Do not, I repeat, do Not buy these cigars. I purchased a 10-pack in July I smoked one with a buddy, and these cigars will not burn the only flavor they had was of smoke, and wood with NO other flavors. I was told by Cigar Bid personnel to dry box them as they may be too wet. I followed their instructions and dry boxed them for a week and then stored them in the bottom of my humidor for 2 months I smoked another one today, Sept. 26, and they still do not burn, nor do they taste of anything other than smoke and wood. If you want a smoke that doesn't burn with no taste, try it, but be aware...I told you so.

Been here almost 10 years, and still buying RP cigars….

What were you expecting?
Something good?
Free tip alert….

Rocky Patel doesn’t make good cigars.

haven't bought any Rocky Patel cigars since the first couple of years on this journey. I liked the Vintage 1992 and Vintage 1990 until I found others I liked better at better prices. When I started posting here in the CBid forums, I noticed there wasn't much love for RP smokes, so I was never curious about the other lines. Then RP started pumping out more product, which rarely is a good sign. Over the years, I've been gifted a few, here and among cigar smoking friends...all ok but none inspired me to buy any.

I get RP and Perdomo confused sometimes 🥴
I don’t mind the RP Decade, and a few others but on the whole they disappoint. I have a bunch in my humi that are years old that I need to get rid of but for the most part I’m done with them.
Unless I can find that elusive Autumn Collection 2008😉😉

2009 Winter Blend was great.

I smoked one that was sorta decent a long time ago. Still probably have a few hidden somewhere. This is a reminder to find them and burn them up.
