Petit Punch on the way out?

Does this mean that Petit Punch will no longer be produced? I don't quite understand the format of the list.

Looks like it Dave although it does say at the top to be officially confirmed. Seems like the RG Lonsdale is being discontinued as well...not one of my fave brands but to do away with the cigar that all Lonsdale sized cigars are named after seems wrong ...like doing away with the RyJ Churchill

SP Belicosos.

Interesting to note that many of the smaller Vitolas and smaller brands are being phased out.Dissapointed to read about Sancho Panza, as the Belicosos is a nice mild smoke and was one of the first Pyramids i tried.
Another interesting point is that the Regionales are all larger RG, the average must be around 50RG, which would lead you to think that either Habanos are marketing the more expensive cigars to a wider audience or nobody is smoking the smaller RG cigars anymore.
The economic implications for Habanos is that they can sell less cigars by volume and generate more ROI.
On a more positive note, the R+J LE 2009 Duke should be an excellent smoke and i think there will be plenty of collectors looking to stick a box of those in the humi.
