Page 1 of 2  Some well-known, well-made cigars at about $1 a stick!Los Angeles, January 15 – We look at a lot of prices each week to compile our list of the best values we found on our Comparison Shopper of ten top national retailers. But we got a good laugh when we saw this one. The sales line of the week comes from Cigars International, introducing a brand we've never heard of before called "Don Brotto:" "Another Don 'Nobody' that didn't make the post-boom cut. Thankfully, it's a decent, medium-sized smoke with a quality level that justifies its 80-cent price tag . . . even if only barely. Regardless, this is a great one for yard work or handing off to moochers!" Now that's honesty! A bundle of 25 costs you $19.95 in any of four sizes. And we found a lot more deals on cigars that you've actually heard of! Our Readers-Only special of the week: La Flor del Caney is a brand you might have heard of. It was developed in Cuba primarily as a machine-made brand for sale in Eastern Europe in the 1970s. It never really developed a following and was apparently discontinued in 1997. Mike's Cigars asked Manuel Quesada at MATASA to make a high-quality, handmade version of this brand and he succeeded! It was introduced in 2001 with a medium-to-full-bodied flavor and a Cameroon wrapper. Available in five sizes, the boxes of 25 retail for up to $87.50, but this week, every size is on sale for $29.95! Click here to take advantage of this unique, readers-only special. Our thanks to Mike's for this reader's-only offer; you can buy as many of these specials as you like until 9 a.m. Eastern time on Monday, January 21, or until supplies run out. Cigars International: Beyond the deal on the above-mentioned Don Brotto, check out these specials: Famous Smoke Shop: Famous has a sale going on the already-unusually-named Acid line, and in particular on one shape that begs the question: who is Larry and why is he considered so "extra ordinary"?
