"not bad at all"

I got this as a sample with one of my previous orders. Not a huge RP fan but thought I d give it a try today. Definitely a full bodied smoke but smooth and easy to smoke. I am about half way through this smoke as I m writing this review and can t say anything bad about it. Not on the top of my list when it comes to Nicaraguan cigars but for the price you can t beat it.

"This one surprised me"

This cigar was a pleasant surprise. I would classify the particular stick I smoked as light to medium bodied, even though it is advertised as full. I really liked the different flavors I was getting from this cigar: tobacco, cedar, apple. I started having trouble keeping it lit about the time I hit the band. I didn t want to keep doing touch ups and the wife was wanting me to start the grill, so I was unable to smoke it to the nub. This is a good stick at this price point, was easy to smoke, and was a good cigar.

"Top Notch Cigar"

Lately Rocky Patel has been impressing my taste buds with sticks that have hit home runs with me and this absolute treat of a Toro hit one out of the park. After one week settling in my box I served my palate this delicious stick and smoked to my hearts content. I liked this full flavored smoke with the Habano wrapper. I enjoyed this stick tip to stern without a relight. The draw, construction and the flavor was top notch and for the price all I can say is WOW.

"Surprised by this one..."

I m not usually a nicaraguan fan but Famous comped me one on a recent order and I tried and enjoyed this cigar. Familiar Rocky construction, burn, draw, and ash with a decent amount of flavor. Personally, I would purchase the Rocky Cuban but thanks Famous for the freebie!

"Great cigar"

The Rocky Patel Nicaraguan is a great cigar the one I received had a nice beautiful flawless wrapper the burn was even and it had a nice smooth draw and the cigar had nice aromas and flavors there was cedar, cinnamon, citrus, cream, hay, leather and pepper and into the second to third quarter of the cigar the aroma and flavors started to blend together a create a nice sweet apple pie like aroma and flavor towards the end of the cigar.

"Great Smoke"

Really enjoyable smoke. Was smooth and I enjoyed it to the end. My non-cigar smoking friend even found it to be a good smoke.

"Nice smooth smoke"

This stogie was a very enjoyable smoke. The draw was full and smooth. The ash held for a long time.

"Alittle strong for me"

As a Rocky fan, this cigar is stronger than I prefer. It is a full body that kicks hard, as you get closer to the end...it has a punch. It is very well constructed and consistent from beginning to midway, after that...all strong. I favor the 1992 or the 1990 over this one, a good cigar for those that like a kicker for a smoke!

"This cigar is over-rated"

Although this cigar has a nice looking wrapper and the taste is average, I m very disappointed in the burn. Because if you put this cigar down longer than a minute it goes out. Furthermore the burn is uneven to the point that I just give up and throw the unused portion away. The center will usually will burn out first, or it burns at approximately a 60 degree angle leaving a nasty looking and messy object in your hand. I shared with my brother, and he did not like it either. Perhaps a bad box? I don t know, but I will not order this cigar again.
