Sumatra/Renaissance

Vulchor

So a buddy of mine and I went to a B&M and they have the Renaissance (sp?). Weve all talked here about the stick vs the Edhe Sumatra and how Rocky gives a different answer each time......My question is, the Renaissance they sold have the Edge Sumatra band on the foot. Is this something new...or just the shop trying to play cigar tomfoolery?

Most def not the same cigar, tried both very recently. But still curious for any info about the Renaissance stick with the Edge Sumatra band on the foot........anyone else seen this? Really starting to feel like the B&M is f'in with me.-------------------BTW, Rocky saying the Ren. and the Edge Sumatra are the same is a damn lie. Ive smoke both back to back, and even tried both at the same time once. Sumatra is definately more mellow with creamy and cedar flavor while the Ren. has a slightly more bitter taste with a bit of black pepper in the final 2/3

Thanks Maddy. He has given 5 different answers to 5 of us who have asked about the Ren/Edge...and I see that continued with you. I think I agree they are similar, but CERTAINLY NOT the same stick at all. Which is the same for the 90 and and 92 obviously, because they were some of the best sticks I ever tried when they first came out. While I like his stuff well enough, I used to really love it. Seems he is "taking the path of the gurkha" more and more to me with each passing year. Kinda the negative when a non-cigar man decides to become a big name in cigars, IMHO.

Same with me jj and vulchor. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact the Jesus Fuego left him. Go check out some J. Fuego cigars they'll remind you of what RP used to be.

that is a good stick for my tastes though the corojo is better. rocky had better cigars in the past. i was never a super fan but as they slide from what they used to be i am even less of a fan now.

No that would have been well after he left. The Decade was probably his though.
