Plus: our Register & Win winner of the week!Los Angeles, October 2 – No one needs to introduce the Romeo y Julieta brand to veteran cigar smokers: it’s one of the most popular brands in the U.S. Altadis U.S.A. introduced the first Honduran-made Romeo y Julieta since the early 1990s this summer, the Romeo y Julieta Habana Reserve. It’s designed to be the fullest-bodied Romeo of all with a Nicaraguan wrapper and binder and Honduran and Nicaraguan filler leaves. It’s on special this week at the best prices we have seen thus far at J-R Cigars and Mike’s Cigars. The La Aurora line is consistently underrated, but it’s among the best coming from the Dominican Republic. The especially luscious La Aurora Maduro Bristol Especiales is on special this week at BestCigarPrices.com. And we found plenty of other deals worth considering: AtlanticCigar.com: Tony Borhani is proud of his new Bahia Icon line, produced in Nicaragua and with an elegant draw and rich flavors.
