I smoked one yesterday night and I must say I was really impressed by this Cigar.
I totaly agree with your review but I had the pleasure to not encounter a stem as your Cigar had.
I was surprised by the amount of smoke and that very thin burnline.
Overall one of my favorate smokes so far.
Happy smoking

I just lit up a Decade, but before I did I sucked on it a little bit to make sure I got a clean cut. When I took my fingers away they were dark brown. I’ve heard that some manufacturers will dye the wrapper to make it look darker but I’ve never encountered a cigar that I could tell had had this done. Does anyone know if the Decade wrapper has been dyed? I can’t think of any other explanation for the dark coloring that i was able to wipe off the cigar.

Great review!
Inspired me to seek one out. It was fantastic, as I didn’t have the construction problems you did. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the great review – very objective and well articulated. The description, other than the bitter stem problem, matched quite well with my single decade experience (which I am finishing as I write this). Definite leathery, and even meaty, notes predominate, with a woody flavor, too. I experienced the savory aftertaste washing away the other flavors as well. I noticed the woody flavor persisting in the aftertaste in the final third of the cigar, though. I particularly liked the savory aftertaste. I love the smooth oily wrapper of this cigar (and also the 1992, though I have not tried the 1992). Thanks again for your review.

Try running a match or lighter quicky beneath the band back and forth. This will melt the gum slightly enough to peel the band off without damaging the cigar wrapper.

For the price, it should leave no doubt and I expected a better smoke. I’ve tried this one a few times, the first one was OK, the other 2 complete dissapointments. Overly harsh, wood/paper, a few hints of leather, and none of nuances I’d expect from a high priced stick. I’ve only smoked about 50 or so different styles/brands and I don’t really have a major preference when it comes to flavor profile, however I feel I know a really good cigar when I have one and this just ain’t one.

I used to enjoy RP product a lot , until i realize that Rocky lie to us all, why is that well, the truth is the amazing Decade is the same Edge Sumatra, that he took out of the market when he realized that was so good, and increase the price about 5 buck, very smart move.
I knew this truth a guy who was in one of the very famous rocky tours to Honduras, he says the 5 years aged wrapper is bullshit. it takes like 1 year, 2 year tops.

Anyway i wll problably smoke RP again, but isn´t my favorite anymore.

Don´t Deserve 95 score.
