Today is my birthday and for a long while, now, I've been saving the last known Fire by Indian Tabac just to smoke today. As far as I can find out, it was the last in captivity - and what a great smoke it was.
I won't begin to try to guess why Mr. Patel chose to discontinue them. Undoubtedly, it was a business decision although I can't envision flagging sales of that particular line. It was that good. Maybe he could no longer obtain the necessary tobaccos for that blend. Whatever, it's a loss to the cigar world.
I know most of you guys prefer the higher-powered stuff and maybe my palate still isn't advanced enough to appreciate all those super-macho smokes, but I thought the Fire was a great blend and I, for one, am sorry to see it go.

Happy Bday marty! as a fan of RP, I would have loved to been able to try one of these. Glad you enjoyed it!

Happy B-day! I was lucky and bought a box about two years ago. I knew they weren't going to make them anymore but I figured they'd still be around for a few years so when I sent out a bomb I'd always put one in. I had about 10 out of the box and gave the rest out. I wish I knew then what I know now. Great stick.

Happy Birthday! Not only did you get to enjoy a great cigar but the days weather in our area was fantastic; perfect for outdoor smoking!

Hey, Gypsy, remember - he's the one who said that, not me.
To answer your question, yesterday was my 74th birthday. Thanks for asking.
