I would think so too, as the vintage line would indicate. '90, '92, '98, some of my favorites by the way Ubino. Try 'em ....I also read an article that Kaizad Hansotia started in the cigar industry in 1989, but before that was in the coffee, tea and tobacco trade in India. re: Cigar. Com magazine March 2008 pg.20.
Thanks, guys. Things like this remind me of just how big the cigar world is. I mean, I wasn't a connoisseur 10 yrs. ago and I didn't read industry mags (and still don't), but I did visit a LOT of different smoke shops in quite a few places, and just never saw either of these brands -- brands that are major, important names in cigars.
The amount of variety available to us is really incredible. Lucky us.

I'm almost positive Gurkha was around 10 years ago but was still a boutique brand and wasn't carried in heavy quantities then. Rocky Patel's lines WERE NOT around 10 years ago, back then he only sold Indian Tabac cigars. The vintage lines are tobacco he bought from a defunct General Cigar line. They had abandoned the project years before and RP picked up some well aged tobacco at a reasonable price and thus launched his RP line and more or less abandoned ITC.
Me too man. There is a lot more to the story but I figured that was a good enough synopsis. Did you also know Rocky pays Indian motorcycles royalties to use the name Indian Tabac?
Maduro is the encyclopedia of cigar info, Is all this stuff commited to memory or the ability to search the 'net at super human speeds ? Your right Kuzi you can learn something every day.

A little of both. I enjoy learning about cigars as much as smoking them. So if you guys start talking about something I'm not knowledgable about, and Kuzi doesn't immediately educate us, then I go do some research. Honestly I know as much as I do bc I have never been scared to ask questions.

We are all lucky to have all the answers to every question at our fingertips. Billions of answers just a few clikcks away. What did we do before the Technology / Computer Age ? What are we calling it now.
Don't worry about it. Madoro I would be the first to joke with you given the chance. I truely do not care, we are all here to have fun. Sell that Ranger yet ?
Its an old joke TFH, just an old joke. I too have a few Gurkha's that I thoroughly enjoy. I have an issue more with Gurkha's image than their product much like Davidoff.

Gurkha's suck.
I've smoked more Gurkah's than I have RP's but I'm yet to find a RP that I don't like. I enjoy both Niceraguan and Honduran tobacco.
