General Cigar Discontinues Over 250 Items

 

General Cigar informed us this week of a major overhaul of their product selection that will take effect in 2014. In what is possibly the largest reduction ever to occur in the cigar industry, the company has discontinued more than 250 SKUs from their price list.

The changes range from the removal of less popular brands such as Lord Beaconsfield and Los Statos, to line reductions for major brands Cohiba, Hoyo de Monterrey, La Gloria Cubana, Macanudo, Partagas and Punch.
