  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Anyone ever smoke The TP Vigilante

i know they have been out for at least 2 years, dont know much more about them though :dunno: I think i am going to pull the trigger on 2 of the boxes(one of each wrapper) if they are good then i got a great deal....If they suck then they will go into the crap humidor for my college friends lol

Its a win-win :halfgrinw

I am now a little leary of the RP/CI blends. Ci has bought the entire production of a couple of RP's cigars. The R4 is the one I'm reffering to in particular. I bought a bundle of these a month or so ago, and I hope they get netter with time. They almost seem to have a color additive, as my spit seems to turn orange while I smoke these. If I have sent you one of these, let them sit for a while, hopefully some rest will even these out. I hope, for your sake, the Vigilante is better

I have some, they are OK, nothing to write home about, but good for the price point.

I also got a bundle of the R4s a few months ago (maduro wrapper). I smoke about one every two weeks, and they do seem to be getting better the longer they age.

Sometimes I stay away from cigars that aren't on Top 25. I have a lot of RPs and am struggling to pass on these. It's a great deal, but I too bought the R4s and they suck. I haven't been able to smoke an entire R4 because draw is way too hard and the sticks are like a rock.

i usually like the RP products (90 &92 vintage, Edge, Sungrown, Old World Reserve, Decade) these are all great cigars. BUT some of his other products are not so great (cuban blend, american market, r4, fusion, osg, etc.......)
