Rocky is doing his best to catch up to Gurkha in the "release a crap-mediocre blend every month" race.

Dont think I will try another Gurkha ever, I love when they say it retails for $1,000,000,000. (slight exaggeration of course) and then they sell it for $2.00
It's a strange concept to me...

If they keep releasing crap blends over and over again, eventually folks like me, you and many others will never bother trying out any of their new offerings after we've been let down by their previous releases.

I don't think there are enough new cigar smokers out there to keep that business model going.
