In the past year or so I've gotten back into cigars after just casually smoking my "usuals" for years now. As I made my way back into the world of cigars, I've found so many brands that never existed when I was into it in the 90s. The trend seems also that these brands put out new blends and limited editions all the time. Even the brands that did exist back when I was into it more are putting out different blends all the time.
My question is, with all these new releases and limited editions, how fast do they tend to sell out? I've seen Partagas 150s go for $100+ stick but I can understand that since they were originally released in the 90s and are scarce. However, when I think of something like Tatuaje's Pudgy Monster series, they were released last year but I was still able to get a box last month at the same price they were when they were released. Granted, that was only about 8-9 months after they were released, but when I think of "limited", I assume I don't have much time to make a purchase.
Do any special editions sell out so fast that you have to be quick to grab them before they are gone or skyrocket in price? Or can you usually wait 6-9 months and still be able to get them? Im sure this depends on the brand/release and how many sticks are being produced but I'm just curious since I see new releases announced practically every day.
