I still have my umbilical cord but I'll try to give a review on this stick.

Update: This is a RP vintage 1999 Connecticut.

I purchased it at my local B&M store.. HMN. I don't remember the price.

I kept it in a sealable bag with a pillow for humidity and smoked it Friday afternoon. after toasting and during the first few draw's, I thought to myself that this is what a cigar is supposed to impart. The smoothness and flavor was really very nice and almost dessert like. My palate is not as refined as most of you so I can only describe it as mellow, creamy and somewhat sweet tasting. I know RP is not for everyone, but this particular one will be smoked more than once by me. To date I have only smoked 8 cigars but this one wowed me with the flavor and mellowness and is my favorite thus far.

This stick lit very well, burned very well and drew very easily.

Thanks for the review Brett. That's what it's all about, trying different cigars and finding those gems that work for you, and sharing the experience with your friends when possible.
