I should have asked yr people questions, instead of ordering thinking these were cigars were MADE NOT JUST SUPPOSEDLY MADE WITH DOMINICAN SEED TOBACCO, BUT MADE IN THE DOMINICAN.- also in your “search” box I wrote domininican cigars - I should of wrote MADE IN THE DOMINICAN, especially at the low price of these machine made samples. Also I see you use with other cigars, the word Cuban in reference to the seeds origin, which again can be very mis-leading. As a Canadian I bought cigars travelling to Cuba, over the last 40 yrs, until they became unaffordable due to the ridiculous high prices their gov’t wants tourists to pay - - buying knock offs on the street, you never know what you get. If I ever order cigars from you again, I will make sure to speak to someone first.

I really like to have a variety and this sampler does the trick. All of these cigars have a nice smooth flavor and are better than some high end cigars I have tried. Had some minor problems with draw on some but a good roll between the fingers usually loosened them up nicely. I will continue to buy this sampler for my everyday use.

Living in a cold climate and NOT smoking in the house leaves me about 8-9 months of cigar-enjoying time. That said, this is the best sampler because of the easy smoking cigars and the range os cigars you get, both in flavor and size. As the header says, I love this sampler!

I like the variety of the Gold Medal sampler and that is why I have purchased it over the years. Most years I would rate the quality as good (not fantastic but OK for the price). This year, many of the dark wrapper cigars were of poor quality with holes and cracks in the wrapper, many were so bad that I could not get them to light and if I did, I could not keep them going and pitched most. Very disappointing - I'm not sure what kind of a 'satisfaction guaranteed' statement I could find in your literature but I am not satisfied with the both of the larger dark wrapper cigar selections in the Gold Medal sampler (the small ones were OK). I do not have the box or I would provide their actual name.

Just received these today. Good variety and price for a novice looking for an every day stick. Lit up a Frisco while unpacking and loading into my humidor and it was excellent. Almost every Josefina was falling apart at the seams...wrapper and construction was poor. All others looked fairly well constructed but inconsistent. Not sure if these are hand made or simply hand rolled. Not close to Cuban quality as claimed in the description.

In one sense I appreciated the pre-holes smoking end of the cigar but this gave me the feel of the White Owl, HAVA-A-tAMPA, AND OTHER DRUG STORE PRE PACKAGED CIGARS. i CAN SEE THIS AS WONDERFUL FOR THE BEGINNER WHO DOES NOT ENJOY SNIPPING THE CIGAR. tHE WRAPPER FLANGE SOMETIMES TORE OFF MAKING THE RELEASE OF THE CIGAR FROM THE PACKAGE DIFFICULT. gOOD ASSORTMENT.

This was my first inexpensive sampler. I wasn't expecting the world, but if you have developed a taste for hand rolled cigars, you might be disappointed in the sheet type tobacco. I will not order this again, although some of these did however have good flavor.

i dont like roll sheet tobacco. if i had known most contain this non tobacco ingrediant, i would have skipped this one. also most are "cigarillos" very small! not worth the money. Thompson has other short filler Dominican cigars that are an excellent value. so skip this one!

I really like Thompson's samplers as a way to try a variety of cigars without buying a whole box. Then when I find a cigar that I particularly like I can add it to my private stock! This sampler has assorted sizes and wrappers and I really liked that. The surprise, though, were the Friscos. I don't generally like smaller smokes but somehow the combination of maduro wrapper, the fillers and the size all come together in a remarkable cigar. Would I recommend this to a friend? HELL YES!

These are well made good tasting smokes, especially for those of us who like a good smoke but can't afford the pricey sticks. I enjoyed every cigar in the box. The flavor was consistent, and the cigars gave a good long smoke without being too hard to draw. I definitely intend to seek out the varieties that were include in the sampler.

I have found that I enjoy the maduro wrapper most of all. But, the Thompson brand seem to have a problem with the wrappers. They seem to fall apart easily. And som e of them had a very hard draw. The flavor was good however. I'm going to be an occasional orderer. That seems to work better for me. [...]

The gold sampler was the best way to try several different cigars from thomson, and the price was the biggest attraction. These for the most were not for the looks but for personal enjoyment. for a quality smoke they were wonderful. They did not look like the big brand cigars but they did smoke like them.
