A quick search shows they do still make the maduros. Dont believe I have ever tried one, but I have smoked a lot of the regular Tempus and always enjoyed them. Very good smokes

Other than 3/4 of the Java line, I have tried some 15 or so RPs. They ranged from mediocre to...what's the opposite of mediocre (somewhat good maybe).
The handful of ABs I've tried have all been good, the best being the Filthy Hooligan.
I kicked off this latest cigar craze with a Blind Faith...it tasted good but smoked worse than any of the dog rockets I usually smoke.
Probably was just too close to the humidifier in the B&M or something.
...and yeah, I know whenever someone says, "A newbie says what?" I go, "Huh?

Have you tried the AB Prensado? I think they are extremely good, and many seem to agree.
If you haven't tried one you really should get a couple singles to try. They aren't very expensive and singles are easy to find.
Neptune Cigars has singles of Robustos for $9
I'm not a big RP fan either and have tried a fair number of them. The Edge is a standout for me though.

No problem.
Some brands just don't do it for some people, and once you have soured on a brand, you just give up on them. Very understandable.

Just remembered I was strangely attracted to RPs Mulligans line and got a sampler. At $3 or so a pop I doubt I'll be back here with a strong recommendation. Glad I didn't go for the Snowman with an 80 ring.
Sometime in the last decade, Rocky opened his own factory in Esteli, Tavicusa. I think the cigars from that factory rival some of the more well-regarded factories in Nicaragua like Padron, Joya de Nicaragua and Drew Estate.
Any of his anniversary lines are stellar in my opinion - Decade, Fifteenth, Twentieth and Quarter Century. He gets a lot of flack for having too many lines, but if you know what you're looking for he makes some awesome cigars!
I have less love for Alec Bradley, but there are still some gems among that brand. Tempus was the first really good cigar that they put out, but it's gone up and down over the years, much like Prensado. The new blends done in partnership with Alan's sons Alec and Bradley are all pretty good - Blind Faith and Gatekeeper especially.
And I can't say enough things about Arturo Fuente - my favorite brand. My favorites are Don Carlos, Magnum R, and also the Chateau Pyramid if you enjoy a good creamy Connecticut.
