I bought the last carton of Saratoga Menthol Cigarettes that my local smoke shop had last week and that store is the only that I can find that sells them in my area. The clerk told me when she tried to reorder, she received a message that they were discontinued.
Please tell me this is an error, as they are the only cigarettes that I like. If they are discontinued, please bring them back.
I would buy them online but I do not know what is a scam or what is a legitimate site. I do not care about getting discounts or cheaper taxes, I just want by brand of cigarettes.
PLEASE BRING THEM BACK111 WORK BETTER THEN PILLS got me thru my mom's death and the loss of 3 loving pets without losing my mind!
YES INDEED! I have been smoking Saratoga Menthol since 1984 and there is no other cigarette I can smoke. They soothe me and comfort me through all my stresses and I have heard of so many Saratoga Menthol smokers, like you Terry, who say the same thing. There is no smoother cigarette with just the right flavor anywhere on the market. My non-smoking husband has always said he cannot even smell them on my breathe and other non-smokers don't even know I smoke unless they actually see me smoking. That, too, is a HUGE PLUS for me. After trying so many other alternatives, I have traveled great distances to get these wherever I could find them, in the past 10 years, because all retailers around me (except 2 in a 40 mile radius) stopped carrying them. Phillip Morris ... You have customers that discovered this amazing cigarette many years ago and are loyal to ONLY THIS CIGARETTE. Never before, nor since, have you produced a sexier, more accommodating, luxury cigarette for the woman smoker. But on that note, every man that ever bummed a cigarette off me, liked them too, had never seen them and asked where could they get them. Difficulty in finding these cigarettes has buried them out of the sight of people who would love them just upon trying them. PLEASE BRING THEM BACK! To discontinue them is just so disheartening and discouraging for many ... and actually devastating to me.
I can get Saratoga full flavor but not menthol.
Where?
I AM DEVASTATED that Saratoga Menthol cigarettes have been discontinued. Enough to just feel angry about it. PHILLIP MORRIS ... YOU ARE REALLY MESSING UP ON THIS ONE! I have smoked Saratoga Menthol since 1984 and would never accept nor could stand another cigarette. My husband is and always has been a non-smoker with no tolerance for smokers, but he accepted my smoking because he could not taste it or smell it on me. But when I have tried to supplement my supply with another cigarette brand, he feels disgusted and can't stand it and doesn't want to come near me. Smokers TODAY, especially women smokers, are willing to pay for the truly soothing luxury and quality that this cigarette has always provided them. They have even helped keep me physically and emotionally level and balanced through menopause, without any use of supplements or pills. You have many loyal customers for this cigarette but you have kept it as the "best-kept secret" in luxury menthol for the past 25-30 years by not running ANY promotions on it. IT IS A TRAVESTY, and complete ignorance to what a smoker in today's world really wants from a cigarette, to think that discontinuing them is any kind of a smart move. For the past 8-9 years, I have consistently and loyally traveled as much as 40 miles to find any retailer that has even heard of Saratoga Menthol, and yet, it is the BEST menthol cigarette you have EVER produced. Call me crazy, but I am about to travel 540 miles to get the last carton of Saratoga Menthol that another retailer has and can ever get. Even men that have bummed a cigarette from me have liked them and wanted them, regardless that they are 120s, but they were not made easily accessible for anyone because you would not promote them. I'm sorry to have to say this but ...STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! For discontinuing the absolute best product you ever made. I just don't even want to smoke anymore because to have to accept any other cigarette just tastes too nasty to enjoy and makes me smell repulsive to others around me who do not smoke. It's NOT WORTH IT!
I agree with the above! I called PM and logged a request/complaint. Sad and trying to find 2 cartons to get me to a quit date!
I feel the same way i had to change brands and i am coughing like i dont know what ...i never had a cough smoking saratoga menthols PLEASE DONT DISCONTINUE THIS BRAND like others have said this is a smooth menthol doesnt choke you and i have been smoking them since 82 ... i really hope you bring them back
I echo all of the above. I would willingly order my Saratoga Menthols by the case if I had to! and my wife, a life-long non-smoker, would pay for them. They are smooth for me and not offensive to her - I've tried easily a dozen other brands and my throat is scratchier and I think I am actually smoking more! PLEASE if there is any way they can be brought back, do it! and know that you have a loyal following for this cigarette!
