I did not come up with the idea for a Smoketoberfest Sampler, though it is the kind of eye-rolling pun that I usually revel in creating. 
But I did see right away why this particular mix of cigars was a great idea.
It's short, sweet, and to the point. You get five total cigars, from Gurkha, Alec Bradley and Gran Habano. They're all sure things from the best in the business, and if you haven't tried anything from these guys yet -- well, what are you waiting for anyway? Something like this Smoketoberfest Sampler?
I also like the idea because it's a nice day or weekend of cigars for many frequent smokers. Five for me in a day is a lot -- I very rarely get that kind of free time, thanks to the job, wife, and kids -- but it's definitely a day of overindulgence when it happens.
In other words, it's exactly what Oktoberfest is like for many casual beer drinkers who use the occasion as an excuse to go a little crazy. Some dress up in weird costumes -- not something I recommend -- and go on bar crawls. Others hang out in makeshift beer gardens and down some pitchers. Or you can be more refined and drink some quality bottles on the deck. Either way, it's a fun excuse for drinking more than usual.
Oktoberfest may be in the rear-view mirror, but ... you know that's a lot of marketing, right? It doesn't have to be October to enjoy an extended day of beer-drinking (any NFL Sunday does nicely). And any day can be a Smoketoberfest with these five cigars as the inspiration.
