  • Rocky Patel Thread!

     11-20-2008, 4:44 PM

    It's the Rocky Thread!! This guy is one of my tip top favorite cigar makers and i just met him last weekend at an event here in Fresno. Awesome down to earth guy! Review your Rocky's... I had a crap ass day at work so i just sparked up a RP Fusion Robusto. The have been in the humi for a while. This cigar is a smoke bomb!! Loads of rich creamy smoke with every puff. The draw is very easy and burn is beautifully even. A very cool smoke all the way down, never got hot. Has a nice slight sweetness combined with a very good and pronunced earth taste supported by nice hints of cocoa and leather. I think this is a mild m/medium cigar, slightly to the mild side. Doesnt have a strong punch to it but it is very smooth smoke. Just noticed lots of cocoa in the aroma too. I have a few Fusion Double Maduros in the humi, cant wait to try them. Anyone tried the Decade or the Old World Maduro? If any passes come my way i'll be throwing one of these in for sure, ya'll gotta try these!

    I've had a decade, not a bad smoke, I'd smoke it again.

    I've loved all the RPs I've had. Edge was good and I love VIntage 1992. I have a couple Decades resting, as well as a Meritage. Haven't heard much on that one.

    Meritage huh? Havent heard of that one. Just like at the event i went to he had a line called "Maduro by Rocky Patel". I have a few but havent smoked them, they smelled like a pretty big maduro. "Autumn Harvest" is another one he has out that nobody seems to know much about.

    Rocky has so many different blends, it is hard to keep count of them all. For example, I'm sure there are more than a few here who have not seen the RP Rosado, Cuban Blend or Honduran Classic, all of which are pretty good cigars and very much worth trying but are maybe not as well known because they are exclusive to one online retailer.

    The Vintage 92 is in any list of my favorite cigars, and I love the Fusion MM in the lancero size. The Vintage 90 and the Sun Grown didn't wow me so much.

    I have a few Decades resting. I'll be getting around to one sometime soon.

    The Decade was a pretty good smoke, though it was tainted by me having to pay 14$ for the stick in Vegas, damn casinos trying to make a profit. Anywho, pretty good, don't remember anything that was outstanding but I'd smoke it again.

    I can get the Decade here in Charlotte for about $10 bucks I can't believe prices are that much higher in the Republik of California or West coast for that matter as it appears

    the MSRP is the same.

    that price is all taxes.

    I got the Decade for $10 here in NJ at a local B&M. Didn't Tim come on here and offer them for $7 a couple of months ago. I remember I jumped at it and got a 5 pack I think. Or was it a 10 pack?
