Cigar of the Month - Trust your Tobacconist

Trust Your Tobacconist! At BnB we strive to provide consistent value for your hard-earned money. Every month’s shipment features a different, curated five pack of premium cigars select by our "locally famous" Certified Retail Tobacconist Brett J, owner of Tobaccology with a value that exceeds the cost of the sampler. With a range of cigars from companies you recognize that are pillars in the industry to boutique manufacturers you may not have heard of just yet, our selection is curated and affordable!

We aim to exceed your expectations of what a Cigar of the Month Club is by introducing you to brands and vitolas you may not be smoking currently. We will also be including special sections denoted by asterisk; Yellow Cello*, That Guy Filler** and Unbanded/Blind*** throughout the year as each of these is useful for most smokers and a fun way to participate in our Community on top of the great value of cigars! Having trouble shopping for someone you know...well we have the perfect gift for that premium cigar smoker in your life! Reviews and Pairing information will be provided for four of the cigars, the fifth being an unbanded/smoke-blind cigar.

Trust Your Tobacconist Club Specifics:

Trust Your Tobacconist Q&A:

Why is one of the cigars Unbanded/Blind? The fifth cigar in each subscription sampler comes unbanded and is to be smoked without knowing what it is or where it comes from. As tobacconists we enjoy helping folks discover their palate’s ability and encouraging a sense of community around what we do. Therefore this cigar is meant to be smoked whilst listening or watching our monthly podcast: Tall Tales of Tobaccology (airing monthly, found on Podbean in the Hustler Universe Family of Podcasts). Brett J will be smoking the unbanded cigar with the guest, experiencing it with you as you partake in the show with us!

What is the Yellow Cello cigar? This section of our club will not appear every month but when it comes around we will make sure that they are aged and the cellophane has begun to yellow with oils from the wrapper leaf. A premium cigar that is kept in proper humidity and temperature will age over time. Sometimes the blends improve and the converse can happen, but we will let you decide how these cigars have done and always provide aged cigars kept in proper humidity and temperature as they do!

What is the That Guy Filler cigar? Every smoker has the need for some “filler” smokes for their humidor. All too often we see this Cigar of the Month club with the description of  “no filler” and it makes us chuckle. Every humidor has some filler in it and by that we mean cigars to be smoked when you may not be able to finish them, or may put down cause you have a fish on the line, or may need to smoke whilst riding the mower sweating to death in the sun, or to give to your Uncle when he visits and says he wants to smoke a cigar but will leave it in the ashtray unsmoked, etc… We all need those cigars and we do not want to pay premium prices for them. This section of our COTM club will include a cigar that can be purchased in a bundle or pack for cheap! Usually $2-5 dollars a piece and bat well out of their price range in our opinion!

 Are all the cigars sent available for purchase if it was enjoyed? We make money by being able to sell cigars above and beyond this Cigar of the Month Sampler. We will strive to have, the majority of cigars included in each sampler, for sale in five packs and/or boxes! Of course, when we do things like yellow cello and aged cigars included, we may not always have a ton to be sold afterwards. Just know it is our goal to provide the cigars included for sale afterwards once they are smoked!

Will there be multiple tiers to the subscription or just one? We are going to crawl and walk before we run. For now there will just be one subscription and not tiers but the sky is the limit and we love doing this so who knows?!

Will samplers include different strength cigars? Yes they will but are not limited to mixed strengths. As tobacconists we will strive to do our best putting these together and pushing great tastes and profiles your way. This may sometimes include several months where the theme may be based on profile strength, therefore ending up with similar strength cigars. We look forward to having fun and doing what we do!

Are all subscribers getting the same cigars? Yes. In the beginning we will aim to have just one tier where all the smokes are similar. There could be an instance where due to supply some vitolas are tweaked but the blends will be the same. Will there be featured cigar accessories at times? It is hard to offer accessories in such a manner as the Cigar of the Month club as the cost is usually prohibitive to including accessories. This may be a function we add as a future tier level is added.

When do samplers arrive? We will be charging subscriptions the first week of every month and shipping at the end of that first week. Any delays seen will be addressed and corrected if needed but most should arrive the second week of every month.

Will there be a discount associated with an annual subscription paid up front? Yes we will offer a small discount for a 3 or 6 month packages paid in full. To keep costs low, this cannot be substantial, but there will always be something for those that put their trust in us from the beginning!

Is this established cigars or are there plans to showcase new products in the samplers? New product acquisition is always a factor. We do plan to put newer products in the samplers if we are able to get enough to fill the numbers of the Club. In the beginning we can see this not being an issue but growth could prevent us from showcasing too many new products but have no fear we shall do our best to keep you in the loop with what is new and exciting!

***This section of our Monthly Club will be reserved for an un-banded cigar. There is nothing like trying a cigar with no preconceived notions. It forces you to dive into the senses we use to taste or smell a cigar with! In the near future, we will have a podcast that is associated with this sampler where Brett J (Owner of Tobaccology) will be smoking this un-banded cigar with the guest and giving our thoughts on it as we smoke. Everyone who purchases these Monthly Club cigars will be able to send in their thoughts on what the cigar is and we will choose from those who guess correctly to receive some logoed SWAG with their following month’s kit! Stay tuned as more details will come about on this process as we try to provide some cool experiences associated with this Monthly Club!
