Is this sampler a good idea? Rocky Patel

[steffanan]

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.

Have to agree on

TheyAllTasteTheSameToMe

And I'm not real sure about CRA either

I like the RP Decade Torpedo and Vintage 1990 Robusto and I would recemmend those to anybody. The only other one in the list I've tried was the Sun Grown. It was ok, not great, but ok. I can't say anything about the rest because I've never tried any of them.

I agree with the other guys, do a newbie sampler! I've did one with every Canadian sponsor shortly after joining up here and was VERY glad I did. I got introduced to some cigars I'd have probably never tried otherwise.

I liked the 90 when I first started paying attention to cigars, but now it is bland/mild to me. I still dig the 1961 and the Decade is ok...

Why, are they on sale or sumptin'?

It is an ok deal, but certainly not the best deals out there, but I like
1 Rocky Patel Edge Lite Robusto Natural, its pretty good.
