Rocky Patel 1961 Robusto


Good Morning.  Got another nice stick here from your friends at Cigars for Warriors.  A Rocky Patel 1961 Robusto.  Comes in at 5x50.  I love the look of this smoke.  Beautiful dark brown wrapper, tight seams, and a cool looking band.  Pre-light: nice sweet tobacco smell with a touch of spice.


Cutting/Lighting: punch cut, toasted up with no problems.  First taste are of a delicious sweet tobacco with a hint of nuts.  Nice draw on it also.


First 1/3: More of the same. Just a nice sweet nut and tobacco flavor.  Lots of creamy smoke.  Medium body and strength.  The finish is short but no worries.


Second 1/3: Starting to add in a little spice now that I can feel on my tongue in the finish.


Final 1/3: still with that sweet tobacco, nut, spice flavor.  Defiantly a solid medium in the strength category.  Smoke time was just under an hour.

Overall: A little stronger than I expected, which isn't a bad thing.  This was the first RP I have had and I was not disappointed.  At around $7-8 a smoke not a bad choice, I just might have to pick up some in a larger size. Hooah!
