Which cigars should currently be on milk cartons?

[El Presidente]

Let's start with Partagas. 

Partagás Legado LE 2020

 Partagás Legado measures 6 1/8 inches by 48 ring gauge. He purportedly will hang out with 24 close mates. 

Carry on. Pics required 

[Bearcore]

Personally, I’m really looking forward to these. But sort of hoping they show up when prices calm down…


Although the Legado is more my preferred dimensions. Hopefully see them soon.

Can't remember the last time I saw any Partagas 8-9-8 Varnished.

[Chibearsv]

Haven’t seen a box with a slide latch available for quite a while.

What happened to Cohiba Novedosos, did they ever make it out into the wild? I don’t recall seeing any pics of anyone scoring a box.

[Bearcore]

They are out there, but in VERY small numbers. I don’t believe any have reached official sales channels. But I could be wrong.

I’d like to add Don Candido 510 to a carton lol

We’ll, it’s official…

 

Not my personal pics, but they are legit. From a friend in my discord group.

Yes, RAG are around.

A couple boxes of MdO4 popped up here a few months ago (maybe 6) but I never saw them anywhere else. Impossible to find at the moment.

898 has been very tough to find the last 6-12 mos.

HUSW same--6 months at least and it wasn't many boxes.

Siglo V 25s and Lanceros--always rare. Novedosos, may be out there but I've yet to see any available. 

Monte Especial has been MIA most of the year.

RyJ Linea Oro is supposed to be coming...

Fundadores is coming up on 12 mos MIA.

Cuaba Salomon about a year.

PL Galanes hit 6 mos ago and then poof, gone. 

SP Beli has been MIA about a year. 

RGPC has been MIA a solid year. Starting to get worried it may not come back...

QdO Coronas haven't been around for awhile--6 mos at least, maybe 12.

A batch showed up about 6 months ago I think.

Edit: my box is AMP AGO 20

I knew some 20s were out there (I think from your review) but that review was in Feb, so we're coming up on 12 mos MIA. 

Especiales No. 2 however, like CCE, are plentiful as usual.

That one's been MIA maybe always. 

Although if you ask Edward Sahakian he might give you a 500, but it could be a 510. He's got a few of one of them he calls a Churchill.

A lot of these are readily available at LCDH’s. Usually not for a palatable price (Cheers to Rob for continuing to offer rare boxes at fair pricing) but they’re around. 

[gustavehenne]

I’ve been unable to find the Punch Double Coronas anywhere for some time either online or in a B&M….

Other than that, the usual suspects - Trinidad Fundadores, Siglo V, Upmann Sir Winston, El Rey del Mundo La Reina

Maybe at LCDHs that don't sell or ship worldwide, but things like SW, 898 and MdO4 people pay premiums for. Those cigars are flat out unavailable at even inflated prices. It happens every 6-12 mos with some cigars.

Punch DC is available. Been so for a few months, same as RAG. 

And I didn't know ERDM La Reina was a usual suspect! I guess Punch ManTua is MIA as well...lol. 

[Edicion]

Seen 898s (didn't see the year) and Punch DCs (2020). Picked up a few sticks of the Punch DC for the hols

Interesting. I've been glued to my screen and didn't see them at all nor at any B&Ms. Thanks for replenishing my hope

HUPC. Because I love the PC size and love HU. I wasn't buying when they were in regular production. Assuming I will never get to smoke one.

wth was that micro-release in Summer?

RGPC bought 3 boxes of UBM17's from a vendor. Have 4 boxes, vendor now has none. 

SP Beli- got a full box RAT20 from a trade with a member here for a disco'd box of HUPC. 

Both of these are M.I.A. 

Surprised nobody mentioned the HDM Des Dieux. Never had them, but lots of folks here missing them like an old girlfriend.

Lots of folks started hoarding these when the disco notice was posted. There were plenty around prior to discontinuation, and here they were being offered for sale even after the disco announcement.

Those were cut in 2014. From MIA to casualty. Same with MdO2. Both very much missed.

Been a few like that. Once or twice on 24:24, nowhere else, and never comes back. MdO4, SP Beli, Monte Especial, 898, Fundy. Especially odd with the RGPC and SP Beli--not particularly popular cigars or ones that I can remember being MIA for this long. Obviously the others tend to go through their typical gyrations.

That SP Belicoso is such a unique flavor profile it would be criminal to axe it permanently. Wish I had tried that one years ago. The salt, cream and wood is very distinctive.
