STEALS AND DEALSPlus: our Register & Win winner of the week!

Los Angeles, September 25 – Forget about the raging national debate about childhood obesity.

What about cigar obesity?

This week’s specials include some nice deals on some fat cigars of 60 ring gauge – almost an inch in diameter! You can try the six-inch by 60-ring Don Tomas Sun Grown Gigante, or the new Padron 7000 (6 1/4 by 60) or the Perdomo Habano Gordo (6 x 60)!

At Holt’s, the Weekly Specials include the famed Rocky Patel “The Edge” Gran Robusto Corojo at nice prices in the box of 20, or how about some richly flavored Fonseca Sun Grown Cedar No. 5s at about one-third off? And we found lots more items of interest:
