Plus: our Register & Win winner of the week

Los Angeles, July 31 – Lots of new smokers are looking for cigars that they can enjoy without being overpowered.

Naturally, the nation’s leading brand – Macanudo – would be a good choice. So would the like and sweet Baccarat or Nat Sherman Host Selection lines.

But so would the elegant, clean and bright Chateau Real line from Drew Estates. It has the balance, flavor and elegance in manufacture to become a classic and at terrific prices from Cigars International, now is a great time to try it!

But that’s only one of many nice prices we found this week, including some sensational savings on the Excalibur Royal Sterling line that impressed us so much last week.
