The deal is called "5 Vegas 5-Star Torpedo Sampler" and it was $4.99 with free shipping.

I wish I had come here first (found the other one on a deal site), because I also got the Holt's sampler farther down on the forum. I'm trying to fill a humidor for Father's day since dad's always wanted one but could never pull the trigger on it, since he didn't want to pay to fill it. My question is, are both these sampler packs good enough? Because if so, I was just going to have my sister order both of them again so that the humidor is halfway full (I couldn't buy more than one of either). If not, I figure I'll swing by the store to pick up 5 Romeo Julietas (those are the only ones I remember that he smokes).
Maybe I'm approaching this all wrong, also, I have no idea.
Sorry if I'm in the wrong place.
I can't speak for the 5 Vegas myself, but the Holt's deal is well worth the price - I've got one in the mail myself. And I don't know if I'd fill the humidor or not... maybe find one more 5 pack that's more expensive to give him a good variety, then leave him room to start adding once he gets a handle on what he really likes.
If you're sold on filling it though, that Holt's deal really is a good one.
How big is the humidor you bought him? I would agree with Nathan it's better not to fill it up, leaves him room to shop for himself.
You may also want to consider this if you know he likes RyJ

The 5 Vegas sampler is a great deal on some really decent cigars.
Whatever you choose, good on you for treating your Dad on Fathers Day! :bigthumbs: Any dad that smokes cigars would be thrilled with such a gift.
This is what I get for not checking my email over the weekend... I totally missed that JR Cigar deal.
But I think I'm gonna go with your advice and just grab him a 5-Pack of the Romeo Julietas. The humidor's supposed to fit 50 cigars, so 20 should be enough for now, right? My hope is that he'll be so excited that he goes out right away to buy some stuff to put in it anyway lmao!

You should be good. The will rate humidor capacity on smaller cigars, so if you are buying toros or even robustos it will fill nicely,
