Still feeling the need to smoke a RP. Go with these and save yourself some green.

Way ahead of you. I ordered the Liga A Petit Torpedo yesterday.

Wow there doesn't seem to be much love for RP. In my unofficial, unscientific poll i am seing maybe one in 10 that have favorable things to say about his cigars......, will that spoil the waters for him eventually?

The only RP cigar that I REALLY like (Ill smoke an occasional Edge or 1990) is the Sun Grown. I don't know what it is about that stick, but I really do love it!

There may not be a lot of love on BOTL for RP, but there are a lot of people that swear by his stuff outside of the forums. He makes cigars for the regular smoker and puts a lot of advertising behind it, which does well for him. I think you will find for the most part on BOTL that people usually tend to spend their money elsewhere.

I get together every friday eve with a gang of cigars smokers. It varies between 10 to 30 and they all or most feel thst RP hasjumped the shark and so does the guy that works at the local tobacco shop, so i am thinking it maybe more wide spread. I used to love his stuff in the indian tobac days and have a few of those cigars still floating around my humi and those are still good.

Didnt realize that they make an OWR maduro and corjo until looking thru inventory today. Per my sources OWR is discontinued as well. Honestly knowing the way Rocky blends and markets, they may be a very similar cigar in blend just packaged differently and sold at a higher margin.

Also try the RP Private Cellar that is fairly new to the shelves. It is fantastic, comparable to a Liga Privada No. 9 in my opinion, and better than OWR and Edge.

The RP OWR Corojo was on joecigar.com this morning. It'll probably come around again sometime in the early afternoon. 10 for 37.50 w/ free shipping. If you are interested at least the price point isn't insane.

You can also find them on the cigar auction sites a lot in 5 packs.

If you're not sure, absolutely don't buy a box. Buy fivers of each and smoke through those first.

Personally, I used to love both when I first started, but as my palate improved, the chalkiness of the smoke, combined with the dark stains left on my fingers, lips, and teeth, made me go in other directions. I then discovered there are a lot of better cigars for the same price, especially given the OWR's higher price point.

This is the best advice. We have all made that box buy only to find we regretted it. When I smoked RP "Years ago" I would have given it to the Edge but I truly don't care for either now and haven't smoked an RP in over two years. Try before you buy!
