The Rare Cigar Club
Rare, Hand-rolled, Small Batch Cigars
$49.95 /mo.
plus $5.00 S&H
For the most discerning cigar lovers, we offer The Rare Cigar Club. Each shipment features four different and extremely limited-production hand-rolled cigars. Made with the highest quality aged tobaccos and typically boasting retail values between $12-$25 per cigar, The Rare Cigar Club is the ultimate cigar experience for when only the best will do!
These small-batch cigars are selected from boutique manufacturers like Alec Bradley and Carlos Toraño, as well as highly-rated super-premium brands like Graycliff, Macanudo and Cohiba. Members always get a variety of lengths, gauges, wrapper types, and tobacco blends.
Every shipment includes our monthly newsletter with tasting notes, cigar maker profiles, tobacco blend specifications, drink pairing recommendations, and more.
Plus, each shipment is carefully packed with a reusable humidification device to ensure optimal humidity while your cigars are in transit and after they reach you.
Each year, our 9-member panel of tobacconists collectively spends nearly half a year in man hours in Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic working with manufacturers to refine new blends. They sample over 12,000 cigars per year and review each for appearance, aroma & flavor, draw and construction – ensuring only well-made, superior cigars are selected for the club.
Found some cigars you just have to have more of? No problem! Members enjoy discounted pricing on 5-packs and full boxes of their favorite featured cigars.
Our Cigar Selection Process is the key to consistently identifying high quality, flavorful and well-made cigars. Here’s how we do it:
Each of our nine cigar panel members offers unique experience in the tobacco industry, from growing, processing and aging tobacco to working directly with manufacturers to create exclusive blends. Rest assured, we’re knowledgeable and passionate about cigars and we’ve got your back.
Our panel fires up over 200 cigars a week rating each for proper construction, appearance, aroma, smoke volume and overall impression and flavor profile. We make sure each consistently burns right and has a proper draw. We smoke a lot of bitter, harsh, improperly aged and poorly constructed cigars (not to the nub mind you) so you don’t have to! Less than 5% of those considered ever make it to you.
Our guys spend nearly 6 months in man hours every year visiting top cigar producers in Nicaragua, Honduras and Dominican Republic. They’re touring production facilities, working with producers to test and refine blends, inspecting final products, and most importantly in Central and South America, building relationships.
Over the years, our panel members have collectively visited every cigar manufacturer in Central and South America as well as the Caribbean and have built strong, long-lasting relationships. That presents unique opportunities to be a part of creating and fine-tuning blends as well as the ability to offer our members exclusive selections such as the Diesel Grind Perfecto, a 6x60 beautifully crafted cigar available only to club members.
My son got me a gift membership to your cigar club for Father's Day this year… Everything received has come in great shape. I really like the variety and trying new things!
