Quoted: Have Rockys really gotten that bad? I used to smoke them a lot, especially their autumn blends. IDK...I cannot fucking keep up with the amount of shit RP pumps out  It used to be, if it was a RP, you had about an 80% it would be a very tasty smoke...nowadays, that might be closer to 50%, partly because they make an incredible amount of blends near budget prices. That said, the original Edge Maduros will always hold a special place in my heart and anytime I'm staring at my coolerdores scratching my head, I end up w/ an RP Sungrown  Speed |

I used to like the Vintage 92s, but it just can keep interested in them. Ive heard they changed some of the blends, and I can't imagine they're really still rolling tobacco from '92. |

Quoted:
Meh, RP has already given up on making quality cigars, might as well go the Gurkha route and sell some gimmicks. RP went the way of Gurkha 2-3yrs ago The last good cigar that he made was the Decade, and that was only good the first 3-6 months after it's release Something in the blend changed IMO |

Speed That's not just Rocky either. I tend to buy in spurts and stock up my humidor and not need anymore for a while. Sometimes I go into the B&M after not stopping by for a while and it can be like a whole new place, I don't know wtf I"m looking at. Drew Estate has like 15 kinds of LPs now. |

I still have a few original decades floating around, and they are not the same cigars as the decades now. When The Edge came out, they were primarily sold in 100 boxes, but a few guys were getting 20 boxes in. I split a box of 20 Edge Torp Maddies with a guy and My Fucking God were they strong and tasty!  When i burned all those up, I bought another box of torpedoes and they weren't even in the same class as the ones I had bought before; just a similar, but different cigar  Speed |

Speed I smoked the Edge Corojo's every day for about a year. The maduros used to be good, but the last 2 or 3 that I had a couple of years ago were downright terrible. Try the Cain 550 maduro...it's much better than the Edge maduro ever was |
