The Best Cigar of the Month Club Around
This week we thought we’d do something a little different and tell you about one of the better perks of being a member of the Smoke Inn tribe. That’s the famous Smoke Inn COTM. Many of you will be familiar with the Smoke Inn Cigar of the Month Club, but we know there’s still lots of new customers and even long time Smoke Inn friends who may not have gotten around to checking it out. You all know how seriously we take cigar culture and the integrity of our brand. Well, that commitment shows in our Cigar of the Month Club selections. One of the things that sets our club apart is we put great care and attention into what ships to our loyal Smoke Inn fans every month.
Honest Abe Dababneh handpicks every month’s selection with purpose. No fluff. No filler. All killer. You will find all solid brands and quality through and through. For us, the Cigar of the Month Club is a way to encourage exploration and to show you all some love by introducing you to many of the cigars we enjoy most. It’s that simple. We aren’t that run of the mill COTM that’s an afterthought or trying to clear out old inventory or off-brands. Ask anyone. We do this for the love of the cigar life and our desire to share that with everyone in the best ways we can think of. And that’s why we think we’ve arguably got the best cigar of the month club around.
Why Join Our Cigar of the Month Club?
Whether you’re relatively new to the cigar life or your old hat, if you’ve never belonged to a Cigar of the Month Club, you might be wondering what the upsides are. We’ll be happy to break it down for you.
Joining the Club If You’re Newer to Cigars
For new smokers, it is a great way to get the lay of the land and discover what brands, types and styles you love. In fact, there’s no better way to educate yourself and become a true aficionado than to try a variety of cigars. Smoke Inn’s COTM club takes the guesswork out of that exploration for you. You benefit from decades of cigar wisdom when Honest Abe Dababneh himself stocks your humidor each month. Before you know it, you’ll be impressing the hell out your contemporaries with your knowledge of cigar culture and the maturity of your palette. Without a Cigar of the Month membership, it would likely take you years to experience what we can show you month after month. There’s no better way to fast track yourself to aficionado status than letting Honest Abe be your guide every month.
Membership Has Its Privileges for Seasoned Smokers
If you’re a seasoned cigar smoker, then chances are you already understand the value proposition here, but there’s some things you may not have considered. Even people who’ve been smoking for years often find themselves in a comfortable niche. They choose a brand or two and settle in and smoke the same thing week after week, month after month. Maybe they throw in a random here and there when someone offers a cigar at a party or they get a wild hair. But for the most part, a lot of us old heads can get set in our ways sometimes.
The Smoke Inn Cigar of the Month club is the easiest way to bust out of that rut and liven up your cigar life again. Maybe you’re thinking “but I like my Montecristos.” Relax! We’re not tell you to upend your humidor. Your old standbys will always be there. But the chances are excellent that there are dozens of amazing cigars out there that you would love but you’ve just never crossed paths with them. Joining the COTM is a way to spice up your cigar experience without racking your brain and scanning reviews to try and decide what you buy. You get to raise your cigar game every month on autopilot. For less than $30 a month, you’re going to become an even more worldly smoker with ever more refined tastes.
Smoke Inn’s Cigar of the Month Club in a Nutshell
Value
The Smoke Inn COTM is only $29.95 a month for a 5-pack of a variety of quality smokes. Anyone who already belongs to the club will attest you get far more than your money’s worth in product. If you smoke at least 5 cigars a month and you’re not a person who is locked into smoking a single brand and type, then joining is a no brainer. It will expose you to new cigars you may not have had the chance to try otherwise. You also get a special gift on your joining anniversary every month as well as access to Smoke Inn exclusives. On top of all that, it saves you money on your cigar budget without sacrificing quality.
Quality
There’s no guesswork here. Honest Abe handpicks each month’s selections for you, so you know you’re getting quality and serious value for money. We don’t play around. You will get curated selections from brands like Padron, Davidoff, Drew Estate, Tatuje, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust, Aganorsa, Ferio Tego and Illusione just to name a few. There’s no fluff and no filler here. If you’re new to cigars, you’ll experience some of the best smokes out there. If you’re an old hand, you get outstanding value and quality delivered to your door every month.
