FYI, the Torano family sold out the entire operation to a huge cigar conglomerate. From what I've been told, it was layoffs, business shutdown, and handing over the recipes and trademarks to said huge conglomerate.
Huge conglomerates are known for corner-cutting and making "optimizations" to save money. So just be aware that the blends may or may not remain the same as they were before.
