shadowACE Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 A question to Pres and the FOH team... COTM clubs are gaining considerable popularity. Have you ever given any thought to a subscription service such as this? A 3-5 stick sampler for X amount of dollars sent out every month? Cheers! Sent from my SM-N960W using Tapatalk 1
SansSin Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 i would join it, already a memeber of privada and rare cigar of the month club which kinda sucks so far. would love to switch out the rare COTM with an FOH COTM
bbguardsp Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 I manage a B&M so I'm a little biased against them lol. I can go on the FoH online store and select singles I want on a monthly basis rather than hoping a random selection will come through. Other than that you must remember Rob sources from PCC whereas here in the states the monthly services can source from 100s of brands to provide variety and (MOST importantly) achieve multiple routes to negotiate pricing and make a profit.

From members perspective, how many cigars would be optimum? Woah! It's like I'm in your head. It's scary in there...I'll see myself out.Kidding aside, I personally wouldn't care so much about the quantity...it could vary month to month. Pick a price point and work the selection around it. Maybe one month has 6 regular production sticks and the next has 3...some with age, LE, rare ect. I think 5-6 may be the sweet spot.Sent from my SM-N960W using Tapatalk 12

srbbones Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 I'm wondering if it might need to be 8-10 cigars per shipment so that the international shipping cost is not so high as to be a significant proportion of the total cost. 1
Dijit Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 I think the set price is the better way to go. As for count let it fluctuate so that different level sticks can be sent. I mean while we as consumers always want the best deal we can get, the company cant go broke to keep us happy.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk 1
Head83 Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Im really interested in this idea as well but feel there should be different plans. I thin 5 per shipment is fair due to shipping but perhaps have plans where you can either get monthly, every other month, and then quarterly. While I enjoy smoking, in a good month, I dont think I am able to break free to smoke 5 sticks so getting that many each month would begin piling up in my already packed winedor!!
Lomey Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 I think a set price would be ideal. Some months possibly 3 or so higher priced cigars some months 6 or so less expensive cigars. Shipping international price wise would be the issue I would think.
Viva Vegas Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 I smoke about one stick a week,so 3 to 5 would be perfect for me.
KavalanWhisky Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Definitely keen on this, would love to try new sticks and this is a great way to get the exposure. 2

PrairieSmoke Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 The best cigar of the month clubs create perceived value at set price points. I'm not sure how low you can go with international shipping costs and still deliver value, but $25/month $50/month would be good brackets. I know many of us spend more than that per month on cigars, but I'm not sure i'd want to spend more per month on an unknown. 1
Oscar300 Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 I would like it, set fee, what comes and how many can change when it likes. Keeps it interesting. 1

Perhaps members would have to "opt-in" every month to get their shipment? That way each person can control how much they get and can handle.
Colt45 Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Perhaps an easy way for all involved would simply be to offer a cigar of the month sampler via the cart, and announce when it is available each month. Members order via the cart, or can skip it. Easy for us, easy for the Czar Crew. Just a thought. 3
