Rocky Patel Vintage 1992

[jaewing]

You all have to remember the CA Tobacco Nazi Republic we live in here on the Left Coast. They have imposed very high taxes on all things they deem to be "bad for us". Soon we will have a "sin" tax on Big Macs and Hershy bars her ein California.

That being said the price for that stick may be on the high side still. I would guess he got a churchill or double corona size for that price. My local shop has them all the time and with the taxes and all they are in the low teens for prices.

I love the 92's and they are one of my favorites right now.

Nice review,I love the 92 rp vintage,I keep them all the time for an everyday afternooner.

I will agree about CA prices,its rediculous.Recently in San Diego visiting my brother in law,I purchased an opus x for $35 and a Padron 64 for 12,I knew it was expensive but I was on vacation and didnt care much.opus x's here are $14ish.

Maybe some positive or constructive comments would be better than making someone feel stupid. Some people can't rattle off MSRP on every cigar currently in production and assume the local shop has good prices. Helpful advice would be a more proper way of responding here. Or were we just post-padding.

I think our brother needs to know he was hosed. $17 for a RP '92 is WAY above MSRP. The good news - stick around and we'll make sure you DON'T get hosed again.... Right, Jason? (It wasn't that long ago you'd happily plop down hard cash for those kinds of smokes at your local B&M )

Ahhh... Benefits of membership!!!

Around 25$ here in Canada for that stick... and our dollar is pretty close to yours... same reason as the prices in CA as well.

Got RP vintage 92sand 90s for half that in Austin. But have to agree that these are some excellent smokes. I picked up a couple of tins of Juniors while in Auatin. Perfect moring smoke.

Try the 2nds, they are cheaper, but the same quality. I love the 90's and bought some of the 2nds from CI.
