Puros Y Vino Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Saw this mentioned on another forum. Halfwheel has the story. "Production on the 7 x 47 Churchill vitola ceased in the second half of 2014, with news of the official delisting coming recently from Antoine Bathie of SEITA, the distributor of the line in France, along with the Jose L. Piedra marca" A shame if true. Let the run on Imperiales commence! 1
riazp Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Damn good cigar. Shame to see Habanos once again drop the ball on a great cigar from a smaller marca....I guess Qd'o will be a regional centric brand like Flor de cano...
torsion Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 It's the 2nd time I've heard this in the week. I've yet to try this marca, it's a shame to hear of these plans to discontinue..
Popular Post Smallclub Posted February 5, 2015 Popular Post Posted February 5, 2015 Who cares? We want stubby cigars with a 56 rg that can be smoked in 30 minutes and which price could buy 5 or 6 petits coronas, don't we? 10
ebhead Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Well, this rightly sucks...figures, once I get into a vitola it's cancelled... E
Mr.T Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 That is very sad to hear. A very good and low on the radar kind of cigar. Will need to add these to the purchase list Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
riazp Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 CA reporting the news as well....looks like we lost a great one. Article basically confirms what i thought, the brand will stay alive with the regional program... http://www.cigaraficionado.com/webfeatures/show/id/Cuban-Quai-D-Orsay-Brand-Cut-Down-to-One-Size-17983
El Presidente Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Confirmed yesterday. I will put up the best I have later today. 1
AlohaStyle Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Interesting to me how long this official news took after this information/discussion came out July 2013. I clearly remember this thread because I bought extra LGC MdO #2's and QdO's after seeing this. lol http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=115452&hl=imperiales 1
bigfunkyg Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 That does suck. I just put these on my radar too. Not sure I want to tempt fate on buying a box I know is going disco especially with a crappy dollar right now.
ChanceSchmerr Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Garbage. A few years from now and the only Churchill size left will be the RyJ. Which I'm sure is exactly what the morons making these decisions want. Seriously, what's left in that size besides RyJ? Boli CG, Cohiba Esplendidos, Upmann Sir Winston. That's a Goddamn travesty. Getting really sick of this discontinuation bullspit, while on the other hand they churn out crap new releases that are shorter and fatter each time. Okay. Rant over. 3
Lotusguy Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 To be fair - when was the last time you bought a box of these? My first one ever was only a few months ago... Not exactly hot sellers these. 2
LGC Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Like I've said before... Discontinued=rare=popular 1
mgravito Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Wow this really bummed. I do buy these every chance I get. It's the first larger cigar I went deep on (well, my definition of deep anyway). It's such a nuanced smoke and I feel like this is going to leave a void. Is it possible that this is related to the difficulty growing larger wrapper due to the weather? If they're going to be thin on wrapper, why waste it on something that doesn't sell? Also, if it's going to be years before that wrapper becomes available for the imperiales again why not just axe it? Any way, not looking forward to the QDO 6.5"x56 regional....
Mr.T Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I'm a big fan of the Boli CG. Out of that list I wouldn't be surprised if that is next in the chopping block Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Smallclub Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Like I've said before... Discontinued=rare=popular =huge price raise for a cigar that no one was considering to buy 1 month sooner… 3
HarveyBoulevard Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 It will be fun to see how many and how fast they sell out tonight when Rob posts them on the 24:24. I have a few laying down but who knows, maybe I will have to grab another.
Bartolomeo Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I love them w age, have lots, will need to buy more I guess....very classy brand IMHO 1
CaptainQuintero Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I love them w age, have lots, will need to buy more I guess....very classy brand IMHO I agree, super classy brand. Maybe that's why it's being killed, classy and Cuban cigars are starting to be strange bedfellows. It seems to all be about big, loud and obnoxious cigars. None of the RE releases have been able to hold a candle to the Corona, Grand Corona, Panetela or Imperials in balance or reflection of what makes QDO unique in Cuba nevermind worldwide. I wonder how long the corona has to last. It cant be good business to have a $8 cigar that outclasses the latest $100 Cohiba Dongmaster 3000 4
fabes Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Garbage. A few years from now and the only Churchill size left will be the RyJ.

At least RyJ gives us four different "churchill" sizes to choose from!
