JR Trick or Treat?

Did anyone buy either one of the samplers this year? If so, what was in it?

Last year's sampler SUCKED!

Hoping this year was better. I did not participate.

Me neither - I'm not a grabbag kind of guy. Cigars can be enough of a crap-shoot as it is.

I heard the JR trick or treat last year was a bust for most people.

Yeah, General Cigar owns JR, so if you like stuff put out by General then you might enjoy the Trick or Treat, otherwise I would stay away...

Re: JR Trick or Treat?

As I remember, some were very happy with the scwag they got last year. Not the greatest assortment of cigars but ashtrays, shirts and lighters.

some good deals to be found here but I wouldn't trust them to pick out my cigars for me. They're likely to give you the stuff they can't sell.

If they are doing it, it hasn't happened yet. I'm thinking that it will happen next week.

What I can tell you is that there's at least one item in there that's worth more than $29.95 all by itself ... the rest? Well, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

That says it all right there for me. They give you 1 stick at MSRP of $29.95 (their price probably half that and the rest are dog rockets. I'm willing to bet it's a gurkha too.

Re: JR Trick or Treat?

If I hadn't spent over budget already, I'd be tempted to try the #2 sampler. This line makes me curious: Your $49.95 wouldn't buy one of the items at our normal J·R discount price, much less buy all the goodies in it.
