Yep, all these boutique brands are growing tiresome on my expectations and wallet. Everyone has an edgey new look and wants to jack up the prices of their cigars because they have taken new marketing avenues to appeal to a different crowd... But they should focus more on making a good cigar first, establishing a record of consistent cigars... and then build the brand (i know, gurkha, call the kettle black).
Point #2, the edge sumatra is my favorite RP, followed by the Decade, and then the Edge maduro, everything else he makes "humps".. i cannot stand the 1990 and 1992... they are just very dissatisfying smokes.
Some people swear by the Renniasance.... I'll hold my breath until i try one for free. I'm not spending that kind of loot on an RP especially since i had bad luck in the past, all his spring blends and seasonal **** should be left to the coffee industry...
