    You must not live in California, i cant find the Decade in any shop for under 18....Thank you Comrade Schwarzenegger....
    I would think he'd be for cigars, the guy only smokes them all the time..

    I live in California, but I bought and smoked the Decade on a trip in Vegas. I might poke around a few B&M's here locally and in San Diego and see if I can find a place to get Decades at a decent price.

    Gotta love the 49% tax out here. Anyone have any luck with aging any of the Rocky's? Had my first Edge last night. Big time taste, very robust, really reminded me of a Gurkha....not to spark that fire or anything....

    Ahhh this is my kinda thread. Its been a little while since I've had a RP actually. But the Nicarao and Nording are two of my favorites.

    i am diggin on the nording. my local shop sells em. ive had some burn issues with them but the flavor makes it worth while.


    like i said before, i think that i like honduran tobacco more than nicaraguan, therefore i tend buy cigars that have that profile (gurkha) where RP tends to go more for nicaraguan tobacco. something doesnt sit right with me and most nicaraguan tobacco.

    Speaking of Rocky and Honduran, ever had the REO? It's pretty good and really fits the characteristics of honduran, even though it has a bit of Nic filler

    Finally scored a good deal on some Olde World Reserves, Maduro Torpedo. I got em online(for those following my previous posts i given up on buying in california:) Great Smoke! Even burn, very good draw, only a slight amount of drag to it. An earthy, creamy smoke, i almost could swear you could chew on the smoke, kinda like a vintage 92 if you've hade em. Medium body and that good rocky smoothness. I have yet to be disappointed by one of his cigars. Speaking of which has anyone had an ass rocket from him?

    I've always had good smokes from Rocky! The Decade and the 92 are my favorites. I'm going to pick up some of the Edge Sumatra Wednesday and possibly a few of the Renaissance if they have them in at my favorite shop. I've never tried either one but I'm ready to give them a shot.

    I cant find the Edge Sumatra, but i do have and have tried the Corojo. It's smooth, nutty and packs a helluva punch.

    Look for the new Rocky Patel Renaissance it is the same thing as the RP Edge Sumatra.

    I just went to the 10th Anniversary of a cigar shop here in Atlanta and was able to meet Mr. Patel. He is a very nice guy and down to earth. He even gave me a Rocky Patel magazine and autographed it for me and also gave me a Rocky Patel Renaissance (new cigar released in Sept. 2008) box, which is really cool. It is a gorgous box. I also decided to try the new cigar. The cigar is great. Very even burn, light to medium gray ash, medium bodied, spicey with a medium finish. I loved this cigar. I smoked it all the way down to the nub. If you have a chance to get one, I highly recommend it. They only make 6,000 boxes of this cigar a year. (120,000 cigars)
