Why are vendors out of Cubao?

One of my favorite smokes. I may be wrong but my understanding is that they have been discontinued as E&O has been broken up or the distribution has been taken over by someone else. If my feeble mind serves me right I seem to remember that Rocky Patel has taken a controlling interest in EO.

IIRC, RP bought 50% of EO a couple of years ago from Eric Espinosa and Eddie Ortega

Eddie has sold off his 1/2 to Eric and Eddie launched his own line of cigars

I hadn't heard that the Cubao was being discontinued...that would be a shame since it's a great stick
