Years ago...and by that I mean at least 12 years or so ago, I had a few Victor Sinclairs. Back in the boom era really. They weren't bad then, but I'd say it was more of a mild cigar back then. Then they disappeared. Came back a few years ago (at least to my knowledge). Reblended at first, tried it again and didn't care for it all. Also had some strange line they put out with...if memory serves correct...either a red band or a blueish band (kind of similar to what Oliva was doing at the time with their red vs. blue cloth bands). I think they were called Bohemian's or something. That was at least about 5 maybe 6 years ago. Tried those, didn't much care for them. Then they brought back the "classic" which I think was not quite the original blend, but close to it. Anyway, I tried it and it didn't do it for me (not that it ever did).
As for IT's...those have been discussed on here previously and pretty recently in fact. You'll be better off going for some Padrons, Puros Indios, Saint Luis Reys or even Connie's before springing for some IT's. IMHO anyway. If you're set on the Rocky Patel creations, go for his Edge or Olde World blends instead. Or, if you're into the IT or VS type of sticks, Rockey's Sun Grown might be for you.
