RP Summer Collection 09

[Uruss]

has anyone gotten to try one of these yet? I went up to Franklin, TN. last weekend to visit my grandpa, so I stopped at a few B&M's there in town and one of them had a box so I picked a couple up. I don't know anything about them (if they're the same blend as the 08's or not) but I do know that they're quite a bit more spicy than the 08's.

You know what I picked up a Robusto a couple weekens ago, I think you just picked tonights smoke out for me.

I was looking at purchasing some of these as well. Be interested to hear how they are.

I just grabber an 09 yesterday. I liked the 08 a lot. I plan to smoke it in about a month or so. Gonna give it some rest time

[Uruss]

Nice! let me know what you think of it Tx

[DBCcigar]

I heard they suck.

Guess I'll need to make a stop by my local to see if they came in yet, been waiting since it seems like RPs always a couple weeks behind in getting each season out.

Everything since the Summer '08 has been good. Those were quite bland. I still have a box of the lanceros that I almost always pass over.

Nice, I used to live there aswell, about 5 years ago. but I stopped at Old Havana Smoke Shop, Stogie's - that's who had the Summer 09's. and one other shop that I can't remember the name of it. It wasn't Uptown's.

Patrick, the owner of Stogies is a really good guy. It was probably Woody's Smokes and Brews you went to. That's my "home" B&M. Great selection of beer and sticks. They have a great staff and humidor (yet a bit on the crowded side). They seem to have a cigar rep in there weekly and are always running specials. Cool place.

I didn't catch the guys name at Stogie's but he was willing to help if needed. The guy at Old Havana's..not so much. is Woody's next to academy? that's the one we went to.

[BankersHours]

Yea, Woody's is right next to Academy! That's the one! Old Havana (and I hate to say this) is a bit ........snooty, if I may say! The day they opened they had a core group of customers that they were going to take care of and service. They have great product and atmosphere, but the service does lack. It's rare though to have 3 great shops that close to each other!

[Uruss]

Awesome! yeah, Woody's is a pretty nice place, they had some sales in there that was pretty great too, i picked up my first Oliva Master Blends in there since they were 6 bucks and some change compared to 9 at my Local B&M.
Yeah, It's a shame because Old Havana's could be an awesome place, they just need to get some good Customer service in there. but you're right, atleast there's 2 great shops right there
