ImageMore than two dozen brands on special this week!

Los Angeles, September 30 – Zino Davidoff used to say of his rather expensive Davidoff cigar line, “Smoke less, but smoke the best.”

That could be a rallying cry in today’s troubled economic times, but there are good values to be had on plenty of brands this week, notably in sampler packs of five on some high-profile brands. But there is also a terrific special on the JM’s Dominican line at L’il Brown, a sensational value cigar that’s perfect for everyday smoking and stacked up well in our tasting against brands costing many times more.
