Also, don't buy RP Vintage 1990's. Buy RP Vintage 1990 'Seconds' ... about $50 for a bundle of 15. Same cigar, but no box and no band and some cosmetic flaw ... and less than half the price ...
Good to know! Just went to the local smoke shop and they stepped up their cigar selection. I smoked a cohiba toro and another that was in a plain glass tube. I really liked the strength of the toro!
