According to Gary Korb, chief copywriter and one of Famous Smoke Shop's resident cigar authorities, "Conuco is a medium to full-bodied cigar with a sweet and complex character." He added that "the cigar offers plenty of earthy, caramelized flavors with hints of dark roasted coffee and cocoa in the aroma."

Makes me wanna try one or two!

yeah that's what i said when i ordered the R4, now I have 25 cigars, minus the ones I sent out, that I don't really want. I plan on letting them sit a year before trying them again. Ii think Rocky is trying to put his name on anything he can righht now and cash in before peoplr realize he only has a couple cigars worth smoking.

Thanks for the warning, I will wait to catch a 5er on cbid for dirt cheap.

Who wins for the most different cigars? RP or Gurkha?

It kind of pains me because his core products (Edge, Vintage) are pretty good.

The R4 Corojos are decent smokes for the price. I haven't tried the maduro version.

Interesting, how cigars can taste different to different people. I have really enjoyed the R4 Maduro, so if anyone has some they do not want, just let me know!!

I had the Conuco the other day and all I can say was that it is nothing special. You don't have to run out and buy these.

[EvanS]

I have to wonder...would anyone even really be able to tell IF this were actually a new cigar in a blind test?

Pm incoming, maybe a trade.

Huh, I smoked my first R4 Corojo the other day and found it pretty darn pleasant. Not gonna go crazy trying to acquire a humidor full, but I liked it.

Coolhand - regarding your signature; I have no idea who or what ~Capire Et Relinquere~ is, but I do know you must be a Jimmy Buffett fan!! Son of a Son of a Sailor, if I'm not sadley misshapen.:cool:

I wonder if Rocky repackages the same cigar for different vendors? They all seem to have an "RP Exclusive". I have liked his Vintage and keep some in my Humi all the time, but really, how many QUALITY blends can you come up with in a years time?

The Capire Et Relinquere translates to "Understand and Forsake"

Ahhhh Sooooo! I see said the blind man.

I guess flyfishermen don't eat a lot of nice pan fried trout, then.:headroll:
