Los Angeles, May 22 – Sometimes less is more.

General Cigar is now offering some of their most popular brands in boxes of 10 rather than 25 or 50. Oh, the regular-sized boxes are still available, but here’s chance to stop up on some of your favorites at some very nice prices.

For example, check out the specials at Mike’s Cigars, which now has two terrific prices on Hoyo de Monterrey in boxes of 10 at less than $3 a cigar!

We also found some terrific values at BestCigarPrices.com on the never-discounted Ashton VSG Tres Mystique and on Rolando Reyes’s fabulous Puros Indios Viejo line. Enjoy!

AtlanticCigar.com:
If you’re a little shy about trying out new cigars by buying a whole box, how about trying a five-pack of cigars like these:

• Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona (6 3/4 x 48), in a sampler of five for $15.00!

• Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve, loaded with flavor, also in sampler packs:

> Robuisto (5 1/2 x 54), five for $47.25 with your choice of corojo or maduro wrappers;

> Toro (6 1/2 x 52), five for $56.25 or

> Torpedo (5 x 54), also five for $47.25.

Famous Smoke Shop:
Famous has three famous brands at prices we couldn’t find elsewhere in our review: • Excalibur No. VI (5 1/2 x 38), in a box of 20 was $55.95, now $51.95.

• Romeo y Julieta Aniversario No. 2 (6 1/8 x 52), in a box of 25 was $168.95, now $166.95, best in our survey, or you can try the Churchill (7 x 54) 25 was $179.95, now $177.95 or the Corona (5 1/2 x 44) 25 was $134.95, now $131.95.

Holt’s:
Holt’s is running another of its bonus-pack specials, this time with the Montecristo White Label No. 2 Belicoso (6 1/8 x 52) in the “Weekly Specials” section.

Buy a box at Holt’s regular price of $270.00 each for 25 cigars and you’ll get a bonus of a Rochester Humidor and 15 free cigars including five each of the Montecristo No. 2 (6 x 50), H. Upmann Vintage Belicoso (6 1/8 x 52) and the Romeo y Julieta 1875 Belicoso (6 1/8 x 54). The price on the regular box is competitive, but with the bonus, it’s just ridiculous!

J-R Cigars:
The largest cigar retailer on the planet, J-R has two famous brands at special pricing:

• Cuesta-Rey Centenario Aristocrat (7 x 46), in a box of 10 for $44.95.

• Excalibur Royal Sterling Nobilis (5 1/4 x 50), a tremendously under-appreciated blend with light-colored wrappers but plenty of taste, in a box of 20 for $68.50.

Mike’s Cigars:
Our new no. 1-ranked national retailer has terrific pricing on two specials on well-loved brands:

• Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona (6 3/4 x 48), in a box of 10 for $26.95, or you can try the Governor size (6 1/8 x 50), in a box of 10 for $25.95.

• La Gloria Cubana Miami-made Corona Gordas (6 x 52), in your choice of natural or maduro wrappers in boxes of 25, now $70.95.

TNT Cigars:
TNT ranked no. 2 in our latest ranking of national retailers and had nice prices on two of Jonathan Drew’s finest:

• Acid Kuba Kuba (5 x 54), in a sampler pack of five was $28.35, now $19.95.

• Isla Del Sol, the newest from Drew Estates, at the lowest prices we have seen:

> Churchill (7 x 50), in a box of 20 for $42.95;

> Gran Corona (5 x 44), in 20s for $32.95;

> Robusto (5 x 52), 20 for $34.95 and

> Toro (6 x 52), 20 for $39.95.

• Padron specials on the standard line, which we think is actually their best:

> 2000 (5 x 50), with natural wrappers only, in a box of 20 was $67.55, now $64.55, or

> Panatela (6 7/8 x 36), in a box of 26 (yes, 26!) for $57.95.

And the winner is:
