Guys,

Just noticed on the bombing thread, part of someones payload was a Rocky Patel cigar with a wrapper that looks like a barbers pole or the colour match on Ford cars over here.

So is it just RP that makes em and are they any good ?

(Newbie needs nc advice!)

They are called barber poles and are not rare, many makers had done them like the Fuente Between the Lines. Does not make for a good or bad cigar, it's mostly gymic IMO. Beware of the cheap barber poles though, they are usualy making a bad cigar look good.

it's called the split decision. had a double barber, a triple, and a quad.

i had a few of the quads. weird flavor to me, but i just have not been able to get into the candela wrapper- so it might just be because of that!

terrible cigars IMHO, the triple and quad just have the strip of wrapper over top of the other wrapper and when I smoked them it just peeled off by itself

I'm upgrading a used humidor and it will have a display area (hopefully :) ) and I thought one of these strripey beasts might look nice next to the jeroboams I've aquired.
