Smoker's abbey claims to have some "original blend" 2024 Bishops blend.

Yeah, the original blend is being re-released this year. The one they did for 23 was supposedly for their 10th anniversary. My guess is that they didn’t see the sales they usually do and figured they better fix it.

I've enjoyed the Bishop's Blends, but the 2023 was the first one that I didn't feel needed to sit for a couple of years. It also ended up being my wife's favorite, so I have boxes of them piled up

I think that the same cigar, released under a different name, would have great success as a regular production. Those of us that have been smoking their stuff for awhile though pick up something called Bishops Blend and we expect a specific thing. I’ll never understand why cigar companies change a cigar and try to carry it off of an existing name. If you change the cigar, change the name.

Well, they did tack on Novemdiales to the name Bishops Blend to differentiate the change and changed the color of the band.

Rdp77 · July 25

True, but if they changed the band and called it Cardinals Blend we probably would have enjoyed it more

We'll have to pontificate on it.

Orthodox > Bishops Blend

Rdp77 · July 25

Super deluxe > both

Two things can be true.

Did I miss Bltc coffin nails? I went on there site to look up a blend and they have coffin nails listed as a core line. I also did a quick internet search I see them listed but not available at a couple places.

Somebody asked me about them a couple weeks ago. Sent an email and never have gotten a response. I don’t have a clue.
