I am sorry, but I didn't see your cigar. However, I wasn't looking for it either. There is a chance they might have it. They have the biggest humidor in GA (www.thecigarsuperstore.com).
I think i mat have had my first bad stick from rocky...hopefully it was just a bad one. It was a Autumn Harvest Robsto. Prelight draw was good and it lit well. The first 1/2" was great, earthy and cedary with a noticable amount of spice. Then the burn got bad on one side and stayed bad no matter how many times i touhed it up. The flavor had a slight ammonia twinge that lasted(might just need to be layed down for a few months or so) and the flavor got a harsh edge to it. About half way down the spice got almost overpoweringly peppery and lasted until i set it down. Anyone else have a bad or good time with this one?

Thats the one in Marrieta right? I think they are the biggest Humidor in the southeast. i have been trying to get there but haven't had the chance to yet.
Had a Olde World Maduro last night and i gave a RP Conneticut to my friend. The OWM was off the charts in my book. Smooth and flavorful and just a touch bolder than the 92. The wrapper kind seperated about 1/2 way down but with a little tlc that was fixed. My buddy loved the conneticut and it was his first RP. I think he's converted. If you like Maduro try the OWM, amazing!

Yes, that is the one in Marietta right off of Sandy Plains and Hwy 5. I was just there yesterday actually. I bought:
RP Vintage 99 (never had one)
Macanduo Maduro (great cigar)
Macanudo Hyde Park
Acid Kuba Kuba
Drew Estates Java (never had one before)
kuzi- Although true that these are made by Drew Estates they are produced exclusively for Rocky Patel...one of the reasons that it's taking Steve Saka,Pres,DrewEstates so long to get me the replacement boxes for the two "bitter boxes". This is stated on the bottom of all Java boxes and any comments are requested to be directed to Drew Estates OR Rocky Patel.com. Of course being produced for Rocky Patel is not the same as produced by Rocky Patel so I can see your point.

That kinda makes sense to me because the other day when I bought it, I asked the guy where was the Rocky Patel Javas were, and he directed me the Drew Estates, which I thought was kinda wierd...but oh well, I just bought one, I never had an infused cigar, so I don't know if I will like it....but at least I like coffee, and chocolate...so that's a good start!
So since so many of the posters here like Rocky Patel so much, last weekend for my birthday I decided to try one. Only one of the shops in town was open and they only had 1 kind available, an Edge Maduro.
I have to assume that there was something seriously wrong with that cigar, because it was by a very large margin the worst smoke I've ever had. The best way I can describe it is 'rancid'. I can't believe that a brand that gets such good reviews and that so many of you like could possibly be anything like that. I'm determined to give RP another shot in the future.
Just so nobody feels too bad for my birthday experience, I had the foresight to also get one of my favorite sticks.
Jeez bob i think you got a bad stick. I've had Edge Maduro and Edge Corojo and bothe were excellent. I like the Corojo better, the Maduro tends to run kinda edgy(sorry for the pun). Give the Corojo a shot, its a bit milder but still full bodied, smooth and flavorful, in my opinion.
You had to have gotten a bad stick waffle. However, the Edge has progressively gotten worse. Originally it was a kick ass stick with tons of flavor but the blend has slowly changed over the years and isn't near as good as it once was. If you can find one pick up an Edge Sumatra(the label is red). This is by far the best Edge.
