STEALS AND DEALS

Plus: our Register & Win winner of the week!

Los Angeles, September 18 – In 2002, when everyone was introducing full-bodied, powerful cigars, Edgar Cullman of General Cigar decided to go contrarian.

He wanted a very light cigar, made from delicate and bright Connecticut Shade wrapper leaves. It was named Macanudo Gold Label and while it’s not always available because of the limited amount of wrapper available, it might be the best of the entire Macanudo line.

The Shakespeare size is on special at AtlanticCigar.com and if you’re a fan of cigars with delicate flavors, go for the Gold! We found plenty of other nice prices as well, notably on several styles of the vast C.A.O. brand line-up.
