I'm really tempted to get a few and see if they have gone to hell or just been forgotten. I guess when the NC industry seems to be largely driven by "What's New?!" Good cigars fall away just based on sheer volume of brands.

What are some other brands that you guys haven't seen in a while or used to love but haven't had in a long time?
Thank you for reminding me about Curivari, I need to go grab some now...

about every stick they made. No draw to wrappers blowing up. Haven't touched one since although I really liked what they were doing.

Viaje seems to have fallen off the radar, they were doing some really good stuff and I still have some sticks from about 5 years ago.
The Satori line was one I really liked.
Just had a Last Rites the other night and it was crazy how plugged it was. An absolutely amazing cigar, but the draw was quite literally making my mouth feel fatigued.
