Favorite Discontinued Cigars

[RevZeek]

The Medalist by Alec Bradley. This was the first cigar that I really enjoyed. Nice natural, oily wrapper.

My local B&M still has a few boxes left.

I remember when the original was released and my buddy and I went to a release tasting and loved it.
Fast forward to last year and bought a 5-pack and it just didn't taste as nice.

Granted I hadn't been smoking in 8 years or so but still.

THANKS

I can't recall when they changed the blend, but it was a while ago. The originals were like smoking brownies and had a fantastic aroma. The current ones are just OK to me.

Where did you find them? All places I usually buy from have sold out. And yes, the Edge Sumatras are discontinued since Rocky Patel decided to use the wrapper on the Decade line instead. Apparently the amount of Sumatra wrappers was not enough for both Edge and Decade and they make more money from the Decades so...

But, I read this at another forum:

The local JR people told me several months ago the Edge Sumatra's were a one time run to coincide with some RP events at the time. Maybe it was a trial ballon to guage demand and they will make more.

I may not like them NOW...but during the boom years I really liked the
Mi Cubanos.

I have never purchased from these people but they seem to have some in stock?

My Local B&M has some as well, I may stop by and see how many Today. I enjoy the Sumatras!

Padilla Achilles. yup. so tasty.

As for CC's, only some old stuff that doesn't count as "discontinued."

If you didn't find them yet, http://www.holts.com/category.html?i...23&trail=86665

Go to the dropdowns under Toro and Torpedo and you'll find the Sumatras, along with the Maduros and Corojos.

Are the Sumatras that good? I love the other two...
