Yeah, there goes that brand. Start stocking up guys! Feel sorry for the workers having to go through this twice.

It's sad to say that it will be changed for the worse most likely

How good is this brand? Should I invest in a few boxes? If so, which? I looked at their lineup and its huge.

Note taken. I'll get a box. Anyone else? I'm looking for recommendations to spend my money on.

I think there are better cameroon wrapped cigars out there but none better that are this affordable. If I were to buy a box right now that would be my recommendation.

You're absolutely right that this merger may end his distribution contract.

I really hope this doesn't mess up Leccia's distribution, cause I really like the White.

This really bums me out as I love so many Torano blends and also jeopardizing Leccia tobacco ..... I'm on Facebook and Sam posted the link to half wheel and this is his comment ..... " Gang, I have a multitude of options, no need to be concerned at all whatsoever." This makes me happy and I'll need to load up on a few select sticks before General turns them to SH!T

The one constant in the world is all things change.

Have to wonder how much the possible Tobacco Legislation had to do with this. Like with Camacho before FireRob enlightened me I haven't gotten around to getting to any Torano or Leccia stuff (just talking here lol) but I know there are a lot of fans of both. Definitely sucks to see another company swallowed up by a big fish but in the grand scheme of things it may be a smart business move for them.

There's a truck ton of news as to why this may have happened, also it is rumored that Sam will likely sign with General now, not sure how to react, it is possible for him to still end up at Crowned Heads, but sources are sighting him signing with GC
