I have tried a couple different sticks fro Rocky Patel over the last two weeks and I have enjoyed them. I usually steer clear of a maduro wrapper, but I smoked a vintage 1990 maduro and really liked it.
I was just curious as to how others felt about the Rocky Patel line and if you have any suggestions from their inventory.
I used to like the Vintage '92 line, but I haven't bothered trying to find any in years.Quote:

The RP Edge / Edge Maduro are pretty good, but again, they're down the list on priority buys for me lately. Fuck the Edge lite and the OWR. They suck, IMHO.

ETA: you could also do a search in the reviews forum, narrowing it down to "Rocky Patel"...a bunch of shit comes up.:smiley2:
I dug the 1961, it's worth trying. :smiley20:
The Decades have always been good smokes for me...
I can't remember the last RP I bought. I might still have an edge or two and maybe a cuban blend or sungrown kicking around, and if I do it ain't because I'm "saving" them for a special day. So many other cigars I prefer in the same price ranges. Seems like he had fewer, yet better, lines when I first started smoking.
That happens more often in life than I like to admit. You rarely find quality and quantity together.Quote:

I'm not saying they are a game changer but I did like the Edge and 1990.
What are some similar style sticks at about the same price range that you would suggest? I'm still trying to find that go to cigar.

Are you sure your patent is international and covers Canada? We do things "differently" up here. :smiley5:
I'll get back to you.Quote:

I'm a fan of RP's.
The ones I like to have in my humidor, and do have at present:
- Vintage 1990 Robusto
- Nording Maduro Toro
- Decade Torpedo
I think I have about 10 left of each of the aforementioned.
I've also tried, and enjoyed, the Sungrown and The Edge. I've yet to try the 1961 and hope to some time soon.

Nothing brings out the subtle complexities of a fine cigar like the light from a vintage chandelier. I've always said that.

I absolutely loved this cigar. If you like Rocky Patel and full bodied cigars then this is the cigar for you. If you or anyone on this forum has smoked this before let me know what you thought about it
I got a RP sampler of robustos from Famous; here's what I thought of them.
Good:
-Xtreme Sumatra - Very nice draw and smooth, semi-spicy flavor.
-Rosado - Similar to above, but not as good and more one-dimensional.
-Honduran Classic - Nice, smooth maduro.
OK:
-Famous Signature series - Creamy, but one-dimensional.
-American Classic - Pretty mild, but nice; never got harsh to the end.
-Patel Bros. Next Gen. - Pretty light for a maduro, okay flavor.
Bad:
-VUDU - Harsh and gave me a bad headache.
-Cuban Blend Maduro - Started to taste like ammonia 1/3 of the way in and it just got worse.
