The RP 2003 cameroons are pretty good but otherwise I'm not overly impressed with RPs

The old 1990 and 1992 were excellent but I also have a hard time warming up to his later cigars.
Also picked these up while I was out today....
Really looking forward to enjoying those Atabeys!
Tonight’s enjoyment on Amelia Island with Murray Hill Club and 2009 Knob Creek cask strength rye

No doubt. Curious if the 80th is worth twice the regular 1926. Haven’t tried that one.
This was as good as either I feel.

I don’t think so but it is a special treat.
I certainly wouldn’t by a box of them.
1926 #2 is one of my favorites
A couple other good ones recently. With Blantons Straight from the barrel and Gold

Finally had an hour to myself. Between the woman and the eldest daughter, been busy since Thanksgiving.
Tried the Oscar Leaf Sumatra based upon a comment in this thread. Very good and smooth. I’m of the opinion that the last third of a cigar is where it really tells you what it is. This one really became smooth.

I had this last night
Picked it up to see if it was comparable to the 1990.
Not quite that good but a decent cigar.

I like the vintage cigars but little else from RP.
That was was certainly decent.
I bought some vintage 1992s a few years ago. They wouldnt burn and tasted bad. Bad batch maybe.
Ive always had issues with tunneling, burning out, or falling apart on me with Rocky Patel cigars. The only ones I didn't have issues with were the Mexican San Andreas Prohibition cigars and the Gary Sheffield cigars. I really enjoyed those two and wanted to enjoy the others. Just don't want to risk wasting money on them anymore tho.
I was an avid cigar smoker for many years, but needed to give them up for health reasons. Damn shame! However, I always enjoyed my poor man's top premium stick, the Montecristo No 4 with a glass, or two, of cognac....

Working remotely has its benefits....enjoying a liga privada 52 is one of them.
After the first 1/3 it turned into a damn fine smoke

Leccia Tobacco. Sam Leccia is from the Pittsburgh area. He made tobacco labels from different colored wrapper leaves into Pittsburgh Penguin logos. Pretty creative and honestly, much more detailed than the shitty phone pic depicts.
Pro tip: place a hunk of that leaf it was wrapped in between your cheek and gum. There's some vitamin N in there for sure.
After I smoked this one I had to buy the rest of the last box they had in house 
Birthday is right around the corner. Time to get into "that" humidor... What to smoke?

Nice pick ups! You know what’s funny? I remember when folks thought the magnum line were horrible. Like wouldn’t wipe their dogs ass with one. How wrong they were!
Mail call today. Worst part of a opus is letting it rest and mature.
Very nice! From the dates I'd say the Prometheus and the Lost City are almost ready!
Agreed I’m thinking around a three month rest in my locker and it’ll be time to fire them up!
