Seeing the mixed reviews, I didn't have much hope, but this is a beautiful box-pressed cigar. Burned pretty well, decent buzz, good flavor all the way.

From the beginning, the cut even with a fresh guillotine produced small trimmings which continued throughout the first 3rd. After resting in a well-charged humidor for a week, still difficult to light and keep lit. Once lit and after removing the small pieces from my mouth, the second 3rd was creamy and delicious. And the final 3rd finished richly on the palate. Lots of thick smoke. A solid B. I did enjoy them but they are not high on my repurchase list.

I've been on a light-medium bodied smoke kick as of late, but returned with this RP Honduran maduro. From first taste, it reminded me why I love Rocky's cigars so much. Wonderful flavor, an easy draw that you don't have to fight the cigar for. But first I had a problem with an uneven burn, though to be fair, I think this was due to poor lighting on my part. What bothered me more was that I found that if I left it for a minute or two, it would take a few puffs to get it really burning again. And about an inch in, after I let it sit for a few minutes, it had gone completely out.
I love the flavor, love the box press, the draw is a bit loose but overall pretty good -- it's just kind of a hard to keep lit.

It was my first box pressed cigar. Quite impressive. As usual with RP,excellent draw. Takes a bit getting use to for someone use to a tougher draw. Very flavorful, perfect ash and consistent burn. I sparked one up right out of the UPS box...excellent. 2 months in the humi for the balance..can't wait.

I used to think that the Rocky Patel Sun grown Toro's and Torpedo's were the best cigars I had smoked, but after trying these I may just have to change my mind on that.
These are without a doubt as good if not better than the Sun grown. I am almost ready to say they are better but I can't get myself to do that just yet, perhaps I need to smoke a few more of them to really make up my mind.
This cigar had the great flavor I look for in a cigar and it has great draw that I also look for,they are a well built , well put together cigar.
When you take a puff on these you get all the smoke you can handle and I was completely happy with every aspect of this cigar, without a doubt I would give this cigar a 9 + out of a ten. I will without hesitation buy more of these in the future.
They are an excellent cigar in my opinion.

this is one great cigar, it has a great flavor to it and the draw is exceptional, this is what a cigar should smoke like without a doubt.
I thought that Rocky's Sun Grown were the best but now I am having second thoughts about that after trying these.
These have a great look to them, they are rolled just right with great flavor and they burn fantastic. everything you want in a great cigar.
In my opinion they are one of the best cigars I have tried. Maybe the best so far.

I got 2 of the maduro toro in samplers that came with the boxes of American Markets I bought. I know better, but was anxious to try them given the good reviews. The first one was so so . . . I put the other one into the humidor to rest like I know I should have in the first place.
One month makes all the difference. A bit of an uneven burn but nothing that causes any real issues. A great full bodied maduro flavor - leathery, consistent and smooth from light to nub. It will be a humidor staple. I cna only hope these get as much better with 3 months as they do with one
