  • 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.

X marks the spot

Here is the post from CI.

Rocky Patel goodness....a fraction of the price.

Rocky Patel is the maker of many of today’s finest and most popular cigars. He’s also a notorious stickler for perfection, as each cigar is heavily scrutinized during the sortation and selection process. Of course, any underfilled or otherwise mis-rolled cigars get rejected several steps before and are never even allowed to see the light of day....that’s not what’s going on here. Instead, RP X-Outs materialize several steps beyond that when, just prior to packaging, certain cigars get rejected during color sortation. The color may be too dark or too light, or there’s a sun spot somewhere on the leaf.

That’s what we have here: Rocky Patel X-Outs. Each X-Out burns and tastes exactly like firsts, contain the same first-quality tobacco, but cost significantly less. For obvious reasons we can’t tell you which is which; instead they are labeled as Liga A, Liga B, Liga C, etc. You’ll figure it out. Truth be told, if you’re a Rocky Patel fan, you’d be silly to pass these quality cigars up cuz there’s a ton of value for the money here son.

For those of you who know and love our RP Vintage 2nds, try the RP X-Outs - tremendous RP quality for a fraction of the price.

I did some splits with X-out Liga C (purportedly Old World Reserve 2nds) and Liga D (Decade 2nds) and I ended up selling most of them. Just wasn't feeling it. I love Rocky Edge Corojo and Vintage 1992 and Junior naturals, and Sun Growns; they're all a regular part of my humi, so it's not like I have something against RP. I must add I've never had a REAL OWR or Decade so I don't know if they compare at all. I did keep a whole mazo of X-Out Liga Es, the ITC Super Fuerte 2nds that I did/do like. Go figure.
