Question:

The article says that Habanos SA doesn't want to name the form of cigars that will be taken off the market so that special interest doesn't develop. Then the list starts of the various cigars that will be coming off. Many of them denote what form they are. What am I missing?

[Matt R]

Plain and simple......marketing. These guys are not stupid. By putting out this list they get people to buy the cigars because they will be "collectibles". In a few years they will re-release some of the sizes and call 'em limited editions or something. LMAO I know I've thought about stocking up on some of them...thought..not actually acted on this thought.

Wow that is some list! :0 Disapear for a couple weeks and look what the hell happens. I am glad I still have a couple half boxes of some of those on the list!
