Bad news, and good-er news, sorta.

The Corona Gorda size, when available, was being outsold to the Robusto by 4:1. This means, the Corona Gorda size is out, and when the decision to make a gorda (6x60) size, it got bumped. They are HTF, and Silo is calling around to see what's out there, even if it doesn't come from them.

Gooder news: They have 3 boxes (20/box) & 5 singles of the churchill size, and 7 torps. We can get all of them for 5.50/stick + free shipping if we want to switch vitola.

Keep in mind, this doesn't mean these things aren't produced anymore, or that even the Corona Gorda won't be available again.

Ok, let's hear what you guys want to do.

I'm fine with churchills. I'm fine with waiting until we find a reliable corona gorda source, as well. The slight extra length and width makes me no bother. Not crazy about that giant gorda size or the torpedo.

Not sure how $5.50 a stick is good-er news, though, when we can order churchills from them for $5.40 each. Maybe the free shipping kicker allows us to pay $0.10 more per cigar?

fuck. I was looking at Chaveta MSRP while talking to him. I'm not interested in the Gorda size either, but it's up to you guys in the end.
