Hiroshiro Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 A sad day for me and my fellow LGC aficionados. Talking to the LCDHs this morning and confirmed what I already knew...Por Que!? if only they made the 2 I would be happy. I might have to stock up on 2013s just in case Any other confirmations from other LCDHs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blakes Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I've heard this from several Casa's for years. Chill.... My thoughts exactly.. LGC seems to die every year when the previous years production starts to run dry only to pop up again the following year. I would be sad to see it go completely though.. I do enjoy the no.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiroshiro Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Problem is No one is buying them. I would be willing to Buy the 40 boxes sitting at some LCDHs if it meant that We would get more and bring back some favorites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be willing to Buy the 40 boxes sitting at some LCDHs if it meant that We would get more and bring back some favorites I like many others here are slowly smoking from our '02 boxe(s) and have planted the 2013's firmly into the back of the wine-odore to rest for a while. I think the slow maturation of LGC (a marque that typically takes plenty of time to mature) might be to blame for the slow sales. Your just not going to churn through them unlike something like PL Montecarlos. I'd like some Regionals make it into semi-regular production like they do with the #2/4.

I know this may be confidential but if not I would like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGC Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Most people never bought them until they were discontinued. Everyone buys them now when released in expensive jars and 10 ct boxes with double bands. There is no incentive for them to revitalize the brand. The same has happened with all the "normal" size cigars that I love... what everyone is now calling "skinny" cigars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallclub Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Rob, could you let us know how much (%) LGC represents in your sales? With zero LGC cigar listed at ****, it's easy to do the math… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louich Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 La Gloria Cubana. The brand that sells faster than... Fast fast fast when El prez post some for sale on the LFTW event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliverdst Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 With zero LGC cigar listed at ****, it's easy to do the math… What I know is when they appear in LFTW they disappear imediately. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogglor Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 What I know is when they appear in LFTW they disappear imediately. Thanks for your help. That's because Hiro has web crawlers that run this site every second looking for LGC - he's got the market cornered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and Sancho Panza...can we have a hipster revival for my favorite friend Sancho? Friends of Sancho Panza to the rescue. Most people never bought them until they were discontinued. Many implications in that statement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laxman Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Never tried any of the LGC line. Every time there is a LFTH or LFTW and Rob posts any LGC boxes they are gone in a second. LCDH should send all there boxes of LGC's to Czar and they would see the sales increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I went crazy for the no. 2's and bought 2 boxes, as well as the no. 4's when I found them. First of all, No. 4's are like smoking thin pieces of dynamite. I could not trade them away fast enough. Went through the first box of the 2's, in heaven. Been sparingly saving second box. But you know what? Last pair we smoked? We were so hyped up about them we were underwhelmed. We'll keep them of course but not on some kind of LGC pedestal.

I think both 2 and 4 are lovely, but if there is one cigar that needs time, I think this are... I have 97 No4, and they are awesome right now, I smoked one of my 12 and it was exactly as you said Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramon_cojones Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I've only had 10+ year old 3s I think they were, pure nutmeg. I need to try the 2 and 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakes Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I smoked a box of the number 3's over Christmas, Loved them. Only had a couple of the 1's but they were all great, and while I really enjoy the 4's a lot I think they axed the 2 best vitolas from the Medaille d'or line a few years back.
