Plus: our Register & Win winner of the week!
Los Angeles, September 4 – It’s hard to think of a Cohiba cigar as “low profile.” But the Cohiba XV by General Cigar qualifies.
After introducing – with considerable fanfare – the “Red Dot” Cohiba in 1997, General created the Extra Vigoroso line in 2001. It features a dark and sweet Ecuadorian-grown, Sumatra-seed wrapper and a rich, deep taste.
A treat when you can find it, it’s often out of stock. But Cigars International has it at startling prices, so get ‘em while they last! And that’s only one of this week’s specials, so welcome back from summer and start smoking!
AtlanticCigar.com: The folks at Davidoff didn’t have to introduce a new presentation of the already-elegant Zino Platinum Scepter series, but they did.
The Zino Platinum Scepter Master Edition 2007 is a gorgeous case of ten cigars, each five inches by 54 ring, offered now for $117.00, the best in our survey.
