Guantanamera to be discontinued

[leftimatic]

I bet they taste better than a Pom Pom. Tried one when I was in my 20's. Never again.

send me your address! I'll send you five.

They're not as bad as most make them out to be! Decide for yourself!

 

...they also come in a pretty cool case...

The case changed recently I think? From the faux guitar to a faux wood grain?

They never changed (to my memory).

The 10ct is in a pretty solid, faux wood metal case.

The 20ct is in a pretty solid, white metal case.

Both cases are very good for carrying miscellaneous articles. Very well made, too.

I just came back from Havana and they are still making it. When says the rumor that it will be discontinued?

[finecigar]

I'd say a Guantanamera L.E. 2017 Maravillas No. 1 should be doable.

[TheLiquidGator]

Worse losses at sea.

[ElAbogado]

Never had one, and never heard good things about them either.

[Habana Mike]

Still looking for that RE

How about a Gran Reserva too?

You'd need to know the OP's SOH

[poloralf]

Sorry. I don't know what SOH means

[Habana Mike]

SOH: sense of humor

Thank You Mike here is my Guantanamera box freshly from Cuba. It costed me 1.2usd each cigar

It's somewhat ironic how the US version of this cigar sued Corporacion Habanos, S.A for trademark infringement when they brought out their (completely different style) cigar brand name a few years later. Ok, so the US version is hand made, the Cuban is machine made, but I would love, just love, these non-Cuban brands of iconic Cuban cigars (i.e. Cohiba, Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta etc.) to disappear instead.

I would agree that a 'gran reserva giant' would be a funny and memorable send-off.

When it comes to classic iconic Cuban brands I agree with you. Problem is, the US Guantanamera brand pre-dates the Cuban one by several years. The US brand was launched in 1997; Cuban Guantanamera in 2002. So, this is that rare case of the Cubans co-opting the NC brand, not the other way around as we are used to seeing.

And BTW, the US Guantanameras are damn good for an NC cigar. Cuban Guantanamera, not so much! I'd sue their asses just for making me smoke one.
