Page 1 of 2  Want to try those hard-to-find cigars? Check out Holt’s samplers!Los Angeles, June 24 – There are gimmicks and then there is the Leopard. A size within the popular Felipe Gregorio’s Felipe Power series, the Leopard is a 5 1/2-inch by 55-ring perfecto that features a Costa Rican-grown wrapper from pre-Castro Cuban seeds nurtured into the 21st Century at the Tabacos de la Cordillera. But that’s not what makes it special. Leopards are known for their spots and this Leopard is covered with spots, or – if you prefer – polka dots! The spots are actually small circles of Connecticut wrapper leaf hand-attached to the cigar’s Costa Rican wrapper! It’s most definitely a conversation starter and the Leopard – along with other shapes in the Felipe Power line – are being offered in sampler packs of five at Cigars International. They aren’t cheap, but works of art rarely are! BestCigarPrices.com: The well-known Acid series is on sale at Best, with the fat Ming size (6 inches by 60 ring), now offered in boxes of 12 for $78.95, lowest in our survey. In addition, a new size called Toast, a classic toro of six inches and 50 ring is now available in boxes of 24 for $134.95! > Toro (6 x 50), in boxes of 20 was $31.00, now $28.00; > Wavell (5 x 50), 20 was $30.00, now $29.00. > Churchill (7 1/4 x 48 in glass tubes), in boxes of 20 was $210.95, now $148.95; > Robusto (5 x 50 in glass tubes), 20 was $175.95, now $127.95. Bonita Smoke Shop: A good value for smokers with big mouths – you know someone who resembles that remark – on the Rocky Patel Vintage 1992 Sixty (6 x 60), in the box of 20 for $147.50! Cigars International: Keith Meier and his band of merry men in Bath, Pennsylvania have a terrific special on samplers of the Felipe Power line, made in the Dominican Republic with a rich Costa Rican wrapper.
