Rare and discontinued ? That you smoke.

Both mine are Bolivar and still available if you're prepared to pay UK prices and they are the Gold Medal and the Lonsdale.

Good recommendations PJ .... I will possibly only smoke one of my GM though this year .... but I did forget to list my PSdC3 I smoke one or three of those per year.

Anyone else have their own discontinued smokin' faves?

That you smoke. This is the important bit. They must be cigars which you're prepared to light up once or twice a year, not just hoard.

Some of you may have noticed Simon and I commenting on the RyJ thread this morning and wondered what the hell are they going on about.

Discontinued doesn't mean BAD. Sadly and too frequently it is often the contrary. EMS examples of discontinued can still be picked up. Rare is when those examples become harder to find. Last week I posted a Punch Petit Punch in the 'What are you Smoking' Thread. That is an example of Discontinued passing into the realm of Rare.

I have 6 Punch Petit Punch left and am unlikely to smoke another this year. I will smoke some of my other discontinued simply because I like them and believe in an outside chance of getting more.

Trinidad Robusto T ? becoming rare
RyJ Petit Princess ? not yet rare
Punch Margaritas ? not yet rare
Diplomaticos No 5 ? rare
LGC MdO3 ? rare
