ImageGreat values on Rocky Patel, Torano and much more!

Los Angeles, February 12 – Although cigars are less and less the gifts of fathers after the birth of their children, it’s certainly a custom worth keeping. And there are even more choices than ever these days for your “It’s A Boy” or “It’s a Girl” cigar.

One choice that’s nicely priced among the handmade entries in the celebration cigar category is the Arturo Fuente Breva Royal. It’s handmade like the rest of the Fuente line, but has some mixed filler – instead of all long-filler leaves – that helps the price down. And now, this cigar is being offered at a nice price by J-R Cigars just in time for the spring!

That’s only one of nearly two dozen brands we would on sale for this week, but only while supplies last!

Any discussion of quality, mild-bodied cigars has to include Helix. Instantly recognizable thanks to its electric blue band, the Helix line was developed by U.S. Tobacco and then merged into General Cigar’s brand line-up when UST handed over its cigar division in settlement of a dispute over smokeless tobacco. Hand over an entire division?

  • Arturo Fuente Seleccion d’Or Churchill (7 1/4 inches by 48 ring gauge), with a Connecticut wrapper instead of the famed Cameroon leaf used on the Gran Reserva series, in the box of 25 for $105.00, best in our survey.

  • C.A.O. America, a sensation thanks to its pin-striped approach, at very nice prices:

    Did you know?

    Because Fonseca Port is so well known, some 1920s Fonseca cigars came in canisters shaped like bottles of Port!