Variety
We’ve got a very big humidor and broad connections in the cigar industry. You benefit from Abe Dababneh’s lifetime of cigar wisdom every month in 5 different and unique ways. A lot of members say one of the best parts of a COTM membership is the surprise when you open that box each month. Exploring new smokes is one of the great joys of the cigar life—it’s even cooler when you have an experienced hand restocking your humidor each month and it’s surprise every time.

An Amazing Gift
If you have an important cigar smoker in your life, you can gift them with a 3, 6 or 12 month subscription. It’s literally a gift that keeps on giving. Every month that person will be reminded of just what you think of them. Just putting that out there. Birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, outstanding employees, lifelong friends. We’re betting you know someone who deserves a Smoke Inn COTM subscription.
Don’t Just Take Our Word for It
We’ve given you our take on our club, but the truth is our loyal Smoke Inn family does a far better job of extolling the virtues of the mighty Smoke Inn COTM than we could ever hope to. We honestly had a hard time narrowing down your testimonials to print here because there are so many amazing ones. Thanks again to you all who shared these on Smoke Inn Social! Here are just a few of the prime quotes from Smoke Inn Cigar of the Month Club members.
Smoke Inn Cigar of the Month Club Members Speak:
“I tried the “other” COTM subscriptions out there, but they were plain janes…then I found the Smoke Inn one and well it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. Each month has awesome selections and it has led me onto brands I’d have never found if it weren’t for Smoke Inn and their best damn COTM ever!” – Ed Fournier
“What I tell people who are thinking about joining Smoke Inn COTM…Don’t think about it just sign up dammit. You won’t regret it.” – Drew Estate’s DJ Eli Legarreta
“Experiencing different cigars that I might not otherwise have had the opportunity to try has been something I look forward each month. The selection each month are premium cigars.” – John Gemmellaro
“Abe treats COTM members like family and provides them an incredible selection of cigars each month. He also recognizes members on their annual anniversary with a special gift.” – Dan Labow
“Smoke Inn COTM is legendary. I have been a member for 3 years and honestly, I still get excited waiting to see the “your order has shipped” email come through. An email! It signals to me that some amazing cigars are on their way. After 36 months and 180+ cigars, the club is life. The bang for the buck can’t be beat when it comes to COTM clubs. There are tons of them out there (and even more that have failed), but Smoke Inn is truly the king of the hill. I would have no hesitations recommending SI COTM to anyone.” – Robb Christensen
“This is a phenomenal COTM Club that provides a valuable commodity for all cigar lovers. Honest Abe Dababneh and the Smoke Inn Staff are the lifeblood & bedrock of the cigar of the month clubs. They bring a personal magnetism, a genuine love for people, and they offer an abundant joy to their customers. Service is sacred and their customers feel the source of joy through Abe’s personal and often intimate messages. They live modestly and work extremely hard to offer the very best cigars each month, and they avoid excuses and grievances by instead offering support and resolve in every purchase because they place such great value in the customer! Give it try…you will keep it lit here!” – Bart Ankney
“The Smoke Inn COTM is Christmas that comes every month. I belonged to several different COTM’s over the years, but they all had one thing in common. After about 6 months you would keep getting the same cigars over and over and over, and they were never good cigars, they were budget or house brands. That has never been a problem or an issue. I have belonged to the Smoke Inn COTM since April of 2020 and I can’t recall getting the same cigar more than once. BUT what I can recall is getting some great choices, by Honest Abe Dababne,h all for one low price SHIPPED!!!! 45 or 50 dollars or more worth of cigars, all for 29.95???It is a no brainer.” – Coy Applegate
“I’ve been a member of darn near every COTM out there. Almost everyone has been a disappointment. Old, dried-up cigars, sticks that won’t move, or others that are just on repeat. You’ll never be sorry with Smoke Inn. Honest Abe Dababneh and his band of misfits are the best in the business. Selection is always top notch, and if you ever have a problem, or even a question, the customer service is the earmark for the industry.” – Chris Dannels
