I'm almost skeered to ask after the Pueblo and 'new' Padilla threads.....but, here goes anyway.....
I see a whole bunch of corojo Vigilantes up for bid. Bands look remarkably similar to the ones sold as RP about 4 years ago. Cbid must have pushed a few thousand in span of 6 months to a year. IIRC, maddies were pretty good deal at less than 2 bucks per. Seems corojos were not quite as good, but smoothed a bit after some nap time. Soooooo.....the ones up for auction now don't mention RP. What's the story on these?
What, if any, relation to the previous Vigilantes?
-Same batch, but recently 'rediscovered' in a corner of a warehouse?
-Completely unrelated, but either there are leftover bands somewhere or someone had the bright money-saving idea of saving cash on one-time art charges for new bands, so recycling name/band? (I won't make the cynical charge of leveraging an old moderately successful name for a totally new, unrelated cigar.)
-New batch, but tobacco somehow similar or related to previous blends?
-RP involved? Not at all..or, a little bit.....or, he is, but his name has some negative connotation lately, so lets not mention it? or.....
