Also, the Rennaisance is the cigar that "took" the place of the Edge Sumatra, not the Decade. But the blends are still different.

I just spoke to Rocky Patel at an event. (I've been coveting what few Edge Sumatra Torpedoes I can get my hands on because I love em so much) The first thing I asked him was "what happened to the sumatra?" He swears up and down that it's the same blend and everything, it's just that the wrapper is a little lower of a priming. I tried the Renaissance and I find it's very similar in flavor profile but without the pepper blast that I get in the Edge Sumatra torpedo. Then again, I find the same comparison when I've smoked a toro in the ES line too. It's very frustrating to me. I was told by a rep from a different company that the word was RP is using the old ES wrapper for the sun growns. I haven't had one of those in a very long time. I'm starting to get very irritated with these games that seemed to be going on. I wish manufacturers would just be up front with us.
