Well we all have our own opinions. 54 ring cigars do nothing for me. Robustos at 50 are more than plenty big enough. 42 rings are my sweet spot. I agree with you and fixed my post...should make sense now.

jschrader510 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I guess let's just hope some of these turn out like the Fonseca #1 and others where they are officially discontinued but remain in production for some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In France it's hard to find it outside major cities. It gets terrible reviews year after year in the french "cigar press" (reduced today to one magazine). I have yet to meet a cigar lover who keeps it in his rotation… I'm starting to think that PCC gets the cream of the du Prince's production. If not, well… I guess we're encountering a psychological phenomenon … we get the best of everything clubby ...that's one thing you might have known Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through a 10 year old box of H.Upmann Petit Coronas last year (which I split with a few other Aussie BOTL's), I promise you, it was one of the best boxes of cigars, for the value, I have ever smoked. What a sad day! On a positive note, at least those Bolivar Tubo No. 1's will be available in today's 24:24. Grab them while you can! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzopyrene Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Im still waiting for the mag 51, 53, 55, ad 57 we should see in the near future, plus the mag 60 we are bound to see with the next h upmann el.... no room for a petit corona obviously ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangolf18 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I guess they are positioning their portfolio for the US market? The only cigar on that list that I'm sad to see go is the HUPC. Perhaps the BCG as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Many, many dubious deletions, but seriously HUPCs? WTF are they thinking? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MahDooRow Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Very sad to see some superb vitolas on the deletions list. HUPC? Really? I never would have guessed that the HUPC was in danger of being deleted. Same goes for the BCG. The VRDA and the RyJ CdL #1 I understand, but I certainly don't like it. Will need to buy at least a box of each before they become hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topdiesel Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Prez, I would like to say how grateful I am that you shared this information. Even if the list ends up having inaccuracies, it is nice to have the heads-up to stock up on favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Ever hopeful that some of these will continue "unofficially" like the Fonseca No 1--particularly the BCG, HdP and the one that's downright shocking: the HUPC. I mean, they really cut the HUPC before the 4 tubos that are very much inferior to the PC? And the Majestics/Regalias/Epicures? Huh? HSA just really has it out for 42 RG. So we're down to three Coronas: Monte 3, RyJ Cedros No 2 and QdO. And with the coming expansion in the QdO lineup who knows how long those Coronas last. And will they have the cojones to cut the Monte 3--once the world's best selling Cuban cigar? There are now more Lonsdales than Coronas left (Siglo V, 898, RyJ Caz & Cedros 1, Monte 1). 7 hours ago, PigFish said: Tabacuba used to represent brands as best they could, I do believe that they have given up on them. There will be brand fights over those not owned by an HSA partner in the US someday. I hope they lose them all. And this is good precedent. They are not representing the brands that they stole, they are abandoning them, and the classic cigars that made the brands great brands. Couldn't have said it better.

jwr0201 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Maybe HSA will come up with a Mag 42 or 43 corona to replace the HUPC. I'd go for that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shhh! Don't tell HSA that. I suppose it's time to stock up on other lesser talked about favorites before they end up on lists like these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuelsmithbeer Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I say keep buying the unpopular vitolas/brands , probably won't help but at least I can try. They really cut the Bolivar lineup with this. How long until it's a one or two cigar brand? I understand it's about making money but I'm done with regional cigars. The last few years have all been out of my price range. The price of this year's Diplomaticos compared to the PCC releases of even 3-5 years ago is evident that they are pricing themselves out of my market. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuelsmithbeer Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Another thought and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Smoking a discontinued cigar that you know you'll never be able to buy again is just a different experience than smoking a easy to get, regular production cigar. I wouldn't say it's for the better either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthson Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Good God Damn! HUPC, RyJPC and Trini Reyes? Are they trying to throw 50-60% of my cigar budget to the Fuentes??? I sincerely hope these are deletions a la Fonseca no 1. For real, I love PCs. This makes me unhappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthson Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Maybe all is not lost - they list the Reyes as a 25 box. Maybe there are other, more significant typos in that list??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLC Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I was in Havana twice last fall and among other thing brought back a 50 cab of Punch Punch and RASS each time.

UpInSmoak Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 It's odd that they would go on an amazing Du Prince run right before announcing its deletion. Honestly, what the hell? I sampled the first Prince from a newly acquired box (probably 5 days after shipment) It was one of the best cigars I've had in awhile. Interesting move? And even worse.... One of my top cigars and always on rotation. HUPC....SO SAD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is scared. I'm telling you--the Monte 1 & 3 should be starting to sweat. And you're right--the MdO 2 might as well be gone. If it's not, it's pretty clear it's got one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. If your RG is 42, HSA is coming for you, and coming hard.
