I found the same link you did a few months ago and that was about it. When I had them and ran out, I checked here in San Antonio and no one carried them, one old shop feller said they had them in Houston and could order them. They were a little on the steep side for me and I never did. All this poor old country bumkin knows is "them was some mighty fine tasting stogies!"

That is somewhat common, a lot of big shots, movie stars or just people with money and want their own cigar brand.
Some actually make it like PLAYBOY (not too bad a cigar) or Sopranos which got picked up by the CAO brand, and some just fade away or end up on the $29.99/box clearance list.
Truth is the established 25, 50 or even 100+ year brands are generally there for a reason, consistant quality and established distributors and a loyal customer following.
