I was going through some of the old issues looking for a cigar and this caught my eye...again.

92 Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Robusto
90 FFOpusX Fuente Fuente
89 DC Maximus Toro #4
89 Gurkha Legend Robusto
88 FF Don Carlos Dbl Robusto
88 HdM Dark Sumatra Noche
88 Sosa Govenor
87 CAO Brazillila Amazon
87 Cohiba Siglo VI
86 Montecristo Platinum Series Toro

SO I'm wondering if the RP REALLY did score that high or did they think it was something else (PAN) and screw up? Or was the 9/03 Cohiba Siglo VI THAT bad that it only scored an 87?

I wouldn't say that the RP Vintage robo wasn't a good cigar, but I really do not think that it was ever any better than any of the latter cigars on a good day.

Rocky just paid more money in Advertising. I'd rate the HdM Dark Sumatra Noche higher than an RP...

I think the Amazon is a better cigar too, but that's just me.

They never give details or reasons as to how they score these, so we never freakin know!