I agree with all above. Since I have had to buy a different cigarette I cough all the time. With the Saratoga Mentols I did not. Please, please bring them back. I am like another commenter I will buy them from te factory by the case if I have to.
I live in Tucson Arizona. I was introduced to Saratoga 120 Browns by my best friend and we both have been buying them from the Tobacco Barn in Tucson for over 20 years. I was told by an employee at the Tabbaco Barn today that they have discontinued Saratoga 120 Cigarettes. Please bring them back I Smoke the regular Full Flavored, but it would be nice for the Company to bring them both back for sale. Sincerely A Saratoga Customer TY
First covid. Now the whole west coast is burning and today I TOO was told by my “dealer” that Saratoga’s have indeed been discontinued. Why god WHY? I’ve been smoking them since 1984! I plan on inundating Phillip Morris’s inbox but I don’t have high hopes. The only upside is knowing I’m not alone in this life changing tragedy. I’ve taken comfort in reading all your posts
Could Phillip Morris make enough cartons to give us dedicated Saratoga smokers a chance to stock up before finally discontinuing them?
Anyone find anything comparable to our beloved Saratoga's i miss them so much and agree they never made me cough although I did smoke the non menthol any suggestions welcome
Anyone find anything comparable to our beloved Saratoga i am so sad and frustrated and agree that I never coughed when smoking them
I tried my best to find Saratoga Menthol here in Taiwan in the past 10 years but in vain. I was about to ask my friends in the States to get me some. You are telling me it is discontinued? Are you serious?
Is Phillip Morris going to bring back Saratoga Menthol cigarettes and why were they discontinued to start with ?
Why were Saratoga Menthol cigarettes discontinued ? Are they going to be brought back and when ?
I was sick to hear that Saratoga 120s were discontinued. Now I smoke Virginia Slims 120s (Gold Box) but they make me cough and Saratoga's never did. I'm so sad. I haven't had Saratoga in probably about a year now.
I stopped finding Saratoga 120’s over a year ago. They were the only cigarettes I smoked. I promised myself I would definitely quit if I couldn’t get them anymore. To no avail…After trying different brands, I have found one that is comparable. Dunhill Black Fine-cut. Next best thing, in my opinion! Of course there’s only one place I can get them & right now they’re on back order.
I just signed a petition against the ban of menthol tabbaco altogether! I my self use to smoke Saratoga's, then I switched to menthols. If I had known that Saratoga had made menthol s ide still been smoking them. BUT I don't know where to have gotten them anyway! Anyway, if you all want your favorite cigg back find the patition and hurry and sign it! That your best chance of getting your brand back into the stores! Good luck.
This menthol ban has my daughter pretty nervous, she's a very devout Newport 100's smoker. She's relegated to using menthol capsules if this ban really happens. But this administration has become so lame, I like to think it's no longer on the scope.
Saratoga 120's were discontinued in 2018 due to declining market share. The same thing happened with Max 120's in 2010. And the 120's phenomenon that started in the 1980's has been slowly fading. Good luck with finding substitutes! I recommend Virginia Slims Gold 120's or Misty Blue 120's.
Amazing that such a huge corporation, thanks mostly to the incredible popularity of Marlboro over the decades refuses to even reconsider the discontinuation of Saratoga. Nice attitude, huh?
This proposed menthol ban has my daughter pretty nervous, she's a very devoted Newport 100's smoker. But she's relegated to going with menthol capsules if it really happens. But since this administration has become so lame, I think it's a dead stick. For now, anyways.
Just wanted to give an update that I found 5 packs of Saratoga 120’s in Idywild, CA. My friends mom used to smoke them and was sad when they discontinued. So I pick them all up.
They're at least five years old now, certainly no longer smokable. But they'll make excellent souvenirs of a time gone by.
What did your mother switch to?
Nope smoked a few already and they’re not bad! My friends mom went to Misty’s but hates them. I’d recommend Dunhill white or black fine cut as a substitute.
Greeb Was a lifelong Saratoga smoker. He was approximately 5‘4“ and weighed well over 240 pounds. He had an ulcer that exploded into big red chunks. He would often claim Dan rag with running a boiler room in between taking drags of his Saratoga cigarette and stinking up the phone room.
