I smoked a RP Decade tonight, and frankly, I am very underwhelmed. I mean, it was a decent cigar, and had great flavor, but with the all the hype and the big ratings I was expecting more.
The burn was one of the most inconsistent I've ever come across, and I had to touch up probably 5 or 6 times.
There are a LOT of cigars I would take over the decade any day of the week: I guess the lesson I learned here is that hype doesn't necessarily mean jack squat.
That cigar's gone through a lot of changes. The decades today aren't much like the originals, and those are the ones that I suspect had the high ratings.
Herf'ed with Brett last night and enjoyed a Padron 1964 Anniversary Corona Maduro... truly a balanced, well blended, and complex smoke that burned just perfectly and drew as well too. Finished up the night with a MoW Puro Authentico.... had to have had at least 6 months on it (Got if as a gift from MichaelHarvey) since the pepper and spice were much more refined and less in your face.... made a brilliant stick into a a true masterpiece according to my palate and what I enjoy! Thank you Mike.... FAN-FU(KING-TASTIC and far creamier and smoky with cream, vanilla, and aged oiled leather!
Last night was a La Gloria Cubana Series N. Don't know where I got this one, it sort of just showed up in my humidor. I'm glad it did.
Want more? I always have a box worth in my humi. These puppies have been sitting for about 8 months now. My daily cigar pretty much. Sweet, dried fruit tastes, chocolate, coffee towards the middle. I have had at least 100 of these suckers in the last year.
