I've contacted RP and also talked to a rep at an RP event about these smokes and found out some interesting things. From what both told me, the R4 blend didn't go as planned and RP dumped their entire stock on CI for a ridiculously cheap price. The rep said he tried and couldn't get 1/3 of the way down one. RP was going to re-label them as something completely different than the Rocky Patel line-up, but didn't.
Sadly, both the rep I talked to in person and the email I received from RP were both apologetic about the R4. I still have one maduro in my humidor and will give it until November to try it again. November will be one year in the humi so I'm wondering if it'll change at all. I doubt it, but it's just one cigar.
