Page 1 of 2  More than two dozen brands on special this week!Los Angeles, August 5 – Philip Wynne, the man behind the Felipe Gregorio brand, created a medium-bodied, value-priced cigar in 2002 that was designed to reflect a style of cigar popular from Havana during the 1950s. Contrary to today’s perception of Cuban cigars as powerful and heavy, many pre-embargo brands were easy on the palate to satisfy the American market and Wynne’s Memoria de Cuba plays the same tune, with a Connecticut Shade wrapper and Dominican-grown binder and filler leaves. Offered in the standard sizes – Churchill (7 inches by 50 ring), Toro (6 x 50), Robusto (5 x 50) and Torpedo (6 1/2 x 54), Mike’s Cigars has them on special to its regular customers at $74.95 a box, but for CigarCyclopedia.com readers only, they’re just $64.95 per box of 25, regardless of size! Click here to take advantage of this readers-only special.
