Sad indeed.

Its a vary sad day. It seems some of the sellers have also gone under. Economy and Taxes are killing them.

G G · 01-09-2011, 06:19 PM

Bad news.

?? sorry to be a doofus, but how can an information site be so effected?

688sonarmen · 01-09-2011, 06:22 PM

My guess is lack of sponsors and the site was based on a book, I was surprised to see that most of the information in the book was on the site. Glad I got my copy when I did, still very sad to see.

Does this make my copy of Perelman's Pocket Cyclopedia of Cigars 2009 a collectors item now? Will trade for sealed box of Padron 1926 Maduros No.2 or No.9, a backpack leaf blower (Echo or Stihl only), or drivetrain parts for a '76 Jeep CJ.

Ok, seriously, sorry to see it happen, it was a great source of up to the day information. Now, well, it's still there, but just an archive.

Depends, is it an "O.R"?

In all seriousness, there's really about 5 sites that you need to have in your back pocket at all times when you're searching for anything, whether it's NC or CC if you're looking for the best pricing/service.

Too bad!

Exactly.

BTcigars · 01-09-2011, 09:21 PM

This does just affect the site and not the book, right?!

That is what I heard earlier today.

md4958 · 01-10-2011, 06:22 AM

What a shame, that was a great site.

01-10-2011, 06:31 AM

That site is one of the hands that helped push me down the slope. Too bad.

smokinpeace · 01-10-2011, 08:36 AM

That is sad. It was a good site.

That very same thought crossed my mind when I read that part of the announcement too.

And I wouldn't put it past Craputo to actually do it. *sigh*
