As much as I dislike many of the discontinuations and consider some of them short-sighted, I usually can find a perspective from which I can
understand the decision, if not appreciate it. The Robusto Ts, on the other hand, are so recent, have experienced such a warm critical reception and, as far as I can see, seemed to be selling at least reasonably well. Maybe they can't sustain the blend for whatever reason or my impression of their sales success is just wildly off, but I don't get it at all.
To my mind, if they wanted stronger results from this vitola, a better approach might been a 'Have you overlooked this gem?' ad campaign, rather than just killing them. It's a head-scratcher for me.
