Rocky Patel Cuban Blend?

[Presideo]

Anybody try these? I'm thinking about getting a box on sale at Famous, but wanted to get an opinion or two before I shell out the doe...

I wouldn't recommend buying a box of any cigar without having tried one first.
As for this cigar, it started off pretty decent then about 1/3 it started to taste bad, almost grassy. Not sure if all are like this, maybe I got a dud.

I just smoked one of my Cuban Blends to give you my opinion of the cigar. The cigar was a medium body and was a little spicy in the first 2-3". The spice did mellow out as I got about 1/2 through the cigar but there was still a little hint of it. Overall I thought the cigar was pretty good and was worthy of its $3-$4 a cigar price range. I have about 10 Rocky Patel Cuban Blend left and would be more than happy to sell you a 5fer or if you want all 10. I don't smoke them too often and they have been in my humidor for a little over a year (I figured its time I clear them out to make room for other cigars). PM me if you interested in buying them and I'm more than willing to put some other cigars together for you to try if you'd like.

I enjoyed the one that I had, but not quite enough to put on top of my buy list.

Thanks 597...I might have to hit you up on the offer since buying a box of a cigar I haven't tasted just isn't wise, even the sale made it tempting....

I'll PM ya tomorrow and go from there...
