Deletions for 2017

[groundhog]

So which, if any, are you going to miss?
I don't think I'm bothered about any of them to be honest.
How do they make the decisions? Is it by leaf availability? Or is it because they're not selling?
Or is it because they have a shit tonne they want to get rid of and are hoping people will panic buy?

Already a post up on it actually, http://www.ukcigarforums.com/showthr...deletions-2017

The bolivar is a shocker, love those.

But you're keeping abreast of it

But you're keeping abreast of it

I see what you did there

[sheppsea]

I had actually seen these before; the only big shocker for me was the Boli CG

I think they want to 'streamline' the catalogue and choose to discontinue by look at the least profitable ones marcas and those where there are potential alternative options will buy instead

[WDave40]

Boli CG - always been a vitola I've been interested in. I've picked up a single with the intention of grabbing a box or two though

[mcdee]

What ever you do, get a box! You won't regret it.

As our illustrious member Martyn said, most of these are deleted in certain formats only i.e. 50 cabs of BCG. The 25 boxes should still be available for now. Of course they are in the Julietta No2 format, which is gradually being phased out to general lack of interest so if you fancy some buy up now. I have 10yrs supply for myself in the Boli Cave 2002. 2007 & 2008. In fact after a lean period I fancy one next week.

The boli CG has gone @Simon Bolivar. The 50 cab was discontinued years ago, the 25boxes are now going, prices have risen already from what I can see. Some suppliers who only sell recent stock have already run out as far as I can see, while they will of course be available for a while in the expensive markets, UK and lesser extent europe, who knows hopefully it will end up like the fonseca no 1, 'discontinued' but still produced.... oh Cuba

My apologies, of course I knew the cabs had gone, so now the 25boxes too. Sad news indeed. Well buy now before they become collectors items.

Indeed. I often wonder why not bring these out in 10 cabs to appeal to a wider market, a 25box of churchills is quite a big investment.

Indeed it is Shaun, I thinkbI nentioned this before as well. I was hoping to pick up a few x10 boxes in Habana last Jan but only found them in Petit Ed's. Seems they are amongst the deletions.
PS Martyn's point of course was a good one, most of those nentioned intially are not disappearing completely ... yet.
