I have found a couple blends I don't hate from RP as well....the thing is...they have to rest for 3 years before they taste good and smoke without terrible flaws...I actually really like their Cuban Blend once they have rested for about 18 months.

Yep - agreed. The best RP I've had to date (and I like my Rockys)!

That's funny because this guy was 14 months old and still required half a dozen re-torches.

I really like the RP OWRs but agree, his box pressed stuff always burns like sh*t; however I haven't had problems with his round cigars... the Connecticut and Sun Grown are middling but the RP Burn is awful IMHO.
It's not a real hobby unless it interferes with your work.

Let's just be honest here guys. A RP may taste good, but they all burn like total crap haha. I mean construction wise I think they are awful
The reason I found out that they kind of sorta blossom after years of rest is because I refused to smoke them and forgot about them in my cooler lol.

Interesting. My experience is that RPs have impeccable construction. Not trying to invalidate your experience - it is yours after all. For me, flavours can be hit or miss for the brand but the construction is always flawless...
Agree with the benefits of rest!

My personal experience with Rocky Patels is top-of-the-line. Cigar Aficianado's rating of the Royale at #5 this year is well earned. I like 'em.
