The SNS cigars are exclusive cigars to the club - they aren't cigars like TAA, etc. There is an annual "kit" that has 15 cigars in it - 3 5-packs along with some swag like a t-shirt and other assorted items. You are not told what each of the cigars are - they are just numbered #1-5. Sometimes they are test blends, sometimes they are older cigars redone, sometimes they are cigars with a twist (Little Boris with a different wrapper sort of thing). Last year and this year I believe, you also get 2 exclusive cigars related to Cigar Rights of America in a small coffin.
There are other random times where exclusive cigars are sold to the group - one summer there were Summer Packs and sometimes at Christmas time the Petemas cigars are released. Same deal, you aren't told what they are. There is also a chance at the end of the year to purchase any of the cigars left over - kits, Petemas, etc. So the opportunity to stock up is there (like Tony does with TAA), but you're stocking up on mystery cigars essentially.
There are other items exclusive to the club such as wine or bourbon that Pete has had his hand in. I've never gone for those myself.
This is a club that I've been in for 4 years now and each year I keep thinking, should I reup. So far, the answer has been yes, but I will say I really do it out of support for Pete than I do the "oh my God I have to be a part of this" mindset.

Excellent description big guy. I knew it was along those lines that none were regular cigars. Didn't know there were other purchase options so that's cool, but still not what I'm looking to spend my semi-hard earned taxpayer dollars on. I'll take a box of TAA or something like K222 instead.
So you getting TJ in or what ?
No cigar until you get a par - birdie if it's a scramble !

The window to renew opened in early May I think. Members get one referral at the time they renew. Now or never sort of thing. I had a bourbon buddy who asked me back then, so I referred him this year. Unfortunately I'm thinking most people who were going to renew have already renewed, so TJ is probably out of luck for this year, but I told him he can have my referral next year. I know Kyle has already renewed for this year as well.

Ahh well, maybe next year. I'll just have to see about helping him with some TAA sticks then

I asked him - it was gone in seconds. Probably got tired of being asked and finally edited the post.
I thought I had a hook up here and still might if we can get a response from Kyle.

Word up.....
Like my father before me, I will work the land,
And like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand.
