Blind Cigar Review: Rocky Patel | Super Ligero Robusto (Prerelease)

"This was one of the 2 or 3 best cigars I have reviewed for BMP this year. The flavors hit me just right, the smoke was wonderfully smooth and creamy, and it was about as low maintenance a stick as you could ever ask for. Based on smoking this one stick alone, I would go out and buy a box tomorrow. I am anxiously awaiting the reveal." -Dave (mdwest)

"This is an exceptionally fine cigar. The complexity and balance of flavor was amazing. The transitions seemed to be constant, although many of them were small. I truly can't think of anything that would have made this cigar better." -Rob (Cigar Federation)

Blind Cigar Review: Rocky Patel | A.L.R. (Aged Limited & Rare) Robusto

"This wasn’t the most progressive smoke in the world for me but it was very pleasant. I enjoyed the flavor notes and especially the last third where the smok tobacco came more into play. This cigar was very relaxing to me as it was smooth, minimal if at all pepper notes, cocoa, some floral and other earthy flavors were consistent and tasty." -Diana (ArmyRN)

Rocky Patel Sixty Toro – Blind Cigar Review

"Very spicy cigar from beginning to end. The only exception was on the cold draw, which has sweet tea notes. The spicy notes include notes of cinnamon, jalapeno, and black pepper, and licorice. Veiny construction and hard spots that don't hinder the pleasure. Good draw and burn. Very strong grey-white ash that hangs on for half of the cigar. I'd smoke this stick again and include in my humidor." -Sean F. (fullermaine)

Blind Cigar Review: Rocky Patel | Vintage 2006 San Andreas Toro

"Overall this was a pretty good smoke. The flavors were spicy and smokey and left a tingle on the palate. The restricted airflow hindered my opinion a touch but still not a bad cigar. The firmness of the cigar allowed me to chew on it a bit more than usual which i enjoyed. Aroma excellent throughout. " -Adam B. (Bushboy)

Blind Cigar Review: Rocky Patel | Catch 22 Toro (Prerelease)

"I really enjoyed this cigar quite a bit. It had a mellow and smooth smoke for almost the entire time, never harsh and never bitter. I kept thinking while I was smoking that this would be a great late spring or summer smoke because it was so bright tasting. It had a fresh upbeat taste that was medium-full in flavor, so it would be a great way to end the day. Nicely constructed too made it a big hit for me." -Paul (pmr1010)

"Smoke was enjoyable and relaxing. Smooth throughout and no effort once past the tight draw. Flavors were complex enough to provide change throughout smoking experience. Retrohale was very flavourful." -Diana (ArmyRN)

Blind Cigar Review: Rocky Patel | Decade Cameroon Toro (Prerelease)

"This cigar fits perfectly into the casual smoke category for me. Something that I would enjoy either at a crowded event or when I am relaxing with a book or a movie. Somewhere that I wouldn't want a complex and deep cigar that is begging for my attention. It was the kind of cigar where you probably aren't going to run out and tell your buddies about it, but you are quite content to be smoking it." -David (Cigar Memoir)
