Cigar Discount

What is a cigar discount?
It is either a cigar sold for less than the cost of a premium cigar, or it is a way of promoting a new cigar that has recently been rated highly.

Why would I want a cigar discount?
Do you want to save money? Just because you buy an inexpensive cigar doesn’t mean you can’t buy premium cigars when you can afford to indulge yourself. You might want to consider this path when buying cigars as gifts for people who normally smoke cigarettes. Cigarette smokers who are new to the cigar world are going to find an intriguing and new experience regardless of whether or not it is labeled premium or not.

This is why Serious Cigars offers so many sampler packs for the aficionado to buy for family and friends new to the world of cigar smoking.

Where would I find information in regard to cigar discounts?
The most convenient source of information is on the Internet. Our website has all sorts of specials running that you can browse through at your convenience. Another place to obtain information, if you are out and about, is from your local cigar shop or cigar lounge.

If you are embarrassed about asking staff about discounts because you are afraid of looking cheap, simply say you are considering gift options for new smokers and would like to know about cigar discounts you can either purchase for them or pass along the grapevine in the form of a recommendation.

This way the rich men in the corner who make the world turn will not think you down and out, and you will save both your money and your dignity.

Magazines are a third source of information on cigar discounts. Many magazines here in Houston are free publications that are financed exclusively by advertising dollars. You can pick them up all over the city at little news racks. These are very nice magazines and are full of ads that can give you all kinds of information on cigars and many other topics.

How long do cigar discounts normally last?
That depends on the retailer. Some lower prices on a particular brand for an extended period of time in order to increase the sales volume of that particular brand. Others may run a promotion on a new brand for a new day in order to encourage an impulse purchase and get a new product on the market quickly. Still others offer cigar discounts on brands that are good, but not rated as being particularly superb. There is an old adage that you get what you pay for, and some cigars are decent but simply not worth a lot of money.

Are all machine rolled cigars discounted because of this?
Not necessarily. In our opinion, truly premium cigars are always hand-rolled with whole leaf filler and wrapper. However, just because a cigar is machine rolled does not mean it will be the cheapest cigar in the inventory, and there is nothing written in stone that says that you can never buy a fine cigar at a special low price, either.
