RP Sumatra if you can find them...great smoke. But the Renaisance is also a tasty stick.

Makes sense that you like them both.

A Very reliable source tells me the Renaissance is the same thing as the Edge Sumatra with a different priming on the wrapper.

The Sungrown is the best blend with his name on it, followed by the OWR maduro, which can be had for much cheaper at CI labeled as the RP Xout Liga C maduro.

Damn good blends and two of my go to's for sure.... I don't mess with much of his other smokes as I can't and won't keep up.

So far, after trying many R.P.s I like the Vintage 92 best. But only in the Perfecto size. The larger sizes and even the Petite Corona dont have as good flavor as the Perfecto. This is an awesome morning smoke w/ Coffee too.
I liked the Decade too. Very nice flavor but the flavor did not change at all through the entire stick.
I wolud still like to try the Edge Sumatra. I did not like the other Edges.

If I remember correctly, priming refers to when, in the life cycle of a tobacco plant, when the leaf is harvested. The lower on the plant, the younger the leaf, the more mild the flavor is.

I complained to my bud about the wrapper leaf of the Renaissance being too thin and easily damaged. He explained the lower priming ( earlier harvesting of a younger, thinner wrapper leaf ) was a possible cause.
