Last hurrah for Dominican-made Henry Clays at J-R?

Los Angeles, May 10 – Ooh, there are some good buys out there. Cigars are getting expensive and some chances to buy five-packs of some top brands are worth pursuing:

Atlantic Cigar:
Great opportunity on one of the best value brands anywhere and any time, Puros Indios.

The entire line is discounted; our favorites include:

> Churchill Especial (7 inches by 53 ring), was $76.80 for the box of 20, now $70.50, the lowest we have seen.

> Presidente (7 1/4 x 47), 20 was $70.80, but is now $55.00.

> E-Epicure (6 x 54), five for $35, and

> P-Perfecto (5 1/2 x 55), five for $39.

• Partagas Cifuentes Seasonal Blend Fall 2004, a great cigar which can be aged beautifully. The Septiembre shape (5 1/2 x 49) is offered in the full box of 20 for $88.95, right at the lowest price we have seen, down from $96.50.

• Trinidad Churchills in maduro (7 x 50), in boxes of 20 for $180, among the lowest we have seen; Corona Tins (5 x 44) in packs of 20 – five tins of four cigars each – for $115.00, the lowest we have seen.

J-R Cigars:
In addition to the new H. Upmann Super Fuerte we noted last week, Lew Rothman’s J-R is offering a passel of new specials:

• Don Diego Corona Major Tubes (5 1/8 x 42), in boxes of 20 was $66.00, now $56.75;

• Flor de Copan from Honduras, now $20 off on all sizes in boxes of 20, now $28.95 to $39.95, formerly $48.95 to $68.95;

• Henry Clay, made in the Dominican Republic, on special before the emphasis shifts to the new Henry Clays made in Honduras.

These roughly-finished cigars have lots of taste thanks to their Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrappers in the line’s three base sizes:

> Brevas (5 1/2 x 42), boxes of 50 are now $104.95, down from $116.95;

> Brevas Conserva (5 5/8 x 46), boxes of 25 were $64.95, now $57.95;

• Medal of Honor in his new Honduran blend, at $25 off per box of 35, now $70-80 per box! Our favorites are the Sweet Deal (6 1/4 x 48) with an Oscuro wrapper or the Best Ever (same size) with a natural wrapper, at $75 the box. Wow!

Mike’s Cigars:
Oscar Boruchin must be re-reading “Don Quixote”; he has a special on Sancho Panza!
