Special holiday promotions from Atlantic Cigar and Cigars International

Los Angeles, December 9 – It’s holiday time for sure. Some of our favorite vendors – listed on our exclusive “Comparison Shopper” spreadsheet on our value-packed CigarWire service -- are in the spirit of the season and offering some notable values:

Atlantic Cigar:
The boys at Atlantic had a big time slashing prices and introducing a barrel of new products during the last fortnight:

• Excellent Cuesta Rey Centro Fino Sun Grown sampler – which ranked no. 6 in our list of top medium-bodied cigars – in a pack of four different sizes for $19.95. It’s the perfect way to try out this brand that we think quite highly of.

• Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 Silver Series, another great sampler: a pack of four with two Robusto Corto (4 7/8 x 52) and two Grand Churchill (7 x 50) for just $12.95.
