Plus: our Register & Win winner of the week!Los Angeles, October 30 – The name Nat Sherman has been synonymous with cigars for more than three-quarters of a century. The Nat Sherman line of cigars, however, has receded in profile in recent years and the staggering one-time variety of blends – City Desk, Exchange, Fifth Avenue, Gotham, Host, Landmark, LSN, Manhattan, Metropolitan and VIP – are down to just Host and Metropolitan. But they’re still pretty good and well worth checking out. The Metropolitans – including the terrific maduro-wrapped versions – are on sale at Superior Cigars. And there are many more quality specials this week: BestCigarPrices.com: A nice price on the Montecristo White Label Especial No. 1 (6 5/8 x 44), a terrific Lonsdale-format cigar, in a box of 27 for $179.00. Cigars International: The new Oliva Serie V has been well received and now it’s on special: > Churchill Extra (7 x 52), in the box of 24 was $156.00, now $154.95, best in our survey; > Special Figurado (6 x 60), 24 was $172.00, now $169.95 or try > Torpedo (6 x 56), 24 was $145.00, now $143.95. Famous Smoke Shop: Famous has a nice special on a fairly new blend that’s below the radar, but worth your attention: Troya Clasico, made by Don Pepin Garcia in his Tabacalera Cubana factory in Esteli, Nicaragua.
