Blends or brands that went away (and you miss)...

Cubao Maduro...my #1 maduro. Also 601 Black Label...damnit E&O

Always miss the old Oliva "Bold" O's with the blue bands. No idea why they disco'd that blend.

Also, smoking an El Rey del los Habanos corona right now that is fantastic, shame they disco's these too.

@StogieFisher sent me some donkey droppings made by viaje I think, one of the best smokes I've had. Soon as I smoked them I immediately tried searching for some to buy... Only to find out they were done

"Donkey droppings"??

"Donkey droppings"??

"Donkey droppings"??

Oh that's the actual name of the sticks???
Even better!
I thought you were saying it jokingly like "dog rockets".

Lots of really great cigars back when I first started smoking in 2005-2009. I really miss the Padilla that were blended by Pepin. Also some of the older Tats were incredible. Not that Petes new stuff isn't great.

I am with you on the Padilla 1932's made by Pepin. Smoked my last one about 3 months ago and it was an incredibly good cigar.

ELO Sumatra !

Cubao Maduro...my #1 maduro. Also 601 Black Label...damnit E&O

I enjoyed both of the Cubao. Have just over a box of the naturals left, but only 3 maduros. I also agree with you on the 601 black. I sure wish Espinosa would re-release it, but only if he stuck with the original Pepin blend.

I tried several CAO sticks back in 2010/11 but just couldn't get into them. I tried a couple of Italias and Brazil's, and they both had this flavour that I can only describe as "eggy".

I tried them around the same time, and except for the LX2 didn't care for them either, but lately, I've been picking up a few 10 pack samplers at auction for dirt cheep, and am enjoying most of them. Oh, and a month or so ago, I stumbled across LX2 10 packs going for $12. You better believe I snagged a few.

Ah, yes, the Jesus Fuego exclusive made for Famous. I smoked my share of them, and yes, they where very good. Strange, weird martial arts label, but good cigar.

Oh yes the capoeira was a hidden gem. Another one I miss is the Alec Bradley SCR

It's still around, but the original branding is not. The band and box are a different design but the cigar still exists in the same blend made by Fuego. It's now called the judge.

Suerdiecke (Brazilian company). I started on these things over 40 years ago, and miss them just for sentimental reasons.

Funny you mention the AB SCR....that was the first box I ever purchased.

When I heard they were being discontinued I picked up a couple of boxes.

The original JJ Maduro. Those were great. The La Reloba Mexicano was nice, too.
