Impromptu Cigars

[Demuths1770]

if a company states they are gonna make a limited run of xxx,xxx of sticks and rolls over that im sure they keep them stored somewhere. even when a company stops producing a line if they do it right away they have alot of back inventory left. I know of one company that when the discontinue a line they dont even send out the stock they have at the warehouse. its discontinued the day they say and they have stock left over. Some reps where discuss this at a event i was at. that company one time rebanded left over stock and sold it as a limited run since they had age on them. its not even far fetched to think that they may have liked a blend in the beginning and rolled x amount of stick and didnt like them and figured they would stop production and let them rest some and never revisted it and cadwell found them as a "lost" cigar.

ehhh... hey I'm not disagreeing, I'm just saying that it seems like a stretch. To produce too many of something and then just let them sit forever in your warehouse until some random guy walks in and asks to buy them... ?

Doesn't seem like a good business plan.

im sure the rollers and owners and such are dipping into inventory like that to smoke as well. why would you throw away good cigars? on limited runs only so many bands and boxes are mad so what do you do with overstock of the sticks? put it back for smoking stock and maybe another limited release down the road

I wanted to try these but honestly I am getting tired of hunting down limited edition gimmick cigars. At first the hunt is fun and if you find some it feels really nice to add them to your collection. But then you watch the same people buy them all up and hoard them and turn around and rip their brothers off by gouging them. I never say anything because if someone is willing to be taken advantage of it is their money to spend how they see fit. It just gets frustrating and I just avoid dealing with those individuals. For those of you that snagged some enjoy. Hope they live up to the hype!
