TC order surprise

[theHammer56]

ANYONE UP FOR A CONTRARIAN OPINION? I order from TC quite a bit and yes, I am getting a monthly shipment via their "Cigar Tour" - Five 90-or-better rated cigars with a newsletter for $29 including shipping. Now, yes - they do seem to be relentless on their 'upsale' tactics - but I definitely knew I was joining when I joined, and quite frankly feel the Cigar Tour is worth every penny as a monthly sampling of top-rated cigars (all of which have been worth from $6 to $14 if I were to buy single sticks). To get the Cigar Tour offer, you DO have to be a part of their automatic shipment in their 250 Club. (What?) Like I said, they persevere relentlessly with yet another upsale, but you can call them (I put it on my calendar) and postpone your next auto-ship for 3 months out (which I've been doing over and over again for about 2 years now). They are fully aware of what I'm doing; I told them right up front what I was going to do, and they said 'fine'. I haven't purchased anything I didn't know was coming.

Too many hoops to deal with? Probably for most people. BUT I LOVE THE CIGAR TOUR. So - for me - it's worth what others would consider way to much hassle.
