RP Observation

So i was thumbin thru my new ccom catalog and saw the RP 90's now have a black band vice the burgundy band. Anyone know anything about this? Age diffrence...blend...ran out of burgundy paper? Senor Svenson?

I noticed this a couple weeks ago actually...really caught me off guard. Did some digging around, and so far the conclusion is that they're slowly switching up the bands so as to differentiate between the '92 and '90 (if you recall, the '99 has a white label)

Noticed this about three months ago. Buddy sent me one, and it had black bands. Didn't really think much about it, same as I did when the Ruination bands were changed. Just a way to differentiate the two more easily to consumers?

I noticed this a few months ago when my local B&M got a new shipment in for 92's. To me, this only means that the maroon label 92's might end up a well aged, hard to find treat at some point.

Youre all on the right track. I talked to Rocky at a local event and asked him this question (of course he lied to me about another question, but thats not here or there) and he stated it was simply a way to differentiate the brands better and make each a little more unique------ no change in blend or anything of the like.

If I remember correctly I think RP lied to him about the RP Renn and Edge Sumatra not being the same cigar.

I do believe you're correct Krieg - I remember a conversation on here that had discussed this, and eventually linked to a video of Rocky touting the Rennaissance as the re-release of the Edge Sumatra.

I see that I recalled correctly.... Is it just me, or does Rocky seem kinda like a douche in that video?

That's the impression I get too...I also got the impression RP is kinda like the car salesman of the cigar industry...might have a few good sticks out there...but sells more crap sticks than I can count and not to mention I really don't believe anything he says now since this RP Renn and Edge Sumatra nonsense.
