Trevor2118 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Has anyone heard about the reasons behind this closure?? CigarCyclopedia.com closed on January 31, 2011. Many thanks to our readers for their years of support.
JY0 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I saw that a few days ago. Their pricing info could be helpful, but they also listed sources that were known to sell fakes along with legit sources.

Those lists are no loss....but I wonder what happens to Rick Perelman's Pocket Cyclopedias? ....or Rick Perelman himself?
El Presidente Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I must live in a hole. I have never heard of it
CanuckSARTech Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Not much of a Twitter guy, but looks like Rich Perelman gave a bit of a head's up as to the closure of the webpage, although no reasons for the closure.... http://twitter.com/cigarcyclopedia Years back, I used to check out their webpage a bit, but then I too got frustrated with the listing of known-fakes dealers. I started using another great little webpage, maybe you've heard of it Trevor....
laficion Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I was very disappointed to see this site closed simply because of lack of funds. It was one of those rare sites that, every day, gave out so much info on all those NC's, that I would have thought that the big NC guys would have given them their support. Not only did they give the info about those pepper sticks, but were quite well informed on what was going on in the world of Habanos and other tobacco countries. For years on the site, I found that they posted loads of articles on unexpected sujects and treated it very professionally. It's truly a shame that a site like CigarCyclopedia.com , with all they have contributed to the cigar world and community, that no one is there when times are hard, It's a real cruel world where objective information has become a rare commodity. .
JY0 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 They listed well known sellers of counterfeit cuban cigars in their top 10 list....every single week. Why would they do this?
JY0 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 $$$? I'm sure that's why. To me it eliminates all of their credibility.
Ryan Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Rich posted on the site a few weeks ago that he had lost a sponsor or something to that effect. He said he would try to keep the site, with existing content, up as long as possible. It's a real loss, he had some great articles on there.
warren516 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I found this the other day, then went to the web page to see if it was worth the 3.99 for the android download. Seeing that the web page is closed, I don't know if this app is still supported. It's from http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applica...j_download.html
