CigarsInternational is well known for this. There was a time they had the GrayCliff 1666 and Padilla Obsidian in almost every sampler deal. Two reasons. One they had a high MSRP to jack up the value on the sampler. And two, the cigars weren't as good as they were "suppose" to be and they were found with a large overstock.
I completely agree. Many samplers have higher end cigars or high MSRP cigars paired with some less than or even completely unknowns. The better samplers to me are the samplers that are like "best of pepin". That way you at least know you're getting all DPG cigars. Single Brand cigar samplers are a better way to go.

I actually do enjoy the Graycliff 1666's though. Of course that's under the assumption you're paying $3-$4 a stick not the ridiculous MSRP.

When I look at a sampler, I decide what I'd pay for the ones I really want. If the price is still OK, the filler sticks are free. Well, sorta!

What I found is....it's not the price that's the problem....HUMI SPACE! My humidor has a good 20-30 cigars that need to go away. Just stuff I didn't like or didn't want in the quantity I bought it in.

You can never have too many cigars, they are like an investment in good times.
