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.

I don't think the SP Beli is going anywhere. HSA loves Campanas and it's the only model left. I would love to see a SP add an Edmundos or Hermosos No. 2. The brand is really dying on the vine.

CoLas are for me - but I'm hoping with some persistence, one of these days I'll get lucky!

Just received a box of PL Galanes with a SOU ABR 21 code, so there was another batch made this year. Not sure why they're so scarce at the moment. 

I also just saw a box of Fundys hit a well-known European vendor at a fair price, so maybe that drought is over.

The only cigar I've seen that seems truly scarce to the point of being totally unavailable soon is the RGPC.  I was lucky enough to grab a second box in the Summertime, but it had a May 2017 box date; same box date as the last one I picked up 3 years ago.  I haven't seen anyone post a more recent vintage in any mail calls, so I am very curious as to when the last time these were actually rolled.  As far as MDO 4, Sir Winston, SP Beli, and Party 898 go, I've seen all of these available within the last few months. 

  Folks that aren't seeing them available anywhere are having this issue because when vendors re-stock, it goes FAST.  Someone makes a post in Reddit...and 10 minutes later....Sold out again.  There's also alot more competition for some of these cigars than there used to be.  Alot of newcomers to Habanos who are out trying to add some of these rare scores to their collections.  They don't have the luxury of a more abundant & diverse selection that was available pre-pandemic, so they're very aggressive in checking sites for re-stocks daily, and they're willing to deal with even the most absurdly-priced vendors to acquire stuff like Sir Winnie if they get a chance. 

 

Actually....The Siglo V cabs too...like someone mentioned above.  I really don't ever see these available.  And Piramides Extra in 10 count boxes.  I rarely see these as well.

Very true. I saw one site that had Sir Winnie's "on sale" for $1200, and those didn't last long. Other absurdly priced stuff (25 CoRo's for $1000, for instance) haven't lasted long either.

I'm guilty of checking for re-stocks almost daily myself, but at this point I'm down to about 1 box I'm really looking for - and it's one I shoulda snapped up last summer when they were around (BRC's).

Supply of even some of the bread and butter Cuban's seems to be drying up, unfortunately. Monte 2's are getting harder to find, and more expensive when they do show up (this site actually seems to be doing the best with those as far as supply goes), Epi 2's are usually just in Tubos/much more expensive, PSD4's are a ghost now (thanks CA), the whole RyJ Churchill line is tough to find, etc.

Unfortunately, the Non Plus went out of production in late 2019/early 2020.  Small batches from 2018-19 were popping up at vendors every so often as recently as this past Spring, so if you have a watchful eye, you may get lucky if another case makes it out into the wild.  Sad, because the Non-Plus is an extremely distinct & unique cigar from the rest of the Habanos catalog, and the SP Belicosos are the only remaining vitola, and they're very hard to get most of the time.

Ahh thank you, will keep an eye out for them!
