Let's hope so, dispite what my research turned up - that it was discontinued and being replaced with something else (Gran Rerserva or somesuch - I am far too lazy to re-look it up again right now).

So I had a few hours spare before my flight on Thursday and so I thought I'd stroll over to "The World of Whiskys". I got talking to the very helpful chap running the shop and the subject of the Cigar Malt came up. He said that the it had been replaced because of the recent increase in "negative" connotations regarding cigars, shame that.

Any way he had the Gran Reserva and offered me some. My verdict:

It is rather similar, I'd probably say n balance 80% similar. It still have the tobacco after taste (reminds me of the smell of fresh "Black & Brown" [my pipe tobacco]). So if you are looking for a substitute I think this is about as far as you are going to get.
