"what the heck happened to these??"
This has been my winter cigar for about 2 years. Constantly re-ordered and always enjoyed. Until this box, that is! from my calculations, this is box #8 or #9. BAD burn, BAD construction and not a great tasting cigar! I really hope that I just got a bad box..cause I really felt that these were the greatest short, inexpensive cigar out there. Now, (and since the price seems to have gotten higher) they're just a cheap cigar. Last night I found one from a past box and it was extacy..this morning I had one fron the new box..agony! That was the 4th or 5th out of the new box and they've all pretty much been the same.

"Nice cheap smoke..."
.....But well worth the money. My favorite morning sitting in traffic with a cup of coffee cigar. Short burn time and for such a small smoke good flavor.

"Big cigar taste, small cigar"
I am not a fan of small cigars. They never taste like a regular size one, at least not to me. I recently bought a box of Rockey Patel Juniors(maduro). I just lit one up right out of the box. The taste was fantastic,thought I was smoking one of his regular size cigars. Is there any of his larger cigars with that exact blend?

"Tasty, great price"
A lovely taste-bomb. Rich, chocolaty, chewy-tasting. Medium-bodied. Not too much of a throat-scraper. Just a hint of ammonia perhaps? Overall excellent flavor. The batch I got had quite a bit of white crystal plume coating them.
Padron? Almost twice the price, but smaller and not a contender.

"Not Terrible but not Great ."
I bought these as a Monster Deal one day, as I was already a big fan of RP.I thought these would be great for a quick smoke at the office. These have an OK construction, the initial burn is very harsh and bitter. I had to keep spitting the first quarter inch. The smoke mellows and blooms into a peppery,full flavor. As the burn got closer to yje head of the stick it became harsh again. I expected a little more consistency from RP. I would not recommend these as there are better buys on the market. Try the Patron line it has some of the same full body taste at a friendlier price.

"Wonderful Little Cigar"
These are great when you don't have an hour or so to spend with a regular cigar. Very flavorful, easy draw, nice even burn and a pleasure in those times where you just don't have the time for a full cigar.

"FAN..........TASTIC"
GREAT LITTLE CIGAR FOR THE DOG WALKERS OF THE WORLD. BURNS CLEAN AND THE TASTE BUDS SALIVATE FROM THE ROCKY PATEL FLAVOR.

"Fantastic small full bodied cigar"
I recieved a box of 50 as a freebe. I enjoy them immensely. I shared them with several friends and they all had very favorable feedback. I'll keep a stock of them always in the humidor for a quick smoke alternative.
