Newbie Review #15 Rocky Patel Vintage 1990

[Dru Lee Parsec]

I would also say this smoke is newb appropriate, and probably recommended as a good first bridge to more full cigars.

I think that's a great way to put it. As for the chocolate taste pre light: I've noticed that on other cigars as well. I don't know why that is.

Yeah, these are great cigars. Makes me want to put my mild cigars down on the bottom of my humidor.

I LOVE THE RP '90 and '92s but I usually smoke the Toro size. The same things do seem to hold true.

Every try the 2nd's? They aste just as good as the full price line. the only difference I've noticed is they dont have bands and might have some discoloration, but not differance in draw or taste. The 2nds are very inexpensive and a great way for a newbie to start stocking up their humidor with real good, inexpensive sticks. As a Life Coach, I recommend them to all my clients.

Super review. Bought some 2'nds once and wasn't all that impressed. Gonna have to give them another shot though. The whole world can't be wrong.

I have not had this little shape, but I do love the churchies. They have a lot of chocolate flavor in the smoke too. Yum One of my favorites.

Not meaning to hijack, are the seconds box-pressed too? That would make a big difference, wouldn't it, if they were rolled the same, but not pressed?

I have not had this little shape. In fact I don't remember even seeing them. But I do love the dbl coronas. They have a lot of chocolate flavor in the smoke too. Yum One of my favorites.
