I would think so too, as the vintage line would indicate. '90, '92, '98, some of my favorites by the way Ubino. Try 'em ....I also read an article that Kaizad Hansotia started in the cigar industry in 1989, but before that was in the coffee, tea and tobacco trade in India. re: Cigar. Com magazine March 2008 pg.20.

Thanks, guys. Things like this remind me of just how big the cigar world is. I mean, I wasn't a connoisseur 10 yrs. ago and I didn't read industry mags (and still don't), but I did visit a LOT of different smoke shops in quite a few places, and just never saw either of these brands -- brands that are major, important names in cigars.

The amount of variety available to us is really incredible. Lucky us.

I'm almost positive Gurkha was around 10 years ago but was still a boutique brand and wasn't carried in heavy quantities then. Rocky Patel's lines WERE NOT around 10 years ago, back then he only sold Indian Tabac cigars. The vintage lines are tobacco he bought from a defunct General Cigar line. They had abandoned the project years before and RP picked up some well aged tobacco at a reasonable price and thus launched his RP line and more or less abandoned ITC.

i just said earlier today that i learn something from this forum every day. today this is it.

Me too man. There is a lot more to the story but I figured that was a good enough synopsis. Did you also know Rocky pays Indian motorcycles royalties to use the name Indian Tabac?

Thanks for the update, maddy.

Thanks for the correct info, Maduro, thats why I always throw the (...I think ) disclaimer in there. I stand corrected

Maduro is the encyclopedia of cigar info, Is all this stuff commited to memory or the ability to search the 'net at super human speeds ? Your right Kuzi you can learn something every day.
