I'd rather they did something skinnier, but I'd take any traditional size regular-production addition to the Punch line any day of the week. I'm sure it would sell well if it was a good blend.

Did you taste the leaf?

Punch Double Corona

… better cigars?

I've experienced that, too (not with the Superiores, but with a RAG)!

I always get cream of mushroom soup from a Fuente Double Chateau.

I like your thinking, though I have a hard time imagining they can afford the effort to make new products if they can't afford it to revise existing ones.

Hmm... I'm not convinced that fancy new point-of-sale displays will make much difference for the retailer, but I guess they'll have space for them with all the newly-limited stock and facings.

What do you propose they do?

No way! I decide.

Why don't you try a couple singles first?

Cohiba is the least interesting to me.

This just fires up my resentment. VR Clasicos were on my top 10 list until they were discontinued. I actually have some 2007s left, but not a jar-worth. I don't know what this is selling for, but I'm not buying it.

Do the chickpeas do anything other than take up space in the bag? I would think it wouldn't be too hard to find something that better matches the color of the coffee if they're just looking for filler.

I'll always give a cigar a second chance, but if I'm really unhappy with the first impression, the second chance will drop far down my priority list and it may be a long time before I reconsider that stick.
