Conquista by RP

KoolhandK-you should verify what you type on the internet. Hecho a Mano can have different interpretations depending on who you speak with.

The whole cigar is hand made. There is NO machine made parts to it. I have been talking with Mike, who made the blend with rocky from the inception of his idea.

Actually I just called him to verify and he said "Completely hand made at Rocky's Plascencia Factory." So just be sure before you start spreading nasty rumors. ;)

Mike is one of the best store owners I have ever hung out with(I am in his store at least once a week) and I get a little defensive about my favorite local store! LOL

You are totally right. I should have called Mike to verify it. I just figured that in addition to the "hecho a mano" it was probably the only way to have such a great house cigar at such a low price. I do however disagree that it is a nasy rumor, there are many fine fine cigars out there that we all smoke that are machine binded. Many cubans infact.

Oh yeah and you are right, Mike is awesome...I love Tampa Humidor. I mean what other company offers free shipping amongst other benefits (which the lay person wouldn't know about unless they did business with them). Hey Guado what did you think of the free Conquista t-shirt, I love mine.

Guado, you have a couple of these for trade ? I would like to try one.

I got the conquista shirt the day he got them in. I had also smoked the conquista months ago when he got a pre-production bundle. I have been anticipating the release for months! All I know is that it's a sign when a NEW cigar hits the shelves and people are buying two boxes at a time.

Wingfan PM me.

Yeah he only has boxes of the roubustos left until October (at least thats what the July update said). I have already tried the robusto and have a toro waiting in the humi (can't wait).

Hey Guado, I recently moved from Florida so would you mind posting pics of the New Tampa Humidor Store when it is up and running? I know it is not for a few more months, but I can't wait to see what it looks like, and I won't be able to go down for a visit for quite some time.

Move in should hopefully be in January. I will damn sure have pictures when it comes up. I will practically live there. I have been waiting for the new place for over a year now.

The cigar only improves once it stabilizes. They are still too wet fresh. I have a box of torpedos resting to get fired up. :D
