Rocky Patel Decade

[Loudpipes78]

I had one Saturday at the Cigar Heritage Festival in Ybor. I think they were mis-priced at $7.20 a stick but who am I to argue about a deal in my favor.

I went with the Lonsdale size since they were limited on what they had.

It was a good smoke for the money but after the 4 previous cigars I was kinda done.

Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the smoke but I don't think I was that much more impressed by it than an Olde World Reserve.

They were doing buy 3 and get a free OWR deal so I still have a decade left to try and an OWR to compare it to.

I think with some age the cigar could be a lot better, it seemed very fresh.

A local B&M just got some of these in and said they were very popular. May have to stop by and pick one up to try.

Had a couple of these when they first came out. About 10 bucks here (40% tobacco tax) Not a bad cigar but not really worth a 10 spot. Don't know how it managed a 95 rating from CA (well, actually, I think I do.) I'd smoke one if somebody gave me one, but not in my regular rotation. Probably should be a $6-7 stick.

Gonna have to agree with Shelby. Not a bad smoke. Matter of fact, it was really good. But I wouldn't say it was better than the Serie V which is in the $6-7 range. Then again, I got it as a gift so that made it extra good.
