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

Los Angeles, November 6 – The holidays are coming and if you’re looking for a special gift for a cigar lover (like yourself), Altadis U.S.A. has an idea.

It’s a Montecristo Cigars and Pen Set, offered in a sleek black box incorporating one each of five different Montecristo blends in either the Robusto or Toro size: Montecristo, Montecristo Classic, Montecristo Platinum, Montecristo Serie C and Montecristo White Label.

It also includes a specially-produced, Montecristo-branded roller ball pen which incorporates a cigar punch! In addition, $10 from each sale will be donated to the Montecristo Relief Foundation, which assists victims of natural disasters in the Caribbean and the U.S.

It’s available now at TinderBox.com at a quite reasonable price and will be appreciated long after the cigars have been enjoyed. And that’s just one of the specials we found for this week’s list:
