After recieving a Partages D series no. 4 as a gift from a friend, and determining it was without a doubt, the best robusto i've ever smoked, I just purchased a box from Absolutecigars.
Whats your personal favorite?

REO by Rocky Patel
An exciting cigar with Rocky Patel at the helm.
REO is the combined effort of Rocky Patel and United Tobacco, owners of the short-lived Series 'X'. Made by hand in Honduras, this attractive premium employs a dark, 5 year old Costa Rican Sumatra wrapper to conceal an aged mixture of Honduran and Nicaraguan long-fillers, bunched inside a flavorful Nicaraguan binder leaf. Introductions begin with a spicy hello, only to request that you sit back and relax while the smooth, rich flavors take over. Rolled into a slightly box-pressed shape, this handsome cigar is just as pleasing to the palate as it is to the eye. A medium to full-bodied joy to smoke.
Fans of the RP Vintage ‘90 or ’92 should enjoy this cigar thoroughly. A deep, complex smoking experience that’s slow burning and smooth.

and yeag, you might not want to tell us where you ordered them.![]()
ci is wrong...the brand is owned by eddie ortega...and erik espinosa.....they happen to be friends of mine,and i sell the line...i'm guessing i know a bit more about the cigar than you do.....

poppapuff, name dropping aside, settle down, Jonesy is just telling you what CI's website says, and he really wants you to let them know, he's not playing smart ass.

Tell me where I claimed that I knew more than anyone else on this site? I was simply posting what CI had written on this cigar, so that maybe some people could give thier input. Let me worship you "All Mighty" becuase you know everything about this cigar....oh wait, i meant....Originally Posted by bigpoppapuff
I could really give a shit who makes the cigar. I don't give a fuck if you are "friends" with the makers and you sell the cigars. I tried one the other day and it tasted pretty good. I thought I might share that with some people here. There is no need for you to be a complete asshole. Sorry, I didn't know everything about this cigar and I offended you and your boyfriends.
name dropping??.....they happen to be friends of mine (as is rocky patel,btw)........i don't really think that was name dropping...i really don't give a flying fvck about CI...they're wrong in stating that the reo and vibe are rocky patel's cigars......he was involved (to a small degree) in the blending of both cigars.
the cigars are made in the portion of nestor plasencia's factory where rocky's cigars are made.
now,after years in the biz,if you want to learn some of what i might know...that's fine.
if you want to accuse me of name dropping...you can kiss my ass......
Well if you have a problem, why don't you address CI with your wealth of knowlage. Instead of attacking me for no reason you piece of shit!![]()
Who does the blending of the REO?
Remember to breathe
the blending was done by eddie,erik,and to a lesser degree,rocky.....based on the tobacco's available......the vibe was going to be made by caribe...but both are being made by rocky....
I would try and answer that for you, but, there is a good chance that BigPoppaPuff will go nuts again and flex his muscles to show everyone he knows all! He should be able to answer that for you, he'll just ask his buddies...you know the makers!Originally Posted by Baron Porthos
See he had the answer even before I could type this out! He is my hero!!!![]()
I just called CI... They're changing the name on the site:
Reo by Eddie Ortega, Erik Espinosa, and to a lesser degree Rocky Patel
Bigpoppa,
Everyone here knows I am slow at best but you just said both the vibe and REO are made by Rocky. Right?
And I have no clue how blending works. How does a blend come about with two primary and a smaller degree participant.
Thank you in advance.
