Moving on...the RP was offering buy three get 1 free, which was a great deal. Andrew and I spent a great deal of time with the RP representative Mark Rudacille. Lucky for us, he will also be at Boda's on Friday afternoon! He also said that Boda's has the best coffee ever! We are really looking for to it, as Andrew's birthday is on the 6th, a Sunday. To say the least, the RP rep knew his stuff. We asked questions about hard to find cigars (The Nording, which we found out from an Outman rep. that some were on order, YAY!), biggest sellers, and his personal favorite (which is the sun grown). Needless to say, we had a great time.
Sadly, Outman's was so busy, they gave us the wrong prices on a two of our 5 cigars! We called the store at 10 minutes until closing time and they informed us we had to go back up to the store (the next day), bring all cigars, and they will make it right. SHUCKS! We were quite disappointed we didn't get to smoke any of our loot that night! Deep breaths...ok, we can wait. So the next day we went to get a refund from the errors. Later that evening, after doing loads o
f master's program homework, we walked the dogs and smoked the cigar:Rocky Patel Renaissance
Size: Robusto
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra
Filler: Nicaraguan/Honduran Blend
Binder: Nicaraguan/Honduran Blend
Cost: Free with purchase of 3 other RP Cigars
From: Outman's
Smell: Subtle earthy smell, with woody overtones
To say the least, this cigar has character. When I first took the cigar to my lips, although it was almost unbearably wet (thanks Andrew), it was extremely easy to draw, but man, it was fiery! The tip of my tongue began to tingle with a spicy sensation- wow, this cigar has some heat (spice). As the cigar progresses, the spicyness seemed to become more subtle to allow a smooth, earthy, nutty flavor to arise. In short, this cigar was nothing less than mere perfection. I'd recommend this cigar to anyone!
