Cuban Crafters currently have a nice deal on the Medina 1959 Miami cigars. You can get a 10-pack sampler of torpedos for just $59.99 (~50% discount). Pretty good if you like mild to medium cigars. Click here for the offer.

Reviews:

• Nicky187 (robusto): This was easily one of the best cigars I have ever smoked. Satisfying, mild progressing to medium full at the end. Beautiful cosmetically, and constructed as well as it looked.
• Jason (churchill): I found this cigar to be surprisingly complex for a mild stick.

There have been a couple of nice deals this week, so I thought I should share.

First of all, CheapHumidors released a 15% off coupon valid on all their items. If you have been looking for a really cheap humidor lately, it might be a good moment to trigger that purchase. The coupon code is TZT7-M87LNQ. Go there now!

Then, as usual, there's something interesting at Cuban Crafters. Their New Year VIP specials include a sampler of the recently reviewed Medina 1959 Miami, Don Kikis, Cubano Claro and some cigar accessories. Check it out.

And, to finish with, Cigars International have put up a sampler of AVO XO at a discounted price. You can pick up 7 sticks of different formats for $54.95. It's here.

Enjoy the deals!

Do you want to try everything (well, except all those regional editions) Habanos SA released in 2009 without buying boxes? TopCubans.com prepared a special sampler that contains all the new 2009 cigars so one can try them out before ordering more important quantities. Richard was kind enough to send me one - and it looks great, as you can see from the picture above.

Of course, it contains the brand new Montecristo Open line (one of each vitola) and will allow me to see whether they are better than the Master. But more importantly, there is a whole set of limited editions: Romeo y Julieta Duke, Bolivar Petit Belicoso and the impatiantly awaited H. Upmann Magnum 48 (2 of each). To make it even more attractive, there are also two Trinidad Robusto Ts included in the set.

I am very impatient to smoke these sticks; if you want to get yourself this sampler, feel free to check out TopCubans.com.

Folks at The Cigar Store are giving a 15% discount on everything until June 22. They co-sponsored one of our contests and overall are good guys. To qualify for the discount, just enter "TFD952AB" when checking out.

They've got some sweet deals like the Oliva Serie V Torpedo at under $150/box (review here) or the Don Ramon that we recently reviewed.

I'm a sucker for Limited and Regional editions. Even though several years of marketing studies immediately tell me that this is just a trick to make more and more sales, I am still very attracted by those edicion limitada labels and try them whenever I have a chance.

Furthermore, they are rarely available by single - and it's not always an easy decision ordering a whole box. Imagine the investment if you want to try 5-10 different editions? This is why when I saw this sampler at TopCubans.com I thought that it might be a good idea to get one... Thanks to Richard, 5 days later I found a package in my post. It contained 10 gorgeous Limited & Regional edition cigars, including:

• Montecristo Sublimes LE 2008
• Montecristo No. 4 Reserva (woot!)
• Partagas Serie D No. 5 LE 2008 (it sold out in one week in my local B&M and I couldn't find it anywhere else)
• Ramon Allones Eminencia RE 2005
• Trinidad Ingenios LE 2007
• Hoyo de Monterrey Regalos LE 2007
• ...

They were shipped in a nice travel humidor. As you can imagine I am very happy and would like to thank Richard and TopCubans.com (leave them a review if you've used them in the past!).

Very soon, the dreaded SCHIP will be applied... Meanwhile, smokers stock up on their favorite cigars and retailers do their best to increase their sales.

CigarsDirect.com, for example, offers interesting discounts on some premium smokes such as Ashton ESG, Arturo Fuente Anejo, Opus X, Hemingway or Padron 1926. The sale is called "Bull-Schip" which I find quite funny, hence this post. If you are looking to purchase premium cigars before we get hit by the tax, you still have a couple of days left to take advantage of the offer.

I don't post very often about discounts and offers, but when I see something really interesting, I can't resist. CigarOne is having a 20% promotion on my all-time favorite Cuban cigars, this is something that should not be missed. The cigars include (click on the cigar name to read my review):

• Ramon Allones Specially Selected
• Bolivar Royal Coronas
• Montecristo Petit Edmundo
• Partagas Serie P No. 2

Here is the offer page. The deal is valid until the 11th of November. Enjoy.
