Cracking Rocky Patels Codes

[kasper13]

Rocky Patels X-Outs have been out for a while and I have learned what the letter codes translate to, but now CI has “Rocky Patel Nicaraguan Factory Selects”
They have a “Liga A” in 5 sizes and “Liga B” in 3 sizes.

Who knows what blend they are? Just want to know before I buy.

Didn't you make the post that I linked on my last post?

[kasper13]

That postin was me, but follow the link and you see that what I am talking about is listed different then the X-outs. Just wasn't sure if these, the Nicaraguan Factory Selects are seperate that the X-outs or the same with more sizes.

Sorry.

Hmmmm. Interesting. Never seen these before.

Well, I just ordered some of the Liga A...so we'll find out!

[jedipastor]

Here's what I figure:

It lists the Fusion and Signature as two of the options these sticks could be, but since those are already listed in separate categories as 2nds by CI, then it can't be those.

The Winter Collection isn't out yet, so that's not it either.

The Fusion MM is also a possibility, but I'm not sure they'd do that because 1) the picture is not a maduro (weak argument, I'll grant) and 2) the MM doesn't sell all that well, so I'm not sure CI would order 2nds. Then again, the MM is exclusive to CI whereas the Summer and Autumns aren't even sold there...

So that leave the ITC 10th, Summer Collection, and Autumn Collection to fill at least 1 of the two remaining spots.

My money was on the ITC 10th for one of those spots, if for no other reason that the fact that CI's "sister company," cigar.com JUST THIS WEEK addend ITC 10th Anny 2nds to their site. Also, "Liga A" has a lonsdale size, which is only seen in the ITC 10th.

HOWEVER, since the sizes listed on both the "Liga A" and "Liga B" of the Selects include a Salamon size, I'm going to have to say that one of them has got to be the RP Autumn Collection.

Now, it could be that salamons were made of other blends like the ITC 10th but never released, but anything is possile

So, here are my guesses:

Liga A = ITC 10th Anny
Liga B = RP Autumn Collection

What do you guys think?

With out a side by side comparison I can’t be positive but you may be correct on Liga B but I do not think Liga A will be the ITC 10th Anny because cbid has been offering the ITC 10th anny 2nds and the Rocky Patel Nicaraguan Factory Selects.

Anyone have any info on these yet?

I have looked at the X Outs.....and would love to know what is what as well.

[sboyajian]

Rocky Patel X-Outs Liga "A" = Edge

Rocky Patel X-Outs Liga "B" = Sungrown

Rocky Patel X-Outs Liga "C" = Olde World Reserve

Rocky Patel X-Outs Liga "D" = Decade

Rocky Patel X-Outs Liga "E" = Indian Tabac Super Fuerte

Enjoy.

I smoke the Edge regularly and I think it's the only 6X52 that RP makes.That would male it Liga A. I haven't tried any though.

Gentleman,

Currently HOLTS has a sale on fifty count boxes of EDGE's for $129 on up. $2.60 each EDGE's quite a bargain. They are the square, boxed press variety though.

You know i'm a Rocky Patel whore but it just seems like he keeps putting more and more stuff out and to be honest some of his stuff just ain't worth it. Hes got a good line of prodcuts he just needs to let them ride.

He is attempting to make something for everyone.. so many brands have either super expensive or super cheap, or both. Some have just middle.. very few have across the board, and even less have well priced quality.

I respect that he is willing to put his name on so much to offer to so many.. I think in time as he realizes which ones sell, he'll phase out the others and just keep the top sellers of each tier.
