that cigars are quite a personal item and may best be left to the individual.

I agree, also don't ever buy anything for him from Thompson's. Try Holts.com and click on the sampler icon. There are some great choices there


here is the link

"Cuban seed tobaccos grown in Nicaragua and Cuba. The wrapper would be from Cuba. The binder leaves would be from Nicaragua. For the ligero tobacco in the filler, he would use two types, one from Esteli and the other from Jalapa in Nicaragua. The other filler components, seco and viso, would come from Cuba, the former from Villa Clara, the latter from Pinar del Rio. That Cigar, he says with pride, would score 100 points."
