As I've said before. I usually don't care for samplers because they put in 1-2 cigars to grab your attention, and then the rest are usually sub-average. They seem to throw in cigars which were suppose to be good but didn't live up to the hype. Usually that causes an overstock and they have higher MSRP which jacks up the value of the sampler.
There are a few good samplers out there. I bought 2 today.

Every cigar there is good. Look at the names. La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial, a fantastic cigar. San Cristobal which is my favorite looking cigar on the market and is a great smoke. Tatuaje Havana VI, excellent. And DPG Black & Blue, just great.

The Nub Top Ten Sampler includes:
2 - Nub 460 Cameroon (4" x 60)
2 - Nub 460 Connecticut (4" x 60)
2 - Nub 460 Habano (4" x 60)
2 - Nub 460 Maduro (4" x 60)
2 - Nub 466 Box-Press Torpedo Cameroon (4" x 66)

Some don't care for Nub, some really enjoy them. I've only had one (Cameroon) and I enjoyed it. I ordered this sampler as well today. I think I will really enjoy the Maduro and Habano and I know I like the Cameroon. I found this sampler back in July but they were out of stock. I posted the deal on another forum and like 15 different people ordered it, some placing multiple orders. They sold out before I could get mine, and when they came back in stock they went from $30.00 to $35.00
