Discontinued Cigars?

[fry2011]

I was doing some browsing tonight, looking for the prices of boxes for my favorite cigar this far, the Gurkha Master Select, and I came to famous-smoke.com. Here I found said cigar labeled as Discontinued and marked down in price! I did some searching to see if this was true. I have only found two web sites stating this, both an online cigar store. My question is...Is there a place I can go to that has an official list of cigars that have become discontinued? Or can any of you gentleman confirm this to be true? I just feel like this is something a store would do to sell more, but the prices where dropped quite a bit.

There's a difference between a manufacturer discontinuing a stick and a retailer discontinuing the stick... Just means they're gonna stop carrying it.

I am already missing the La Gloria Cubana Reserva Figurado. I find a few here and there. I give it about 6 months and they'll be extinct.

Gurkha has so may lines of cigars its hard to keep track of what is what. Good luck.

Thanks squid for the explanation, maybe these sites should say they will not carry these cigars any more and not make the customer think these cigars are gone for ever.

Nothing on the Gurkha site about them being discontinued.

best thing to do is contact the manufact. direct and find out thru them.
