Forum Blend

About around the time that I took my sabbatical from the forums there was talk of expanding the Forum Blend into a regular product and also making new blends yearly. What ever happened to this?

    I think the maduros got the ax immediately and then after a little while the sumatras died too. Bummer, I really like these and the experience was a blast! I've only got a couple left.

    I still have two of each left. Will have one of each by the end of summer and will save the last two until next summer.

    Good to know. I think that I only have one or two of each left, and it was a really fun process.

    Is this a computer technology or a manufacturer-end technology? Because if it's a computer-based issue, me and renny could probably help.

    The forum blend were some sticks which were in part put together by way of vote by members of this forum. There was a Maduro Blend and a Sumatra Blend. They were actually INCREDIBLE.

    You really should try one of them. The sumatra was great.

    Really hoping it comes back. I took part in the poll, but than went on hiatus and missed out on the actual product, so never got to try either one. Good news from Alex than is his post!

    I go back and forth. I usually smoke one back to back. SOmetimes I like the sumatra better and others I like the Maduro better.

    I thought that the maduro was a decent cigar, but I agree with the other people in this thread, the sumatra ROCKED!!

    I'd love to get my hands on some more, I hope that Alex doesn't change the blend. I've only got one sumatra and two maduros left from a trade a while back. I never got to buy any of the actual product either, but you can bet your buttocks I would have after the initial tasting.

    so since everyone seemed to really like them, what happened to them? Why are they not available anymore?

    There was a hold up at the factory for a while. Alex posted in the beginning of this thread. Looks like they may be available someday. I have one left of each.
