| Notes: | Can Rockey Patel make a bad cigar? I bought this last week, but didn't smoke it until today. It kept well, and smoked like a dream. It's the first time in a very long time I've gotten the taste of cream from a cigar. It's in the same price range as Ashton, and Griffins, but I've got to say this might be better than both. |
Comments
If I can get them by me, I definitely check them out. What qualifies it as a good breakfast smoke (for those of us that don't smoke at breakfast.)
I usually smoke a morning cigar on Saturday or Sunday morning. I like something that's not going to be very strong, but has enough body to enjoy with coffee.
That makes a lot of sense. I've been having Hoyo De Monterrey Dark Sumatran with Coffee these days.
To put it blunly, the finest cigar on the market. Just finished my sungrown and can not believe the flavor from start to finish. Formost the best cigar for the price. mmmmmm!
This is one of the best cigars i've tasted in a long time. it's a great smoke with the morning coffee,or after dinner, this is one that every humidor should have.
