Why This Cigar Company Charges You $0 Today And Packs 6 Free Cigars In Your First Package
Six hand-rolled Estelí cigars, $60 to $90 at retail, on top of your first monthly blend. Nothing charged today. And 4 other reasons cigar men are quietly switching.
That one quiet hour on the back porch. The cigar in your hand should be worth it.
There's a small cigar operation in Estelí, Nicaragua, the cigar capital of the world, doing something that makes the big houses nervous.
At the end of every month they open a small number of new memberships. Twenty per tier. That's it.
And the men who take one of those spots get a deal nobody else gets.
No shipping fee. No trial charge. Nothing.
Your membership starts on the 1st of next month. That's your first charge, and your first package ships with 6 free premium cigars packed in with your monthly blend.
When most men hear that, their first reaction isn't excitement. It's suspicion.
"What's the catch? Why would anyone hand me six premium cigars and not charge me a dime today?"
Fair question. So let's answer it head-on, along with the four other reasons men who smoke every night are quietly canceling their trips to the local shop.
6 Hand-Rolled Estelí Cigars, Free. $0 Due Today.
Six of these go into your first package, on top of your monthly blend. $60 to $90 in retail value.
Here's the offer, with nothing hidden. You claim your spot today and pay $0. On the 1st of next month your membership starts, you're billed for the tier you picked, and your first package ships. Inside is that month's blend plus 6 premium cigars, hand-rolled in Estelí, Nicaragua. Free.
So why would any company do this?
Simple. The big brands spend their money on celebrity endorsements, full-page magazine ads, and paying for prime shelf space at every shop. Don Roque spends nothing on any of that. Instead of burning money convincing you with ads, they put six extra cigars in your first package and let the smoke do the talking. They'd rather spend it on a new member's first package than on renting your attention.
And it's only 20 spots per tier. When they're gone, the next ones open at the end of next month.

Every Month, A Cigar That Will Never Exist Again
An actual monthly blend sent to members, fresh off the rolling floor in Estelí. When this run is finished, it's gone for good.
Here's how it works. You pay $0 today. On the 1st your membership starts, and your Reserve Selection ships to your door every month after that. You're billed on the 1st of each month, and you can cancel anytime, no questions asked.
And every single month, you receive a brand-new small-batch blend rolled from an exceptional Nicaraguan harvest. A cigar that has never existed before and, once the tobacco runs out, will never exist again.
The big brands can't do this. They need ten million identical cigars a year, so they're forced to walk away from the small, exceptional harvests a farmer babies in the Jalapa Valley. Four hundred bales isn't enough for a corporate operation. But it's exactly enough for Don Roque.
- A small-batch blend that never hit a retail shelf
- Rolled directly from the aging rooms in Estelí
- Retired forever the moment the tobacco is finished
And you won't just smoke it blind. Every package comes with that month's issue, a magazine built entirely around the exact cigar inside: where the tobacco came from, what to taste for, how to smoke it. Most guys smoke for years and never really learn their own palate. Don Roque turns every month into a lesson.
Each month's issue is built around that month's cigar, so you learn to taste what you're smoking.
Twelve months. Twelve cigars no one else on earth will ever smoke again, and twelve issues that sharpen your palate along the way. You're not buying a subscription. You're getting access to tobacco the big houses left in the dirt.
The small, exceptional harvests the big houses passed on. This is the leaf your monthly blend is rolled from.
35% Off Every Cigar You Ever Buy. Forever.
A $16-at-retail cigar. To a member, far less. This is what 35% off, stacked on every sale, buys you.
The 6 free cigars get you in. This is what makes staying a no-brainer.
Every member gets 35% off the entire Don Roque catalog, automatically, on every order, forever. No minimums. No blackout dates. No fine print.
And here's the part that adds up fast: when there's a sale, your 35% stacks on top of it. You're not saving 35% off the original price. You're saving 35% off the already-reduced sale price. Combined savings reach as high as 60% off retail.
| A $100 order | you pay $65 |
| A $100 order during a 20% sale | you pay $52 |
| A $200 order | you pay $130 |
| $1,000 in orders over a year | you pay $650 |
A cigar that costs $16 a stick at retail isn't $16 to you. The discount alone covers your membership for most guys who smoke regularly.
And you're never locked in. Billing runs on the 1st of every month. Cancel anytime, no questions asked.
