Favorite sumatra wrapper?

Hey guys. I havent been on in quite some time. I just havent had the time, i've been busy, but its good to be back. I agree with all of you who said that everyone including the Ccom staff is doing a good job with the forums in reference to keeping the trash off of the forums. Kudos to all for that. I know that there are many expereinced smokers on here, and I look to you all for some help now. Thank you in advance for your replies. I would like to know what your favorite sumatra wrapped cigar(s) is/are that are available here on Ccom. I am a fan of this wrapper, and I am planning in a few weeks to put together a decent order. I will include some maduros and connecticuts, and I know I will have a Verdadero in there too, as I like the unique flavor of that stick, but I really dont know too many smokes that use the sumatra, and I know that many of you probably have had some good ones. I have had the House cuban label, and really for the price its quite good, but I'm not sure what other sumatras they offer without going through the whole list, and plus I value your opinions. Thanks again guys!

Cmon guys----no love for the R.P. Edge Sumatra????

Man dude that cigar f'd me up.... was tasty though.

I'd recommend the RP Renaissance. If my memory serves me correctly, the Ren is the old RP Vintage '92 blend only wrapped in a Sumatra wrapper. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

According to RP himself...it's actually the Edge Sumatra...just renamed.

The Vintage 92 is an Ecuadorian Sumatra if I remember correctly.

One of my favs is the Cubao with a sumatra oscuro wrap. Oh so complex.

I'm curious, I recognize most have talked about the Sol Cubano Sumatra a long time ago, but I'm stil a huge fan. Unfortunately, I can;t seem to find them anywhere. Anyone know if any cigar shop in the US or canada, that can still get these?

It was discontinued some time ago. Why that is, I'll never know as it is/was a fantastic smoke.

RP Vintage 1992s... still my favorite cigar I've had and it wasn't even aged.

Seconded...I wish I would have bought a pallet when I had the chance

How's this for a hit and run? I don't know what got into me (that's a lie, it's Schlitz and lots of them)

Anyway, was just browsing through, and this caught my eye (then I see my name come up, and I've got to get in on the action)

Looks like y'all could use a little help here

The Ecuadorian Sumatra (best of all wrapper leaves, IMHO) can be found on the following cigars (among others):

RP Vin 92
Punch
Playboy (by Altadis)
RP Sun Grown
Fuente Sun Grown
ccom Cuban Label (just had one tonight, aged a full year... amazing)
Trinidad
Ashton VSG
Cohiba XV
HdM Dark Sumatra
Punch Rare Corojo (ironically)
La Herencia Cubana (original)
Oliva Special S
La Flor Dominicana (several lines.. they use it on almost everything)
RP Decade
Punch Uppercut
Cubao
.... and the greatest sleeper pick in the world (if a big brand could possibly be considered a sleeper):
La Gloria Cubana

All this on a quick filter of the infamous spreadsheet

Sorry about the drive-by. Things have been crazy-busy here, but I'm having fun and am essentially the same person you saw here moons ago. Y'all have crossed my mind more times than any respectable man would admit, but I sincerely hope you're doing well. I can't stay for long, and on my last drop-in I loved reading that Sniper thread. That looked like a lot of fun. Looks like a lot of great new people around these parts. I'm off to the beach for a week. Take care everybody, and just maybe I'll pop in again someday.

FYI - the Graycliff and SC Sumatra (wonderful cigar) were both proper Indonesian Sumatra cigars, along with RyJ, El Rey del Mundo, LFD Coronado, 5Vegas Classic, H. Upmann, and the old blend of the Graycliff Purple Label.

FWIW, my favorite on the above list is the RP Decade. At a more reasonable price point, it'd be the LGC or the RP92 (before they muffed up the blend and slapped on these new black bands).

Well kiss my grits... Duty...How the hell you been? Drop by again on your return from the beach bro.

heh, no. The '92 has a Sumatra wrapper normally. The Renaissance is supposedly the Edge Sumatra since they stopped making that one, but there is this whole drama where Rocky told Kreig it was a new blend.

Hey Duty.. It has been a long time friend.. For all you new guys, Joe is one of the best brothers you will ever meet here. Stop by longer next time, I hope all is well with you and the family.
