I have been on and off with these for so long it seems like this is the first cigar I ever smoked. People talk about the quality slipping on them at times and the wrapper not being as oily and they are underfilled and blah, blah, blah.
I still find them to be a consistently medium to full cigar with a ton of earthy cocoa and tobacco flavor to them. They don't always look top notch often bordering on ragedy looking. This one I'm smoking now has been sitting for about a year and half and it's better than I remember them ever being. Maybe RP was rushing them to market based on demand but I'll submit that if you give them time they are still the same smoke many consider their "go to" cigar.
Lit like a champ and poured clouds of smoke the whole time. Built in flavor and strength all the way through with very little compelxity but that wasn't what I was looking for. Just a very good medium-full maduro cigar that gave me just what I expected for about $4. What could be wrong with that?

My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
