A cigar sampler club: five hand-rolled cigars a month across varied sizes, wrappers, and origins (Nicaragua, Honduras, the Dominican Republic), with a newsletter and a free humidification device to start. Shipping is a notable bright spot here, about $8 rather than the $20 the food and drink clubs charge, so the roughly $33.95 Premium club lands near $41.95 all in. Leaving is easy (online form, phone, email, or chat, cancel anytime, refund on anything unshipped) and gift plans do not auto-renew, so watch the monthly cutoff: stop the next box before the 1st.

Scentbird is the low-commitment way to wear designer and niche fragrance: an 8ml travel spray of a scent you pick from a catalog of hundreds, mailed monthly, for about the price of a couple of coffees. Editorial reviewers and a very high app-store rating praise it as one of the best ways to test-drive a fragrance before buying a full bottle, and the products themselves are consistently described as authentic and generous. Two things are worth knowing going in, and we would rather you hear them from us. First, this is a monthly auto-renewing subscription with no free trial, and the charge for each month lands on a set billing date, with a hard cutoff on the 5th of the month to skip or cancel before that box ships. Second, Scentbird's weak spot is fulfillment and support: shipping delays are a real and recurring complaint, and the most common billing complaint is a charge that lands the month after someone thought they had canceled. None of that touches the fragrance quality, and all of it is exactly what a reminder is for. Track it here and we send a heads-up before each monthly billing date, so you can pick your scent, hit Skip on a month you do not want, or cancel with time to spare, and nothing surprises you.
