Hey guys. Interested in dabbling into these a little bit and was wondering if CC samplers exist. One of the vendors I was looking at didnt look like they had any, so I am unsure. If there are samplers, what should be in there? Typical go-to's?? Thanks guys.

Some vendors do have samplers, but typically charge a per-stick premium. Shoot around a PM or two with what you're looking for and I bet BOTLs might help you out!
Thanks Jim! Ive had a few brothers already with some kind responses. And thanks everyone for the replies. Just nosing around in these cc is fun in itself.

just a general clarification for the NFGs: it is poor form to inquire about sources for CCs. patience pays off. give it a few months, trade a little, chat a little, make your bones. also, read all the stickies in the cuban cigars forum.

and, FWIW, have had my eye on a few from time to time, just to try out several marcas in contrast to each other. upcharge, yes, but it might be worth it if you have a broad palate, or are just starting that journey.

Deleted post... But was really trying to gain info about samplers or CC's in general. What to try? Any special stuff to look out for, info from more knowledgeable brothers. Maybe I worded it incorrectly.

Sorry

Yeah sorry I didn't realize that the marketplace didn't have cc stuff I will read the cc forum stickies in that forum just didn't know if you had to wait to get access to that also. And thank you java for the info.

... and just to clarify, we had not gotten to that point YET in this thread, and i have seen them devolve fast, so was trying to be preemptive. asking about flavor profiles, size preferences, differentiation in production years, this is all cool. however, "gee, a sampler seems like a good idea, where can i find one..." is usually going to lead downhill.

this was not at anyone particular, just a general reminder.
