Rocky Patel Vintage 1992

[TSoprano]

I had always heard of the Rocky Patels but had never tried one...until tonight. I picked one up from the local cigar shop earlier today along with a Cohiba. The first thing I noticed was the pleasant smell of this dark cigar. Lighting up was smooth. The draw is clean and smooth, and burns very evenly. The ash was almost 2 inches long before I flicked it. It was smooth and the taste had hints of toast and coffee. Overall, I was very pleased with this cigar and was well worth the $17.99 I paid for it!

Actually you might have gotten a little screwed if it was still for both cigars.

I agree, I get the robustos for $5.25 each. And thats still a little on the high side, not by much though.

You all have to remember the CA Tobacco Nazi Republic we live in here on the Left Coast. They have imposed very high taxes on all things they deem to be "bad for us". Soon we will have a "sin" tax on Big Macs and Hershy bars her ein California.

That being said the price for that stick may be on the high side still. I would guess he got a churchill or double corona size for that price. My local shop has them all the time and with the taxes and all they are in the low teens for prices.

I love the 92's and they are one of my favorites right now.
