So it happens often.  Cigars are made either in a limited edition or the business revamps...etc. etc.  But whatever the reason, there are no more to be had.  I can think of several that I just miss.....  None of them were expensive...But I miss them just the same.  (and coincidentally if you know anyone who has any of these...we need to talk...LOL) 

For me some that I miss:

Padillia Miami Edicion Limitada 2010 (Perfecto) - This was one smooth cigar, I grabbed them every chance I had.  Was definitely one of my favorite smokes. Coffee, chocolate, a little spice...I couldn't ask for more...I hear the current Miami just doesn't measure up...

Humo Jaguar  - I can't remember if it was Brian (nirab) or Stephen (sjn1117) who got me my first one, but boy I had a hankering for them soon after.  A Honduran festival winner and made me fall in love with the Honduran Leaf

Camacho Corojo (Old Blend) - Sometimes you just need to leave well enough alone.  The current Corojo is good...But it is not as good as the old blend.  And the Old Blend aged better than just about any cigar I knew of...  

Camacho SLR (Maduro and Natural) - Much like the Padillia Miami in their smoothness, But GREAT earthiness in the maduro, wonderful tobacco flavors in the Natural...

Damn I miss these sticks!!!  LOL

 

What sticks do you miss and why??? 

 

I thought I was wrong once....but I was mistaken....

I remember buying lots of these before they changed it up. I have a stash back in Canada that may hold some of those. My brother is coming for a golf trip on Sunday and I will ask him to check my stash and grab them if they are there. I do believe I also have the 10th Anniversary blend there as well, although I did not think it was as good as the corojo.

Perdomo ESV91 they are one of my favorite smoke that I can no longer get, They were always had a nice creamy smooth taste on light up with some coffee and a nutty flavor that I liked. I've not had one in years, like Pete if anyone has some I'd be interested in a few.   :biggrin:

I think it was Holt's who had a GREAT deal on these for at least a year after the new release.  I was not in the position to take advantage of it as much as I wanted....but I did get a few...Actually one of the new blends I really like and can't really find anymore is the "Blackout"  that was a tasty stick...

Both great smokes I can't seem to find any more.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

That cigar was excellent.  One of my favorites back in the late 2000's.


I'd rather have a cigar...

I will definitely second the Humo Jaguar that was a fine smoke.
Another was a budget stick I really liked was the "Varina Farms Winter Warmer Blend",I still have one left with about 4 years on it that I have been saving

I am pretty sure my local B&M still has Humo Jaguar's in stock and I think they have 1 or 2 of the Year of the Monkey as well

Me personally, I miss the EP Carillo Ediction Limitado 2012. One of the best I've smoked.

For those that liked the Humo Jaguar, this was an annual event cigar in there were at least 2 different years.  Plasencia blended one, Patel blended another one.  Which one is it that you liked best?

 Yep.....both brands.  I probably bought half a dozen boxes of the PH 681's and ran out about a year ago...very sad.  The Capo's were almost equally as good and I'd buy these off the auction sites from Famous....pricing was crazy and cheap and to date I still have about a dozen of the Capos...and even with that much rest on them they still are really good.

You know...It has been a while, but I do remember there was a difference...Whichever came first was the one I really liked...

I bought two five packs of the Viaje Zombie Farmer Bill The Hatchet.  I loved that cigar.  I gave away a five pack at a fundraiser lunch, and then gave one cigar to a friend.  I've enjoyed the other four immensely, and wish I had more.

And darn it.  Now that I'm posting this I'm opening other tabs looking for them.  Thanks a lot.

The Pepin Garcia-blended 5 Vegas Miami line and the original Pinar del Rio Oscuros would be on my list.

I think that the Judge by J. Fuego is the same blend as the Capoeira.  Some trademark dispute made them change the name.
