Cigar deals come and go fairly regularly, but they don't always include noteworthy labels and they certainly don't always have unique selections. So, when one drops that's worth checking out, I love to call it out. That's precisely what's happening at Famous Smoke Shop right now, with a bunch of Famous cigar exclusives on sale. You can save 29% to 59% off select boxes, but let me give you a couple of examples. A box of ten in the Natural Gigante vitola -- normally $90 -- is down to $64 today, saving you $26 or 29% off. Alternatively, a box of in the Magnum size is $90, 20% or over $20 off the regular price -- $112. The latter deal on Shadow King even comes with a free branded ashtray. I'll single out some more deals below, but for now I think you should go see the sale for yourself.

What to shop in the Famous cigar exclusives sale?
I might say this a lot but there are like three pages of deals with hundreds of offers so there's absolutely no way I'm going to be able to cover everything noteworthy that's discounted. I highly recommend browsing the sale for yourself, especially since my tastes will always be a little different than your own. I'll never steer you wrong -- I always pick out good cigars -- but that's no guarantee you're going to like them. Cigars are like food, everyone has a different palate.
