I've been looking around for good samplers for you to try, but most are primarily junk, or overpriced.
This is a great deal on a great sampler. Spend over 50 (including something without MSRP limits and you can use the botlorg code for a bigger discount.

This CAO sampler is pretty good. Not much junk in it. https://www.famous-smoke.com/best of cao variety sampler cigars/item 53110

About 50/50 on this one, but some good ones to try.

An Oliva sampler would be good as well. Good quality for the money. The Cain and nub lines are great.
This one has some of their better stuff in it.

Some good ones in here.

These are good, but I'd want to get them for at least 40% off

May get your best prices on these at the cigarauctioneer.com side of famous. Just be really careful on auction sites, you can really get yourself into trouble and end up with a lot of regrets.
Good work @Glassman; bravo sir!

I often ask myself this question...like daily. I’ve kinda just been going into the local shops and buying whatever I think I may enjoy. Some I have, others I have not. Stopped into the local lounge the other day and had a Macanudo vintage 2006, very enjoyable. I have quite a bit of stuff in bags here just kind of aging as well. Things I’ve been looking at also are the archetype sampler and apparently anything BLTC.

Samplers look really good
Samplers can be good when you're trying to find your wheelhouse - they likely won't seem so appealing once you've figured out what you like, but you gotta start somewhere so all the better if you can get a deal on some variety.

Nothing wrong with this either, it's still trying new smokes. IMO part of the fun of getting into cigars is trying to decide what to try next... you might be able to save some time and $ on shitty sticks by reading reviews and asking around, but finding your way through the gazillion options out there can be part of the fun

After reading through this a few times, I noticed something. I want to put this out there because I feel like it's become common place as of late. The expectation of getting bombed around here. That's some bullshit and not how it works at all. Generosity is boundless here, but really loses its luster when new folks come in and just expect it. This has been happening more and more frequently, with people then disappearing after they get some free stuff. Never to be seen again. Shady Shit for real.

Take in the good advice, smoke more, read, comment and be a part of the community; and *then* that kind of stuff happens. Just really grinds my gears when I see people expect something from others....here or anywhere.

That right there and the lack of interaction and appreciation is what really gets me.
