    Default RP American Market Select

    This is a Famous smokes special by Rocky Patel. You either love this guys cigars, or you hate them. They have a distinct flavor profile. I happen to like them. I smoke the double corona size. It comes in a Connecticut wrapper. This is an excellent, reasonably priced mild smoke. It is almost identical to the Ghurka Expedition, but a touch milder. Construction is nice. What you'd expect in a moderate quality cigar. Every one in the box smoked well with minimal burn issues, wrapper damage, etc. Billowing clouds of creamy, mild, cedary smoke that goes great with light cool summer drinks such as lager, pilsner, cola, or ginger ale.

    It is so hard to stay on top of what Rocky makes. He has as many different types of cigars as Gurkha does.
    The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." -unknown

    Not a real big fan of RP, but I don't consider them a bad cigar. I used to like the Gurhka and the RP 90, but the last couple I had (a couple of years ago) just didn't do it anymore. I guess that's either a sign that my tastes have changed or I've been using too much Zicam

    Exactly what I was thinking. I'm not a big fan of RP. I do, however, like the Edge, criollo.

    I need another box of these, but the price has shot up to well over $100 a box. They're good, but not that good.

    What is it with every cigar I decide I like shooting up in price within a year or two?
