CigarCraig’s 12 Spectacular Days of Cigar Giveaways 2015 Day 2: Selected Tobacco

Day two features some very special cigars courtesy of David Garofalo and the fine folks at 2 Guys Smokeshop, United Cigar Retailers and  Selected Tobacco.  It’s Saturday, so don’t forget to tune in to The Cigar Authority show at Noon Eastern Time, maybe the boys there give us a little shout-out?  Anyway, today’s present is a 3 cigar sampler consisting of an Atabey, a Byron and a Bandolero cigar in re-usable humitubes, and a super cool Atabey porcelain ashtray. Retail value before taxes is $200. I’ve had the good fortune to have smoked each of these cigars and they are of exceptional quality, all made in Costa Rica under the watchful eye and ridiculously high standards of Nelson Alphonso.  These are special occasion cigars that are a real treat!

PACK 3 BRAND - 2Atabey Ashtray 1

Now is the Time to Contact 
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan & Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
 
Since the Tobacco Control Act took effect, cigar patrons, retail tobacconists and manufacturers from across the premium cigar industry have been fighting in Washington, D.C. to preserve the simple enjoyment of a premium cigar – to protect that enjoyment from a threatening bureaucracy at the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
At this very moment, Congress is debating the federal budget, and regulations that can be addressed to prevent massive loss of jobs and the destruction of the cigar industry is a part of that debate.
The House of Representatives and the Senate needs to hear from you! Now is the time to add your voice to the fight to preserve premium cigars.
Please contact today, the Office of House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
and tell them Premium Cigars Must Be Exempt From FDA Regulation!
 
Please note, the lines may be busy, and voice mail box may be full, but please continue to reach out until your voice is heard!

 

 

If the FDA has their way, where will be no more giveaways like this!  Take a few minutes and make the calls!

    I am a HUGE fan of the selected tobacco line. The Atabey Brujos is my favorite cigar hands down followed closely by the Byron Poemas. I have met Nelson and he is a true gentleman and has a passion for making the best cigars in the world and I think he has done just that. Atabey, Byron, and Bandolero are some of the top cigars in the world. Also, David Garofalo is a great guy and I love his stores and their staff.

  10. Mike Perry

    I haven’t tried any of these, but I keep hearing about them. I promise if I win, I’ll smoke them while calling the Speaker and the Majority Leader.
