I was over to the JR website. looking at the JR Luxury Cigar Club. Seems a little weird to me.
You pay $25 to join the club, and then you get a 10% "discount" on the "Luxury" cigars they offer. The fee is automatically added to the initial order of any Luxury cigar.
So it seems to me that you have to join the club in order to buy the Luxury cigars. Am I correct? If so what kind of a discount is it?
If the only people who can buy these cigars must be members who get 10% off, then all of the Luxury cigars sold get purchased for 10% under the alleged "retail price". So a person buys a $25 membership in order to buy cigars at the same price as anybody else who is permitted to buy them.
I guess I don't really mind that they have a fee to get special offerings (not much!). But don't claim to offer a discount for that fee, if that fee simply allows one to pay the same rate as everybody else.
Again, am I reading this right?
