Bid for a 5 pack of Rocky Patel Sun Grown Robusta cigars and received them today. Cigars were well packaged in cello wrap along with a sticker stating that the date of Manufacture was June 30, 2019! Yep, 17 months ago !!!  Am I being unreasonable in expecting my ordered cigars to be fresher than this? No need for me to age the sticks before smoking these, hard as a rock, cigars. |

Take a hint. No one has ordered those smokes in 17 months for a reason |

If the cello ain’t yellow let it mellow. |

WOW I suppose you'd be severely disappointed in my 15-20 year old sticks. |

CrystalRed likes his smokes like he likes his meth.
Fresh with a chemical residue... |

How are the RP Sungrown nowadays? I used to bid on a handful of RP stuff for an average cigar. Vintage 90, 92, Edge, Sungrown, SuperFurte I use to buy the Sungrowns back in 2007-2009 almost every week. Then they changed the wrapper to a real thin one. Every time I cut them they would crack at the top. I asked Rocky at an event if they changed the wrapper and he said they hadn't, that my cutter must be dull. Since I knew it wasn't my cutter I said F you and stopped buying anything made by Rocky. I just recently started bidding on some of the Sungrown Gordos because you could get them for under $2 a stick. They have been hit or miss. Out of every 10 there might be 2-3 that are partially plugged. Bought one of those PerfecDraw poker and it has already paid for itself. I sure wouldn't pay retail for any Rocky cigars, but for $2 a stick, I can live with it. |
