William from Akron, Ohio reviewed the CIGAR SAMPLER WITH HUMIDOR AND GIFT BOX

I have been smoking cigars for about 30 years and consider my an Aficionado and VERY VERY cheap. So I think for the price they was better then expected. The humidor, well what can I say you get what you pay for. The humidor is good for the starter.

Gurkha Revenge is back baby, and it’s better than ever! With our Gurkha Revenge Sampler II, you'll get 15 of K. Hansotia’s super-premium small-batch cigars for an unbelievable low low price! 3 Gurkha Master Select Habano Toro, 3 Gurkha Master Select Connecticut Churchill, 3 Gurkha Regent Toro, 3 Gurkha Legend Warrior Legacy Maduro, and 3 Gurkha Black Dragon. If you were to buy these sensational smokes piecemeal, you’d be paying close to $168 but, through this exclusive Thompson offer, you'll save big. Limited quantities!

The world of cigars is meant to be explored. Every aficionado has his or her own favorite brand of smoke but that doesn't mean that it has to be the only cigar you enjoy. The love and appreciation that most cigar makers have for fine smokes means that there are hundreds of high quality cigars to choose from. In addition, since the quality of tobacco leaves can vary by year and region, even brands you have smoked in the past might pleasantly surprise you in 2012. You might also want to branch out and give flavored smokes a try. If you are used to smoking mild cigars, why not treat yourself to a highly-rated robust cigar?

With so many cigars just waiting to be tasted, it would be a big shame to not broaden your smoking horizons. One of the easiest ways to do this by joining a sampler of the month club. Sign up for the Thompson Cigars sampler of the month and you get 5, carefully chosen, high quality smokes each month. They come with information that gives details about each type of cigar to enhance your experience. It's almost like meeting with the experts from Thompson Cigars to discuss and smoke some hand-picked favorites.

Sign up for your personal monthly cigar tour and find all of your smoke-related needs at Thompson Cigars today.

Cigars come in a large variety of brands, flavors, and styles. It would great to try them all but with so many hundreds of types of cigars out there, and the fact that several are very rare, it's pretty much impossible to personally test and taste every cigar in the world. It would even be a serious challenge for the testers at Cigar Aficionado to sample every smoke on Earth. Nevertheless, at least there are enough smokes out there to keep you busy with trying out different brands for decades. One of the easiest ways of sampling a large variety of smokes is with cigar samplers.

Instead of buying a box of twenty cigars that hail from the same brand, purchase a sampler and you get 20 distinct cigars that are typically made by 20 different companies. Each one will be guaranteed to provide its own special smoking experience and remind you that living the good life is just as much about sampling its spices as it is about striving to consistently experience high quality products. You don't need to sacrifice any aspect of the good life when you buy and smoke cigar samplers either. Most cigar samplers include high quality smokes and when you buy samplers of 90 plus-rated cigars, you know that you are in for several fantastic experiences!

Cigar samplers are an easy way to expand your smoking experience. You get the chance to try a wider range of smokes than just going out and buying boxes of each brand. You could do that to and most aficionados would love to do just that but the majority don't because it would cost an absolute fortune. So, if you don't happen to hold the envious position of being a cigar tester or don't plan on opening your own smoke shop, samplers are the way to go.

When you buy samplers from Thompson Cigars, you can buy selections of high-rated smokes, different types of cigars made by the same company, or other selections. You can even sign up for a monthly cigar tour to receive five, excellent, hand-picked smokes to enjoy each and every month. However, if none of those samplers seem too appealing, you still have another excellent option for trying out and enjoying a wide range of cigars for a good price. At Thompson, Cigars, you can simply pick and choose among a variety of high quality smokes to make your own, custom sampler. It's simple to do and you get just the cigars you would like to try.

If you need to do any amount of traveling, cigars should be one of the main items on your checklist of things to pack. Don't expect to be able to find the cigars you like no matter where you are headed because they might not be available or smoke shops might be hard to find. If you do come across a good tobacco shop, it might also be a lot more expensive than the place where you usually buy your cigars. This will certainly be the case if you make all of your cigar-related purchases from a trusted online cigar store. It's much easier just to pack and bring all of the cigars you need for the trip.

It's easy to just recommend bringing your favorite brands of cigars when traveling but why not try something new for a change? Here are a couple of suggestions for cigars to bring with you when taking a trip:

• ACID Cigars: If you haven't tried one of these quality, flavored smokes, a trip to a new destination is one of the best excuses for seeing why so many aficionados love this brand.
• A cigar sampler: Buy an interesting sampler before the trip and try a different smoke each night of your travels.
• A five pack: Get a five pack of a brand you have yet to try and use your trip as en excuse for trying them.

Reverend Rock from La Junta, CO reviewed the FLOR DE FILIPINAS LONSDALE GRANDE JAVA LONS GRANDE

I picked up a Thompson's sampler a while back that included some of these Philippino smokes, and I was very impressed. When Thompson's ran another special on just the Filipinas, I jumped at the chance. They are a very smooth smoke with no bitter after-bite. Although I don't smoke cigars every day, I think these would be a good choice if you do. Please don't buy too many, or Thompson's will up the price.

