I think it's the next generation of cigar smokers. Look at the 30 somethings, they grew up with cell phones, computers, high tech cars and constantly on the go. I totally believe it's in the marketing. Look at a Pete Johnson (Tat) or ACID adds in the magazines. They are geared to the younger smokers who want the newest, best cigars on the market. Just like with cars, as a kid you want flash and speed (something new each year). As you grow you settle down and thing change. Flashy is replaced with dependability and speed is replaced with comfort. I know my taste have evolved in the short time I have been smoking cigars. I have come to like the "old school" makers for delivering a great stick year after year. Who is to say the next Tat (just an example) is going to out shine last years release. I know an AF 858 Maduro is going to be a cigar I can buy in any B&M and it will be the same quality. I think thinks will change back as this next generation settles down an realizes how good things really are. Just my 2 cents worth.
