Popular Post Bijan Posted January 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2021 This is a look at the deletions in thin gauge cigars over the years. I'm going to go by decade. And I'll have a separate post for medium gauge and thick gauge cigar deletions. I am going by Cuban Cigar Website. And not doing any filtering based on brands that were discontinued entirely, etc. As we can see discontinuing cigars didn't just happen with the foreign investment in Cuban Cigars it happened decades before that (and as we know there were many more brands before the revolution). 174 deletions in total as follows: Nothing cancelled through 1969 according to their website. For the 1970s (36 deletions): Cigar Name Vitola de Salida Factory Name Vitola de Galera Size Ring x mm Shape Common Name Image Relative Scale Bolívar - Value Brand Coronas Largas pre-1960 - Discontinued mid-1970s Unknown 39 x 160 (6¼″) Panetela Especiales (1) pre-1960 - Discontinued mid-1970s Unknown 39 x 125 (4⅞″) Short Panetela Palmitas pre-1960 - Discontinued mid-1970s Unknown 29 x 135 (5⅜″) Small Panetela Caney - Discontinued Brand Banquet Fino 1970s - Discontinued 1977 Vegueritos 36 x 127 (5″) Short Panetela Canapé 1970s - Discontinued 1977 Chicos 29 x 106 (4⅛″) Cigarillo Delgados 1970s - Discontinued 1977 Unknown 35 x 130 (5⅛″) Short Panetela Royal Palms 1970s - Discontinued 1977 Culebras (straight) 39 x 146 (5¾″) Panetela Vegueros 1970s - Discontinued 1977 Preferidos 38 x 127 (5″) Short Panetela El Rey del Mundo - Other Brand Epicures pre-1960 - Discontinued 1970s Unknown 29 x 130 (5⅛″) Small Panetela Gispert - Discontinued Brand Miniatures pre-1960 - Discontinued 1970s Entreactos 30 x 100 (3⅞″) Small Panetela Palmitas pre-1960 - Discontinued 1970s Palmitas 32 x 152 (6″) Slim Panetela Panetelas pre-1960 - Discontinued 1970s Placeras 34 x 125 (4⅞″) Small Panetela Velas pre-1960 - Discontinued 1970s Panetelas 34 x 117 (4⅝″) Small Panetela H.

IanMcLean68 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Nice work putting these lists together @Bijan! It is rather sad seeing how many great skinny cigars have gone the way of the dodo. I suspect that the list of medium gauge deletions will be no less depressing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PigFish Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 ... I have nothing good to say about Tabacuba. For once I will not share my negativity! -Piggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPS Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Great work with all this analysis. It's surely sad to see so many of these gone but if people actually purchased and smoked these cigars they would still be making them. Hopefully I have enough until they become popular again.
