"No more RP cigars for me"
I will also be writing a similar review for the other RP cigars that I ve tried recently. Having smoked many cigars, many varieties from most name brands, If I was to compile a list of favorite cigars, I would have to put RP near the very bottom. I ve been consistently disappointed with RP cigars.
This one in particular tasted like a relit cigarette no matter what I did. Tried one upon arrival and after a week in the humidor, both tasted equally awful. Unlike other RP s that I ve tried, it did burn equally until I couldn t stand it anymore; and there s not many cigars that I haven t been able to finish!

"Somewhat disappointing"
Having a healthy respect and love for Rocky Patel cigars I was slightly disappointed. The construction and draw are classic Rocky. Color and aroma are just as good. The disappointment came with the taste. I'm not one of those guys that will tell you that is was "almondy with a slight hint of sweet wine". I will tell you this though, the taste was not classic Rocky. It actually tasted like one of those cheap cigars you bought (and I hope you never do) at the local gas station. These little cigars look, smell, feel, draw and burn great, but it fails to impress when it comes to taste. Maybe you'll like it but I recommend that you don't buy the box without trying the 5 pack first.

"Excellent"
This is the best tasting petite corona I have ever smoked. Lots of flavor, nice coffee/coaco after taste on the palete.
Not harsh and burns even. Better if kept in the humidor for a few weeks.

"Bad Value"
I was looking for a good 30 minute or so spa cigar that I wouldn't have to toss half of. These would work great except for one thing.... flavor. Starts out kind of harsh and papery, finish is bitter, with hints of sulpher and burnt rubber. Rather toss 2 bucks worth of one of my corojo # 5s than smoke one of these @ 3.50 per stick.

"Disappointing"
Very disappointed from hearing good things about this cigar. But after I lit it up there was an uneven burn, and didn t taste like anything. Very unenjoyable.
