damn. didn't know anything about this.

Doctorossi · 11-04-2010, 08:11 PM

Looks like somebody wants to own a brand or three of his own.

11-04-2010, 08:28 PM

Haha, I looked over at the signed Cain habano box and Cain F hat I have from this year and feel really lucky now

Sucks to hear, maybe he'll figure out some brands of his own

Sam will land on his feet!!!

Good luck Sam!!!

Interesting...it just so happens that nublive appears to be deactivated as well.

docdoty · 11-04-2010, 10:30 PM

I wonder what happened. He will def create his own brand

bscottskangum · 11-04-2010, 10:34 PM

I know that the article states that Oliva owns the Cain brand, but without Sam on board I wonder if they will go the way of the cloth bands

Why use cloth bands? It would have to add a higher cost and frankly, there's nothing gained in doing cloth bands.

Missed my point....the discontinued Oliva cloth band cigars...wondering if they will end up ceasing production without Sam a part of the company

Gotcha. I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

I wouldn't think they'd eliminate the Cains. Seems like the reviews have always been pretty good on them. Nubs maybe, but not the Cains.

That will never happen. Bigger and better things are on the horizon!

sikk50 · 11-04-2010, 10:40 PM

I thought they were already looking at eliminating the Cain line anyway?

I could be way off IIRC someone at a local b and m mentioned that.

11-04-2010, 11:23 PM

Good to know my precious Cain Maduros won't change

I wish my B&M had them when I bought the box of habanos at the Cain tour.

Am I reading this right? Oliva created this Studio Tobac to be a spinoff of sorts and the stage is set for Sam to "part ways" with Oliva, but the door appears to be wide open for his creations there. In other words, let's create a lot of buzz about what's going on for all the talk so we can announce his new position all while under the Oliva umbrella. Am I way out in left field with this?

Yes, your way out in left field, all by yourself, lol.

Just a conspiracy theory for the "free" PR that would come about as a result.
