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...

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.

Guess they decided against doing it this year?
Or I must have missed it. (yeah, I'm a glutton for punishment)

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

I just visited the JR located in Detroit and asked about the sampler this year...I was told that it will be a vendor event. The various vendor's will sale sampler bag filled with cigars, lighters, etc. I will check it out when and if it happens and post what I see.

One item worth $29.95 alone? Are they throwing in a gurkha at msrp? :r

just a trick bag, and it won't be a treat.

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.

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.

Sorry to disagree but Altadis owns JR's not General. :2

Anyone buy one? Curious on weight if it shipped yet.
Don't need anything but mystery items always get me.

Got plenty of GENUINE Toilet Paper now :noon
Those Jose Martis used to be good ten years ago. Really surprisingly good. ALL tobacco has changed
since then, who knows now.
I ordered both packages and this is what I got:
