Don't these people have any inventory control?
This reminds me- we're about due for someone to find a mother-lode of pre embargo tobacco in rollable condition.

Camacho bought all that up about 5 or 6 years ago with their "pre-embargo" cigar.
As far as inventory control, some of these may not exactly be cigars that were intended for release. They could be tester blends that partway through moving production to a full production there was a change on(think what Pete did with the Avions in 2013, changed his mind to a broadleaf wrapper and released what had already been made with the other wrapper as one of his side-projects, a la the Mexican Experiment). On the other hand, you can still lose some stuff, just like Altadis did last year when they found some RyJ ELs(released and sold out a few years ago, the ones with the red tubes) hidden away in their warehouse so they offered them for sale for about half off to retailers.
