Seems like a good deal.

JerseyDevil65 · 10-17-2004, 11:41 AM

They keep saying the word "free" until you get to the bottom, $15 fee? Not so free anymore.

This is this yrs club deal, been available since spring. I would pounce on it if it is still available, good tshirts and gars.

xrundog · 10-17-2004, 01:08 PM

It's a good deal if you like Cuesta Reys.

cigarsarge · 10-17-2004, 02:38 PM

The first year they offered it was totally free. All years there after have been $15.

Caddye · 10-17-2004, 03:52 PM

Yeah. but 10 or 12 of it goes to CFCF for its project in the DR, the school/community center, etc. The Wrapper comes out 4 times a year and is worth getting too.

Seems like I was the only one, but I was given the run-around by these guys. I paid for my membership through a vendor, and didn't receive anything for a few months. I asked the vendor about it, and they inquired a few times with JC newman. They did not respond to them. Finally I tried myself, and they basically said we don't have you on the list and you're shit out of luck. After having to jump through hoops, and getting the vendor involved again, they finally admitted that they fucked up and would put me on the list again for the subscription. I think the total was about 7 different requests, and 5 months, from me and the vendor to finally find out that they made a mistake. I understand people make mistakes, but they had horrible customer service.

The prceeds go to a good cause. I have been a member for 2 years and haven't been dissapointed. For the amount of cigars you get and the shirt its well worht it. You will also get a quarterly newsletter as well as coupons for free merchandise including cigars. Just join through their website you won't have any problems.
