Almost gone...what's worth it?

[n-tron]

I've noticed that many of the cigars of the 2002 era cut list are beginning to disappear from well stocked vendors. For example, I've loaded up on the LGC Sabrosos and Punch Ninfas because I don't want to see them go. I missed out on the last of the Ramon Allones Coronas and am a little pissed. On the other hand, I've got quite a few Punch Black Prince that haven't been my cup of tea. Out of those 2002 era cuts by Habanos, which ones are worth buying before they are completely gone?

 

[The Prince]

Black Prince is an excellent choice. Bolivar Tubed Churchill's are also on that list. I am stocking up now on them.

Ra 898v... a must have if you don't want a repeat of RA coronas...

Punch petite Punch in 50 cab.. if you can find it.. if you do, buy 2 and I'll pay a 30% premuim in spotters fee *laughs*

I'm down to my last 3 of these. I wish I could find more as they are impossible to find (except in the UK).

Top two I would suggest:
1) RA Coronas
2) Punch Ninfas
.
TMK both can still be found, pricey though.

Punch Super Selection #2

Yes, definately will be sorely missed IMPO. Also Punch Monarcas A/T, Habanos only produced these in small numbers to start with when they resurected them around 1999/2000.

Multiple Lonsdales (cervantes) have been cut too, and will be missed - Cohiba, partagas, maybe others.

What Cohiba Lonsdale has been cut?

Oops, my bad! I meant Upmann not Cohiba. Sorry.

 

[Girardian]

The Upmann Lonsdales (as many Lonsdales) have draw issues, but when well rolled they are a great cigar, very impressive and underrated.

If you don't have a stockpile of RA898, then you aren't prepared.

Crap! I'm not prepared! That's a great one that completely slipped my mind.

I guess I missed the boat on the Petite Punch as well.

I did get the Punch Ninfas and Upmann Lonsdales. I also recently picked up a box of Quintero Medias Coronas Selectas...as best I know, the last of the handmade Quinteros.
