A bunch of useless crap
Published on September 6, 2006 By MasonM In Misc
I love cigars but often I don't have the time to smoke a full sized one. I've always kept a stash of small, very dark Rumrunner cigars . They're a very tasty rum flavored cigar from Indonesia and are a pretty nice quick smoke.

Today I stopped by my local cigar shop to pick up another small black wooden box of Rumrunners (the box is cool, skull and crossbones on the lid). They had a box of the larger ones but no small ones. I asked if they were expecting to get more in to the store in the next couple of days. The lady informed me that for some unknown reason Rumrunner had discontinued the small ones.

What??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

It's a pretty odd move on their part as I understand the small ones were their best seller. I just don't understand it. I really liked those little black cigars.

I was forced to settle for another small cigar, Dutch Delites made in Ireland of all places. Who makes cigars in Ireland? They aren't bad, but they aren't rum flavored and it just isn't the same.

I'm going to miss those little black cigars in the Jolly Roger box.

Yeah, I smoke imported cigars mostly. They're better than American ones. My favorites are Padrons from Nicaragua but at $8 each I don't amoke many of them.

Sorry to hear about this. 

I DO know the feeling of having a favorite product discontinued!!  Especially this past year,  must be something in the air!

Isn't Ireland the country where they love their whiskey?  I don't know if rum, and other fine liquors would be from there,  after all they would need a fine spirit to go with all the leprochaun stories!

Well, the Irish do enjoy a spot of spirits now and again. I think most Irish prefer a good ale or stout to whicksey but they do make some fine Irish whisky.

give em up they are bad for your health!   

So what you need to do is phone around to stockist countrywide and buy up what stock is left from all over the place! Have your own stock for as long as possible.

Believe it or not I've already started the process of hunting down as many boxes as are still available through several online tobacconists.
