Tampa1257 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 The way I see it, is that the only way that the message will get back to Habanos S.A. is through the power of everyone's wallet. If people continue to buy these fat ring gauge cigars, and the sales figures for the thinner ring gauge cigars does not match or beat those of the big Fatty, then the message received by Habanos S.A. is that the consumers want the big Fatty. So, what this means to everyone that wants thin ring gauge cigars is to buy them, and buy them a LOT. When vendors get orders for the thin ring gauge cigars, and run out of stock, then they will be forced to reorder them, then the distributors send out their inventory and at a point, then they have to reorder from Habanos S.A. What is happening, is that the sales figures are over inflated for the big Fatty because consumers are buying the newest thing available, vendors are quickly running out of stock and re-ordering again from the distributor and the distributor is re-ordering from Habanos S.A. everyone is chasing the tail of the dog until the supply chain is filled. So all of you that are drooling over the new cigars coming out and just have to have to latest and newest thing are supporting the Big Fatty and down the road, just as I predicted a couple of years ago, the thin ring cigars are going to go by the side and soon enough we will see them disappear from the supply chain. All I can tell you, is if you love the thin ring gauge cigars like I do, you need to buy them now because they will be history soon because of the way you guys and gals are proving to Habanos S.A. that all you really want are the big Fatty cigars. Thin is In, Buy Thin ring gauge cigars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehrig24 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 » The way I see it, is that the only way that the message will get back to » Habanos S.A. is through the power of everyone's wallet. Tampa, Although I smoke all ring guages some of my favorites are small ring guage cigars. I only see one problem with your theory, Habonas S.A. is obviously in this to make a profit. If everyone starts smoking smaller ring cigars then there is a chance that some of the great buys that we all love on these sized cigars will go up in prize and where does that leave us? The days of the sub $200 box may just go away. Now it is a gamble that Habanos will continue to produce these types of cigars but I think a movement to not purchase large ring cigars could cost us more in the long run. Just my two cents.

Tampa1257 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 While I would never deign Habanos S.A. or a Retailer such as Rob a profit for the valuable product and service they provide, I have just found it personally alarming that the trends over the past few years have all been toward the larger ring cigars. Maybe my comments have not helped those that feel the same way that I do, but I feel certain that my heart is in the right place. Rob if there is a message or a way to communicate to others (if my ability to post and let others around the cigar community know) a better way to influence the powers to be at Habanos S.A. that there are still a considerable amount of Connoisseur Cigar smokers that truly appreciate cigars of a thinner ring, PLEASE let me know. If I can be of any assistance to you and your efforts, I am more than willing to back you 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
