Cornelius & Anthony possibly no more?

Just got off the horn with Paul at Small Batch.
Says communication with C&A has gone dead. They don't even have a rep to talk with.
Paul, and the rest of the shop, thinks C&D is in the process of being sold.
With fear in my voice I asked, "Is it General?". Not sure, he said.

This really sucks.

Anyone privy to more info they'd like to share?

The next time I go by the lounge I’ll see what they know. Enon has a good relationship with em and would probably know.

this has been known for almost 2 years now. They started shutting jobs down awhile ago

I have a nice qty left if you need any!

Glad I saw this. Need to stock up on Aerials before they're gone.

Again, this really sucks.

If Oveja Negra ever takes the count I'm done.

"...and reiterated that he had no intention of shutting the company down."

In my ventures playing the stock market when an owner, CEO or CFO uses the word 'reiterate' to convey positive news it is commonly the exact opposite.
This is not encouraging.

Yep been going the wrong way for quite a while. Sad really - they put out some good cigars!
