happy new year!! Can’t go wrong with RP!!

Pleasantly surprised! I'm tasting broth, woods, bread. Hints of spice on the top note. Great aroma too

Ok cigar. Didn’t get a lot out of it.

Not a bad cigar. I dry boxed it for a couple of hours and got a good toast and light, and the draw through a simple straight cut is easy and above average. No particular flavor notes are prominent, but the smoke aroma is smooth and leathery. The burn is good, possibly enhanced by dry boxing. The first ash held on for about two inches before falling on its own but kept burning nicely. I’d have it again without complaint.

Strong cigar. Nice dark, oily wrapper. Good draw, good burn. Chocolate, code and a good amount of spice out of the gate. Gets more balanced and consistently strong in the second third. Earthier and leathery in the last third. Good cigar, just no my favorite

Draw was very tight no matter what I did, This ultimately led to significant burn issues and by the third time it went out around the Galway mark, I threw it out.

A subtle sweet and spicy mix. Gentle draw and basic flavors.

Great build, beautiful cigar. Nice draw, lots of smoke. Spicy, bold, more than I like. It mellows down in the second third. Eventually it gets a bit bitter. Didn’t enjoy it too much. Will let the other one I have age for quite some time to see whether it gets more balanced and mellow. Not my favorite

Overall a really good stick. Construction and draw were perfect. The flavor is smooth, with mild complexity.

Nice smoke. Would get again.

The draw was a bit tight for my preference, requiring an extra puff or two to stoke the ember before getting a nice sized draw off of it. Burned evenly, without requiring touch-ups. The flavor provided some creamy coffee, slightly spicy and sweet notes. The room note was unexpected. The smoke gave off a sweet almost floral quality that was a nice surprise. Overall, this was a fairly complex sensory experience when paired with a smoky scotch.

Starting out very nice. Full flavor, nice draw and good burn. It’s been aging in my humidor for 5 years. Great flavor till the end. Definitely would smoke again.

This was smokeable and not a throw away in any means. It was not harsh or ashy tasting. But The flavor profile was not complex nor was any one thing remarkable. It was underwhelming yet I feel this is an overall delivery that captures the most of a market for not one thing being offensive and a slight variation in the many many offerings of RP which is why many seasoned cigar smokers feel everything tastes the same or similar. If you want a sun grown from Rocky Patel that does deliver the sun grown Maduro which has a white label is the way to go.

Great smoke.

Great flavor, but draw was tough and struggled to keep lit. Still, tasty smoke.
