Is La Riqueza done?

Doctorossi · 08-24-2020, 10:07 AM

I can't find any concrete info about the status of the La Riqueza brand, but from my exploration of online retailers, it sure looks like it's a goner.

Does anyone have any definitive word or a batphone to Pete Johnson?

Thank you, sir! Good find.

Unfortunately, it does answer my questions, well enough.

It looks like Pete really wants to imitate Habanos--eliminate great smokes from regular production.... :-(

Those first ricky's were something else, I think they spiked them with really high quality tobacco or something. distinct black cherry notes that I never got in any of the later releases

Yes, La Riqueza is gone. They just didn't sell enough to justify making them anymore. I loved the El Triunfador (red label) lanceros.

You can still get the lancero in the lancero sampler box. Same with Triunfador and Casita Criollo.
