This Cigar is up on the top of my list. The strengh, the burn, the taste. all combine for a investment in happiness. Age them and they are even better.
Got a couple of these in a sampler. I let them rest in my humidor for several months. Both cigars burned poorly and neither had much of a flavor profile. Both cigars also left brown stains on my fingers. I will stick with RP's 1990s and Sungrowns.

30Went to Spain on business travel a couple of months back. At La Cava De Tabacos in Castilleja de la Cuesta I purchased a Monte Cristo Habano #3. The flavor was awesome but the construction was horrible. It had a plug I could NOT get rid of. The Rocky Patel Cuban Blend has all of the flavor, and better construction than the Cuban Monte Cristo.
01I never expected this stogie to taste that good! Right up-front, a Honduran peaty, peppery leather transitions to a peaty, peppery cocoa/chocolate. Retro-spice was pepper and clove(?) with a slight floral nuance. Pretty basic but the flavors combine to be one of the best Hondurans I've ever tried, definitely will buy more.

00One thing I hate to see with customer reviews here is when someone lashes out and says "This cigar is awful, don't buy it." Or something like that. I believe delicious is in the mouth of the beholder, and what I may or may not like could differ from someone else. Such is the case with RP's Cuban Blend. It's a well-made cigar, and the flavor is steady and well-pronounced with dark earthy and leather tones, but I just couldn't get into it. However, if you're into dark flavored maduros like the CAO Brazilia, You might want to give this cigar a chance.
00These came up on monster one night and i bought them on a whim. it ended up being a good thing because these have become one of my favorite cigars. they have alot of flavor to them. The burn sometimes needs a little touch to keep it even but other wise a great cigar
00My sampler pack included five of these smokes. Inconsistant burn, but the taste is what you would expect in a Rocky Patel.
00With all Rocky's, I light one up as soon as I buy them. I have come to learn - especially with this cigar - that age helps. A dark cigar with some sharpness initially, got so much better with just 3 weeks in my humidor. Now, it tastes completely different. Lots of chocolate and coffee now with some very nice spice. I would recommend.
00My first ever Rocky Patel. Light draw with a medium, sweet and spicy taste. First 3rd, burn was uneven and taste got towards medium full. Half way through it needed a bit of correction, taste has a nice spice to it but still very smooth. Great outdoor cigar while enjoying a glass of wine. Not sure it will become one of my favourite but still very enjoyable.
