Aarrgghh!!

Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Robusto

This is the second of my alternative happy hour cigars. I figured I would give Rocky Patel another try. I was extremely happy with my choice.

Construction: Perfect. The burn was geometrically perfect. The ash was perfectly white. The draw, as you may expect, was... perfect.

Taste: The cigar was fantastic tasting. It was very full-bodied but not overpowering. It did a good job standing up to the scotch I had.

Stats: It's made of Dominican and Nicaraguan filler with a Nicaraguan binder and Honduran wrapper. It was 5 1/2 inches by a 50 ring gauge. It costs $6.50 at Holt's.

Overall: For $6.50 a pop, this cigar is a great value. Additionally, you can buy them in a box of 20 for $116.95. Definitely give these a try.

Are you kidding me or what! The Rocky Patel Signature 1990 is out of this world. I have never had a better experiance smoking a cigar! This cigar looks, feels and taste's wonderful. What a joy. When I'm smoking one of these don't even talk to me. It's almost a religious experiance. Can't wait to get off work & try to procure a box of these to savor...

This review was dead on, this was a fabulous smoke and the draw was incredible! Tons of smoke and a nice and slow perfect burn. This cigar is a must have for any humidor, regardless of your smoking expertise! My only issue is that I have but one more left... =(

In all honesty: I love my Rocky P's. For me it is the Rocky Patel Sun Grown Junior. The taste and the draw is great and they are not that expensive. Really good to enjoy myself.
