I have had terrible cigars from more than just RP. If you have not tried this cigar give it a shot. If you like it, good on you. Post a review here. I have had a few very good RP cigars and this review is not about the whole line. Just one cigar.
What a shock, lollllll....................I hear hes got a new one coming out blended exclusively with Nish's arm hair, it will be a limited edition-----until their all bought up, then he'll make it with his own arm hair and deny there was a change in the process.
Joke aside Kas......I agree with a few points totally and that is that he REALLLLLLy kept me interested in the hobby for awhile and that he had sticks that were amazing.....Nording, Vintage, Old Worlde, Edge Sumatra----all fantastic. The problem with him to me is that the blends for each has changed. Deny it if you want Rocky, but if anyone is lucky enough to have some 90 & 92s or original Decades still around.....smoke them, then smoke the ones out today. If your making a different stick or limited edition----go right ahead, Petey J does it all the time. But to try and tell me they are the same blend, or that the Sumatra is now the Renaissance.......cmon Rock, Im not blind and my palate isnt retarded.
I think a persons opinion of Rocky may have more to do with WHEN you bought the RP's you have. If you have the OR decades, OR Vintage 90 92's, OR edge sumatras, etc in your humi then I guarantee you don't get what peoples issue is with Rocky. If you bought up your decades, vintage 90s, etc in the past year, then you probably can't figure why anyone would smoke anything with the name RP on it. Or maybe I just had bad luck with EVERY rp stick I've gotten in the past year & a half.
Na blurr. All the new stock sucks. Ok, I can't guarantee that but RP is almost on par with Gurkha to me now. I will not touch their line unless my whole house goes up in flames, I have only a RP cigar in my pocket, and I don't feel like walking 450 miles to Greg2648's house for a cigar. Walking sounds nicer.
RP has had me lower my head many times. They to me, are like gurkha. I like less from RP though. The vintage 1990, the 208 summer blend and the 2010 summer blend. That's it. I haven't tried much of their new stuff, I sort of stopped trying, as with gurkha. I think they extend themselves too much, though it's just my opinion.
