No More Liga Privada?

[GeeRawkz]

Have heard numerous rumors about liga privada bring discontinued and the wrapper supposedly sold to Ashton. Has anyone else heard similar rumors?

I hope this is not true, but have heard it from several different people and on other forums as well.

Say it ain't so, JD!

If this were to be true (which I doubt) why waste time coming out with the papas fritas?

+1.

They have done a lot to expand recently. Nothing would make sense about them discontinuing it.

I would say this is funny but if someone actually takes this seriously we might have a few people jump off the roofs of buildings. Just saying.... I would totally blow off that rumor.

 

[sneak_a_cigar]

There are industry insiders on this site. Cigar makers, cigar writers, retailers, etc.

Not one of them seems to have breathed a word of this.

Doesn't sound too plausible to me either and I'm nobody.

 

[BrandonP]

We have heard nothing of this from either DE or our reps. I would say false at this point.

Also, there have been recent releases of #9 and T52.

I posted this on another board where this rumor came up as well. I think someone started a rumor and it's probably circulating. No way it's true.

Consider that DE exists to make money. Then consider that there's no way it would make financial sense for a company that exists to make money to sell just one component (in this case, the wrapper) of it's best-selling cigar, when selling that one component would prevent production of said best-selling cigar. Finally, consider that even if they priced it high enough that it did make financial sense for DE, the price would be so high that it wouldn't make financial sense for Ashton to buy it.

Even if the farmers growing the tobacco decided to sell future crops to Ashton, they'd still be obligated to provide DE with the crops already under contract, which I presume would run into 2014, which means there would still be future releases to come.

Amen.

Not even the slightest chance of this being real. Liga Privada sells out of probably every sku every single month.

 

[GeeRawkz]

Lilninjabuddy I think I read your response on that other board as well and was hoping to get a bit more confirmation that this horrific rumor can be put to rest. Glad to see we are all in agreement.

I probably would have been one of those individuals jumping off the roof or emptying my bank account to stock up for the apocalypse

 

[thatrev]

The guy selling his undercrown flying Pigs for $550 on eBay would sure like this to be true :tongueout

 

[ZachF88]

$550?!?!? And to think, I sold them to BOTL members at cost.... Lol!

Either way, I don't think this rumor is true. Even though, the ACID line is the biggest seller for DE. It's even 3rd best selling brand in the cigar world!

Maybe I should not smoke a T52 tonight until JD or Saka chimes in....

 

[smokinghole]

It's true. Now stop looking around for Liga Privadas and move onto another cigar.:eyepoke:

 

[FragmagnetEOD]

it's true. Now stop looking around for liga privadas and move onto another cigar.:eyepoke:

That's right. Everything you read on the Internet is true.

 

[thatrev]

This thread is my entertainment for the night!

 

[Cigar Cowboy]

This is like wiping before you poop....it don't make no sense.

 

[Jonathan Drew]

Hahahahahahaha. It's true. Ahahahahahah. I can't stop laughing. It's my dads birthday and I'm with Cesar Gadea from Padron, his wife and Son, Little Cesar. We all love this. It's totally true. Ahahahahahaha.

I love it. We sold it all to Ashton for a very reasonable price. As a matter of fact, we sold them the whole company as well. Hahahahahahaha. Saka pressured me to sell them the whole enchilada for $65 and a bag of bananas. Ripe ones.

Hahahahahahaha.


















I love you guys. Don't let them fuck with the Movement. Peace to all you guys 100%.
