Good Cheap Samplers?

hodirty · Mar 12, 2013

Im hunting high and low to try some new baccy for super cheap. Im on a fairly tight budget, but I would like to get some bulk or tin samples for as cheap as possible if any of you guys can help my hunt, I would greatly appreciate it. Im not too picky, Ill try anything once

The Hearth and Home sampler from pipesandcigars.com lets you get 6 different samples, 2 ounces each, of different Hearth and Home blends and I think it comes in right around the $30 area. Not a bad deal and it is all very high quality tobacco.

You can build your own sampler, too. That may be the best deal out there. Nobody is gonna do samplers of lower-end stuff.

Thanks All! Im checking out the H&H sampler now...

Jud's right. I've never heard of low-end samplers. What would be the point?
And I'm not sure what "tin samples" would be. No retailer is going to open a tin just to send you a pinch, and I've never seen teeny tiny sample tins (although they would be pretty fun).
I guess I'm wondering, how cheap is "cheap"? How cheap does it need to be? You can buy a tin of excellent tobacco online for $12 to $14 if you do some looking. That's pretty darn cheap.
But that's for the US... where do you live?

@bigvan,

And I'm not sure what "tin samples" would be. No retailer is going to open a tin just to send you a pinch, and I've never seen teeny tiny sample tins (although they would be pretty fun).

here is a tin sampler offered by P&C

The tin sampler is 6 full tins. That's a pretty good price - not quite as good as their bulk sampler, but still a good deal.

I think P&C does several tin samplers, but it is full tins. They're a better price than buying the tins on their own, but they aren't inexpensive.

Lots of times you can buy an ounce of individual blends for not too much. That can let you try stuff. I did that last year with a bunch of Altadis latakia blends.

That is a nice tin sampler, thanks for sharing.

smokingpipes.com has Mac Baren bulk tobacco for really cheap. While they're not samplers, you can get 8oz of 7 Seas any kind for $10.62 plus shipping. Here's the link:
MacBaren 7 Seas
Check that; price went up from yesterday - Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular and Gold are still $10.62 for 8oz, the others are a couple bucks more.
