What's up with 5 Vegas Miami?

I loved the pre-2014 Don Pepin Garcia versions, but never tried any of the new 2014 and later George Rico versions.  They are still listed on the 5 Vegas website, but CI doesn't list them on their "Big List Of Brands" page.  If you go to the broader 5 Vegas listing, the Miami is still listed, but when you click on the link, it shows all vitolas as "out of stock" and there's this ominous message:  "NOTE: We thought these were all gone, but during our yearly clean-out we found one last batch. Act fast and save BIG on one of the best 5 Vegas blends ever."  http://www.cigarsinternational.com/cigars/75241/5-vegas-miami/

I'm an admitted 5 Vegas whore (love most of their stuff other than some of the Limitadas), but I'd heard there was a pissing contest with Don Pepin Garcia which led to his bailing on the Miami line.  And while I like some of the Gran Habano/Rico family's stuff, they pale in comparison with the Garcia family's cigars IMHO.

Thoughts?
