hebbe72 Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Is it just me not paying attention but I fail to find this gourgeous cigar just about anywhere. At least I haven't seen it on 24:24 for some time now.
NSXCIGAR Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 I believe it's been at least a few weeks since I've seen the 898 on the 24:24 but recent production is available from vendors. I've seen JUN 15 and MAY 16 floating around, so no shortage I'm aware of.
El Presidente Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 MIA since about March. I have had no shipments since that time. If MAY 16 is around then there is some hope we may yet see some.

I make a point of looking it up on any cigar merchant's website I hit, and specifically asking after it in any B&M. To date, I have had luck twice. There is still some old stuff floating about if one is patient enough...

hebbe72 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Posted October 8, 2016 It's fascitating to see how threads can go astray... Yes, I thought it was obvious that the post was about the Partagas ?

I lament the Cohiba Siglo V and La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No. 2 (as well as the Partagas 8-9-8).
Homer Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 I have box of LGC Md2 & RA 898 RE. I really would like to have box of Portages 898.

Yes, I thought it was obvious that the post was about the Partagas ? If something can go wrong, it will. While it was obvious for most of us you didn't clarify. No surprise it went there...
Smallclub Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 Back to topic: this Summer there were 1 or 2 (well known) vendors who got them about twice a month, and were cleaned within a few hours… 1
LordAnubis Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 Thank you smallclub for guiding this back on topic. 1
