Are you wiped-out from all your holiday gift shopping? Sure, you'd like to buy more cigars, but your wallet's now thinner than your credit card - but at least you still have a credit card. So, what if you could buy some top-quality closeouts that just arrived from one of Nicaragua's leading tabacaleras for well under $2 a smoke. (The original boxed edition was selling for well over $100 at the regular price!)

(An annual parody)
 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the casa,
Swirled ribbons of smoke from my Liga Privada;
My humidor placed by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While CAO Visions danced in my head;
And Mom in her 'kerchief, and I in my robe,
Had just settled down for a long winter's smoke;
When out on the lawn dropped a Siboney bundle,
I sprang from my chair and started to stumble.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and reached for the stash;
Moonlight on the wrappers of fresh-rolled cigars
Gave them a luster like thousands of stars;
When, what to my wondering eyes was appearing,
Dozens of Davidoffs, oh how endearing!

 El Rico Habano Corona Supremo
Country of Origin: Dom. Rep
Size/Strength: 6" x 50 / Full
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra
Filler: Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan
Presentation: Box of 25 cigars
Famous Smoke Shop Rating: 93
If you're freaky for full-bodied cigars, El Rico Habano is one of those classic brands that's been around since the early 1970's, yet easily stands up to today's myriad full-bodied offerings. The brand was first produced at the El Credito Factory in "Little Havana," Miami, where La Gloria Cubana Artesanos de Miami cigars are made, and in over 30 years, little has changed. The blend currently consists of Nicaraguan longfiller & binder rolled in a sweet and savory Sumatra wrapper sun-grown in Ecuador.
