Top 5 Benefits of Buying Cigar Samplers
Let's explore the top benefits of purchasing cigar samplers in more detail.
1. Introduce Yourself to New Brands
Finding new brands is always exciting, and one of the best ways to explore this is with cigar samplers.
If you're a beginner, it helps you discover your preferences in cigars. For veterans, it allows you to diversify your collection.
At Atlantic Cigar Co, one of our most popular samplers is the Grab Bag Sampler Platinum - 10 Pack.
Here's a review from one of our customers after purchasing the Grab Bag:
" I am on my 3rd bag and each one has been wonderful. Has turned me on to many cigars that I thought I wouldn't like. AMAZING bang for the buck. Keep it up guys."
Each pack includes cigars typically priced between $8 and $16. The Grab Bag currently sells for $39.95. Talk about value!
Inside the pack you'll find a curated selection of cigars from partially used boxes, which were left over after making 5-packs or selling individual sticks. The samplers offer an excellent mix of premium cigars to give you a diverse tasting experience.
To maintain freshness, every 10-pack is accompanied by a Humi-Pak humidification pack.
The selection varies regularly based on current stock and offers a unique assortment each time. Be sure to check out the product reviews on the page to hear about experiences from other customers.
