Rocky Patel Cameroon...?

[njstone]

So Thompson Cigars has 2 exclusive Rocky Patel blends, the Gold and now the new Cameroon. I'm a huge Rocky fan and right now I'm kinda obsessed with cammys...so this seems like a nice idea

I've never ordered anything from Thompson's but it seems that you can only buy these Rocky's by the box. I'm not in a position to gamble with that kind of cash right now.

So...does anyone plan to get some of these Cameroon or Gold RP cigars? If you've had them, are they any good?

If you want to trade for a few, please let me know.

Thanks!

I saw that in the new catalogue, but I'm not a fan of Cameroon's.....and i usually dont order from Thompson's unless its something insanly priced.

No more Thompson's for me.

Nate, I would be surprised if they were a Thompson exclusive, I would keep my eyes opened at CI and possible Famous. Thompson is WAY overpriced and i would certainly not recommend them.

Hmm...these aren't the first negative things I've heard about Thompson. Maybe I should stay away.

As far as exclusivity, I know they've had the Rocky Patel Gold for some time now, and I've never noticed it elsewhere. I assumed the Cameroon would be the same, but hopefully not.

I'm just WAY into cammy's at the moment and have been wondering why Rocky doesn't have any cameroon sticks out, given that he seems to have quite a few labels. There is of course the IT Cam. Legend, which I do like, but I was hoping for something nicer--competition to the CAO's, etc.

The only "decent" thompson deal ive ever gotten (or bought from them) was the Padron 8 Sampler for $99 shipped which is 5 bucks under retail...lol

lot of us got cigars from there one or twice, they do a good job getting the hook in the mouth but most of us left after that.

Here is a good thread to see about some diffrent Camy's.

Yeah, they started me down this path of the leaf a few years ago with an email spam that I responded to (and got some really nice sticks for cheap), but they got so annoying I ran away. stay clear IMHO.

You lost me at "Thompson".

1972 bought the mega box of freshly rolled cigars. I think it was 50 for $19. Heaven. That was a long tiime ago.

Rocky makes private label sticks for almost every online retailer out there. I would not surprise me if most of them are the same stick with just a different band and box. If you spend some time reading the descriptions of the cigars Rocky has at other retailers listed as private labels you might just what you want.

Question: is the Rocky Patel Connecticut from CI the same cigar as the Rocky Patel American Market Selection from Famous Smoke??
