The initial membership package includes a three-cigar gift set, three cigars encased in glass, a 24-piece box of cru chocolates, a pound of coffee, and a P-M coffee cup.

After a meeting with Payne-Mason founder, Bob Payne, JustLuxe's president and in-house cigar aficionado, Gilbert Gautereaux, proclaimed, "I've enjoyed some of the best cigars in some of the world's most exotic locations. The Payne-Mason Torpedo Barber ranks in the top three. Bob's enthusiasm about his products is surpassed only by the products' quality. I'd challenge anyone to do their own comparison and see for themselves."
