Cigars/Carbonell Cigars

Question
Can you tell me the current status of the Carbonell Cigar Company? When (if ever) will these cigars be available again? The Carbonell Corona's were my favorite cigar and I can't get any!
Jim,
I checked the Retail Tobacco Dealers Association Almanac, and the Carbonell does not show up at all. It aparently is off the market completely. We never carried that brand, so I don't know who made it or what was in it. I wish I could offer you an alternative, but I just don't know anything about the brand. Sorry I can't be of some help.

Expertise
I'm a fourth generation cigar maker and have spent 25+ years operating our factory as well as a mail order cigar company. I belong to cigar manufacturers associations as well as retail cigar associations so I'm usually up to date with current events relating to cigars. I've smoked the majority of brands on the market and would be happy to share my opinions of them with you. Since I live in the U.S. I have very little experience with Cuban cigars, but other than that I know a least a little bit about almost every brand of cigars on the market.
Experience
In addition to growing up in and now managing our cigar factory for 25+ years, I've spent time in many factories in Honduras, Nicaragua, The Dominican Republic and Mexico. BR>
