Seriously, the Newb Sampler Thread is for anyone 'newer' to the community. We banter around about new cigars, vitolas, split boxes, etc. enough to know what we like for an affordable price. They don't necessarily have to be newbie smokes, just maybe smokes that you wouldn't necessarily see get hocked at one of the major retailers.

Personally, I never think those samplers are a good deal. They might have 2 or 3 great sticks I'm interested in, then the rest is crap, just to round out the deal and sell it. The only ones I ever thought weren't horrible were from JR. Then again, I'm a snob.
