By M. A. Fulmar

Length of Club Memberships

The length of the club membership varies between companies; most offer a month to month membership, while other only offer yearly memberships. Many of the companies that offer monthly cigar club memberships offer extra benefits to customers that participate more than one month; such as free shipping or additional discounts. Many companies offer a variety of lengths of plans, to provide customized service to every customer; month by month, every other month, once a season, and even more options are available. The types of cigars offered by cigar clubs are often rare or vintage cigars, of which a selection of cigars is sent every month, and additional cigars are offered at a discounted price if a customer wanted to purchase more. Most cigar clubs only offer hand rolled cigars that have been selected by experts of cigars. Also most cigar clubs offer selections from around the world; providing a selection that many people couldn't obtain on their own.

Pricing

While the pricing does vary from company to company there are general guidelines; most companies charge a flat rate around 20-30 dollars per shipment with shipping and handling extra. Some companies do offer such amenities as free shipping or discounts off additional purchases to offset shipping costs. The average price for many of these cigars at discount retail stores is around seven dollars each, even the higher end price for these clubs are a bargain.

Giving the Gift of Luxury

For the discerning smoker, cigars are the lap of luxury; many people enjoy fine cigars in moderation just as one might enjoy fine wine or indulge in decedent chocolates. Many of these cigar clubs offer gift memberships, a membership can be purchased by one person and mailed directly to another for whatever duration desired. When a gift membership is purchased a shipment isn't always available to be shipped out as most companies ship around the same day of each month; in these circumstances a personalized letter is sent to the recipient of the gift with a date of the first shipment enclosed.

Shipping

Shipping cigars can be a tricky business as they may react to temperature, humidity, and altitude; as such many companies offer special shipping options. Some only ship in humidors, which are special boxes to protect and store the cigars. Other cigar clubs only ship in climate controlled packaging; both of these methods often come with a freshness guarantee. Most companies will only ship to physical addresses, no post office boxes; however they will deliver to most countries around the world. Shipping fees vary; however, it can be around five dollars per shipment; though some companies offer free shipping as a benefit of being a cigar club member for a certain period of time, such as 2 months.

Why Choose a Cigar Club?

There are many reasons a person may choose to join a cigar club; the variety of cigars, the convenience of having cigars shipped directly to them, or simply because they love cigars. There are so many choices of clubs available, picking can be difficult; key factors to help you to decide include: customer reviews, satisfaction guarantees, and term of membership requirements.