We’re so used to puros manufactured in the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Nicaragua that it’s natural to look at a cigar manufactured in the Philippines with a little suspicion. But trust me friend, there are stranger places than the Philippines for a cigar factory (like New Jersey, for instance) and the production locale has nothing to do with the taste of your smoke! Flor de Filipinas is a premium, hand rolled, mild-medium bodied cigar made from the same top notch, imported Cuban-seed tobaccos that you love. Yes, Flor de Filipinas has an odd birthplace but at lower price per stick you can afford to be a little adventurous. You won’t be disappointed.

There are a number of benefits that come from buying cigar samplers. The assortment of different smokes, brands, and flavors lets you try several cigars that you probably wouldn't have bought otherwise. Cigars are an investment in terms of cost and your valuable smoke time. This makes many an aficionado especially wary of purchasing a box of unfamiliar cigars of the same brand because if you don't enjoy them then you are more or less stuck with that box of cigars until you can give them away to an aficionado who does happen to like them.

Better to buy a cigar sampler that includes several unfamiliar brands than separately purchasing boxes of each brand. Although you would be making large additions to your personal humidor (and that's always a good thing), you would probably also be spending large amounts of money on at least a few cigars that you don't really like. There's no good reason for doing that so get more out of your investment by purchasing cigar samplers of those unfamiliar brands. Samplers are also a fantastic way to try out some of the best cigars available without having to spend too much. The 90 Plus Rated Deluxe is one such sampler.

Save money and time by purchasing cigar samplers from your favorite online cigar store.

Whether you have been enjoying the good life with good smoke for decades or just a few years, you probably recall the first time you tried a cigar. That first smoke may have inspired you to become a cigar aficionado or it might have been the next few smokes that opened your taste buds and mind to the soul satisfying experience of fine tobacco. Whichever it was, you probably recall what it was like to be a new aficionado. So many cigars to try but where to even start? Was the cost of award winning smokes worth the experience? Which cigars were meant for celebrating the most important of events?

Each aficionado finds their own answers to these and other smoke-related questions in their own time but a cigar sampler certainly helps with the process. For this reason, a good selection of different brands and tastes in one package is the perfect way to welcome new aficionados into the cigar smoking world. Get a sampler for a new cigar smoker and they will certainly appreciate it. They might even show their appreciation by sharing one of those fine smokes with you.

Cigar samplers are a fantastic way to broaden your smoking horizons. Buy a few samplers and you get the chance to truly appreciate the wide range of tastes, flavors, and textures that cigars bring to the table. They also give you the chance to try several cigars that you probably wouldn't have experienced otherwise. Every cigar aficionado should get a sampler or two for these reasons but what type should you buy? Do you go with the samplers that feature cigars from 20 different brands or try a sampler of smokes produced by the same company?

While a fair number of novice aficionados might insist on multi-brand samplers, cigar smoking veterans know that multi-brand or not, each type of sampler is going to provide a diverse array of smokes. The reason for this is because even if the sampler offers cigars from just one company, that company probably produces a large variety of smokes. They don't just offer one type of cigar and they want to demonstrate this with their samplers. Cigars with different wrappers, different filler tobacco, different infusions, and different sizes will probably come in the package and even though each one will come with the same trademark, each one will also provide a unique smoking experience.

Cigar samplers are an excellent idea. They let you try one new cigar after another without having to buy a box for each brand. Although there are a wide variety of samplers to choose from, you can also build your own. Some of the benefits associated with a build your own cigar sampler include:

• You choose exactly what you want: Although there's a good chance that you will enjoy most samplers on the market, there's also a fair chance that some include cigars you would rather not smoke. Sure, you wouldn't mind taking a draw from most cigars in those samplers but you just prefer some smokes over others. With a build your own sampler, you pick those preferred smokes.
• Over 70 cigars to choose from: This is the type of selection needed for building a quality, personalized sampler. These cigars aren't just any old smoke either but include highly-rated, quality smokes.

Like fine wines, scotch, and many of the good things in life, there are ratings for cigars. These attempts at gauging the quality of the cigar smoking experience provide aficionados with valuable information when picking out cigars. Naturally, many of the highest-rated cigars cost the most because the rating increases their value. The ways that cigars are rated by Cigar Aficionado includes:

• Appearance and construction: This is worth 15 points and is determined by how smooth the cigar feels when rolled between the fingers among other features. 
• Flavor: Worth 25 points, this is a reflection of the quality of the tobacco as well as how they were aged and stored.
• Smoking characteristics: Worth another 25 points, this includes such characteristics as the ease of the draw and how firm and even the ash is.
• Overall experience: At 35 points, this is worth the most and reflects the importance of enjoying the overall experience of smoking a cigar.
