I’m a cigar expert — Here are my 5 favorite cigar deals today

The Manual

Sure, there are usually cigar deals available at many of the online sellers, but when it comes to cigars, not all of them are worth shopping. You see, sometimes there are cheap or affordable cigars that are really good, others not so much. Meanwhile, there are even expensive cigars that are not so good. It depends on your palate, your preferences, and, more importantly, the blend of the cigar. It helps to know someone who can point out the best deals or, rather, help you find the most flavorful and enjoyable cigars. Right here, right now, that’s me.

If you’re looking to save big on cigar deals and get your hands on some fantastic smokes, you’ve come to the right place.

It works out to about $5 per stick, which isn’t bad at all especially if you get more expensive smokes.

Favorite cigar box deal

Oliva Serie V Double Robusto cigar box best cigar deals
Oliva

With a sun-grown Nicaraguan Habano wrapper, Jalapa long-fillers, and a long list of deliciously complex flavors, I highly recommend taking advantage of this Oliva Serie V deal. Not to mention, they come in boxes of 24, which is an increase over the average 10 to 20 per box you normally get.

Bonus: Padron 1926 Serie 80 Years Maduro — $270, was $280

Another excellent cigar deal

Padron 1926 Serie 80 Years Maduro
Padron

This 96-point rated cigar is also one of the top 25 cigars, and after you light one up, you’ll immediately see why. It’s a full-bodied Nicaraguan cigar with a Maduro wrapper, complex flavors like wood, leather, and sweetness, and a consistent and smooth experience that’s probably going to be one of the more memorable times you ever have with a cigar, especially if you’re in good company. The deal isn’t too bad, either.

I smoke cigars all the time, and I have many recommendations and plenty of advice to share with others. But none of those things qualify me as an expert. Really, it’s the years of experience, the time I’ve invested in the world of cigars, the excellent connections I’ve made with cigar makers and sellers, and the vast wealth of knowledge I’ve gained during that time. I know what goes into a good cigar, and I’ve certainly earned the right to recommend some to others, whether you’re a beginner and this is your first time smoking or have your own cabinet humidor stocked and maintained. Instead of waxing poetic, I’d rather let my recommendations and advice columns speak for me.

The reviews are in for Furiosa, and critics say it’s a ‘visceral triumph’
Is Furiosa worth seeing in theaters?
Anya Taylor-Joy in Furiosa.

Almost a decade after director George Miller last ventured into the wasteland with Mad Max: Fury Road, the director is back with Furiosa. An explicit prequel to Fury Road, Furiosa stars Anya Taylor-Joy as the titular character, who was played by Charlize Theron in Fury Road. While plot details are still somewhat scarce, we know that the movie is set 15 years before the events of Fury Road, and that it co-stars Chris Hemsworth as a warlord named Dementus.

The movie is set to hit theaters on May 24, and in advance of its release, we're starting to get a sense of its critical response. While formal reviews have not yet been published, social media responses are now live, and they're overwhelmingly positive.

Will Justified: City Primeval season 2 happen?
Everything we know so far about Justified: City Primeval season 2
Timothy Olyphant in Justified: City Primeval.

Last year, Timothy Olyphant reprised his role as U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens in Justified: City Primeval, one of the best shows on FX and Hulu in 2023. The eight-episode miniseries was a follow-up to Justified, which ran for six seasons on FX from 2010 to 2015. While Justified was based on Elmore Leonard's Fire in the Hole, City Primeval was based on a separate story by Leonard that didn't originally feature Raylan. It was reworked for television as a Justified sequel with Raylan as the main character.

Following the conclusion of the miniseries, fans have been asking about Justified: City Primeval season 2, especially since the ending leaves the door wide open for a major reunion from Justified. But don't get too excited just yet. We're sharing everything we know about Justified: City Primeval season 2, and it's not all good news. But the early word is at least encouraging.
Has Justified: City Primeval been renewed for season 2?

Now that Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy is also an Oscar winner, it's safe to say that the show's profile has never been higher. The show's run ended in 2022 after six seasons, telling the story of a crime family that emerges after World War I in Birmingham, England, and it's one of the best shows on Netflix. Murphy starred as Tommy Shelby, the leader of the family, and was joined by an ensemble cast that included Paul Anderson,  Helen McCrory, Finn Cole, Sophie Rundle, Tom Hardy and Anya Taylor-Joy, among many others.
