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.

Ouch!

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

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

Fresh with a chemical residue...

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.
