I will disagree. I am a member of the COTMC at Empire Cigars in Raleigh. There has only been one month when I felt like I didn't get a good value. Some of the COTMC selections can be seen in the following links. I have tried a lot of new sticks that I would not have tried otherwise. They never put any "junk" in the lineup. The price is $29.95 per month. I think they charge $5 shipping, but I just pick mine up.
