Well I purchased the "Big Bombshell Sampler".
It came to £100 - ish; but for 50 sticks that's not bad.
Delivery was only 16 days. Yes! Even with the postal strikes.
If that's too many for you the n the "Atomic Sampler #2" is pretty much the same but with fewer.
it was a great way to fill my humi and explore the blends, vitolas, and brands. sadly all NCs though no CCs.

I've had the Brazilian Label blend and I remember it to be pretty good. Not knock your socks off good, but good. I think it got the "pretty" since it was a house blend and I wasn't expecting much going into it so that was a surprise. IIRC it wasn't too complex but pleasant enough to put on a dog walking/leaf raking/snow shoveling rotation.
Big-Bear has the idea with the samplers if you are just getting into NC's. The Atomic #2 looks good and ranges from mild to medium-full if you are looking for that wide of a selection. They also offer Mild, Medium & Full selections if you don't smoke the full range. This way you only get a few of each stick so if one is a dog-rocket you aren't stuck with a box.
If you have questions about specific blends feel free to PM me as I've smoked many of them.

I have tried each of the cigar.com blends - i would say its worth getting a sampler pack and judging for yourself!

Interesting thread, I have always wondered if anyone had tried any of the house blend cigars that are available. Might try a sampler myself to check them out.

Thanx for your feedback guys. I think I'll go for the big bomshell sampler as my humidor is nearly empty. This forum is wonderful and has been a great source of valuble information.
