  • Altadis U.S.A. also makes the Quintero brand, an underrated performer that on sale in the Belicoso shape (6 1/8 x 52), in a box of 20 that’s normally $73.99, now $69.95.

    Holt's:
    If you’re a fan of Pete Johnson and his Cabaiguan and Tatuaje brands, these deals are for you:

  • Cabaiguan Guapo 46 (5 5/8 x 46), in a box of 20 now $161.95, lowest in our survey.

  • Tatuaje Havana Cazadores (6 3/8 x 43), 25 for $219.95, lowest we have seen.

    J-R Cigars:
    Lovers of maduro-wrapped cigars know the Onyx Reserve line well. If you’re looking for a short smoke in that series, the Impulse (4 x 30) is for you. It’s now on sale on packs of 50, normally $33.50, now $32.50, best in our review.

    L'il Brown Smoke Shack:
    If you ever get the meet Gene Arganese, the man behind his self-named brand, his infectious enthusiasm will have you racing out to try his cigars . . . after you finish the samples he just handed you!

    This week, his Arganese Maduro Series is on special on two of the more popular sizes:

  • Robusto (5 x 50), five for $21.95 or in the box of 20 for $83.00;

  • Torpedo (6 3/4 x 52), five for $25.95 or 20 for $98.10.

  • Nat Sherman Suave series, named for some of the most famous New Yorkers of all time, is also nicely priced this week:

    > Dewitt Clinton (4 1/2 x 50), in the box of 25 for $65.70;

    > Harriman (6 x 50), 25 for $70.00;

    > La Guardia (5 1/2 x 43), 25 for $61.25;

    > Rockefeller (7 1/2 x 50), 25 for $87.50;

    > Roosevelt (6 1/8 x 54), 25 for $87.50.

    Mike's Cigars:
    Davidoff of Geneva is famous for its high-profile brands such as Davidoff, Zino and Avo, but The Griffin’s has been a winner for them, at a more modest price point for a long time. Those who desire stronger flavors may enjoy The Griffin’s Fuerte a little more, but both brands are worth exploring and should be on your “have tried” list:

  • The Griffin’s, made in the Dominican Republic with a subtle flavor:

    > No. 300 (6 1/4 x 44), in a sampler pack of five for $21.60, or in aluminum tubes (Tubos), four for $18.00;

    > Prestige (7 1/2 x 50), four for $25.50;

    > Robusto (5 x 50), four for $19.70;

    > Short Robusto (4 1/4 x 48), 25 for $102.00;

    > Toro (6 1/4 x 52), four for $22.25.

  • The Griffin’s Fuerte, a new blend with a more forthright taste that earned a grade of “A: Exceptional” in our tasting in May:

    > Robusto (4 3/4 x 48), in the box of 10 for $51.00;

    > Short Corona (4 x 43), 10 for $34.20, or try

    > Toro (6 x 50), 10 for $58.20.

    We’ll have our Register & Win winner of the week announcement tomorrow.
