"I thought I despised AMS wrappers until this !!!"
Really was surprised by these puppies. I'm usually into medium and full flavored cigars. I got one of these as part of a Rocky sampler (after already having a love affair with the RP Edge and Old World Maduro). I took a look at this cigar and threw it in the Humi thinking I'd hand it out to someone. This morning as I had my first cup of Joe I opened the humi and saw it staring me in the face and figured what the hell. Now I'm not one of those "vanilla and hints of spice" kind of guys. A gar tastes like bad, ok , good and sometimes really good.These were in the really good range. Smooth without the "green" taste that most CT wrappers display. Burned clean, smelled great and looked nice. I daresay I would order a box of these for my morning smokes.

"Lives up to its reputation"
I read the reviews regularly but have never written one, but I bought a box of these based solely on these reviews (and the great deal being offered by Famous) and I was NOT disappointed. Yes, it is a mild smoke, and I am still finding my preferences in the mild-medium categories. But this stick is gorgeous with a lot of flavor happening. I can't normally describe cigars with "tasting" terms, but I swear I tasted vanilla notes, a mild spice, and a light leather as this gem progressed. I have only smoked 3 different Rockys so far, but this is the first to make me go WOW. Well done.

"Very nice..."
Usually smoking medium to full bodied cigars, I got this one in a sampler pack and gave it a try. Very nice looking cigar as are all of Patel's - 'blonde'. The pre-lit fragrance was very light. The cigar didn't feel as tight and packed as normally found with Patel's line. The taste was light and a bit sweet - mellow up until the last inch - very pleasant. I enjoyed this cigar with Gentleman Jack - a nice experience.

"A Rocky Knockout!"
The competition is down for the count - what a great value! I enjoyed my first robusto American Market when I received a nice box of RP Vintage 1990 Maduros. Although I generally smoke a Padron, the sampler pack that came with my Maduros was an eye-opener. My first RP's! I was floored by the mild but aromatic flavor and aroma. Build construction is very nice for this robusto. Draw is plentiful, with a delicious, chewy cap not long after the start. A lot of smoke with this stick. Superb for relaxing. Love the mild aftertaste. A definite winner.

"My favorite perfect everyday cigar"
I first tried Rocky Patel American Market Selection Robusto because I received one free in a sample pack from another Famous Smoke order. My oh my. I was already a Rocky Patel fan before I tried this cigar. I was already a Robusto man, too. I'm telling you, I fell in love with this cigar from my first puff. THIS is how a man's cigar should taste, feel, and smoke. First and foremost, the draw is typical for an RP cigar: outstanding. How these so-called cigar afficianados can compare the perfect draw of an RP cigar to even something like an Arturo Fuente or, dare I say, an Avo or Davidoff, is beyond me. They must be getting paid off by the manufacturers. The draw on any RP cigar is perfect, exactly what the draw SHOULD be on a cigar. There's no struggling with it, no "sucking through a straw" feeling. Just an even, airy, full, and complete draw on the tobacco. Next, for me, is the taste/flavor. The RP American Market Robusto, they say, is medium, and I suppose it is, but that does not mean it is "medium" on flavor. It is full with wood flavors, and mellow, not at all spicy (like RP The Edge). Then, there is the smoke: a nice "big smoke" that comes out with every puff. I bought a box of these last fall, and they right away became my favorite "go to" cigar, in the morning on the weekend with a cup of coffe, or just now as I finished one off this evening next to the fire pit. In the year since I re-started cigar smoking, I have likely sampled close to 50 different cigar brands, and cigar for cigar, Rocky Patel is the only brand that knows how to make a cigar draw like it should. To me, the RP American Market Selection Robusto is the quintessential man's cigar.
