Is this sampler a good idea? Rocky Patel

**steffanan** · 02-01-2012, 10:45 PM

So there is a Rocky Patel sampler on famous-smoke.com this month that really caught my eye. I decided to not spend more money on cigars for a while, but this seems like a really good deal, and it says that the proceeds go to the Cigar Rights of America in some way. I have only had one Rocky Patel cigar in my life, and wasn't even a huge fan, but i would like your opinion on if this is a really good sampler, or if you would personally spend the money on it. Its $30 for this 10 cigar sampler. The cigars included are as follows:

1 Amilcar Perez Castro Robusto Maduro (5 x 50)
1 Olde World Reserve Toro Natural (6 1/2 x 52)
1 Patel Next Generation Robusto Natural (5 x 50)
1 RP Cuban Blend Robusto Maduro (5 1/2 x 50)
1 Rocky Patel Decade Robusto Natural (5 x 50)
1 Rocky Patel Edge Lite Robusto Natural (5 x 50)
1 Rocky Patel Vintage 99 Robusto Natural (5 1/2 x 50)
1 Sun Grown RP Robusto Natural (5 1/2 x 50)
1 Vintage 1990 Robusto Maduro (5 1/2 x 50)
1 Vintage 1992 Robusto Dark Natural (5 1/2 x 50)

So, like i said, i have only had one Rocky Patel stick in my life, but if you guys believe this is a good deal, i will definately go for it. Thanks guys, what would i do without you!

Not me. There's only 3 on there I'd remotely think about buying.

Save up and do a newbie sampler.

This is all of course just 1 opinion...

I remember liking the '92, and the '90 was a follower...but that was a while ago, and I don't know how they still have stock in that wrapper...

The decade is decent.

I enjoyed the Sun Grown for a time. That time was long ago. Rocky Patel, IMHO, suffers from TheyAllTasteTheSameToMe. I'd suggest the newbie sampler would be your best bet, or if you must, pick up some 5-packs.
