"One of the best"

Watch out premium cigars, a new contender has entered the arena. This is a truly fantastic experience. Having read a handful of reviews that recommend the RP 1990, I picked up this torpedo from my tobacconist today. I initially thought I was in for another dud, because the cigar I had did not perform remarkably well pre light and at the very beginning. Pre light the smell and flavor were just that of another bargain stick. The initial flavors upon lighting were just basic tobacco and dry wood, nothing to get excited over. About 1/3 in, this cigar opens up and becomes truly remarkable. There is a leathery sweetness that persists throughout the cigar that is like nothing I have experienced. It is smooth, woody, molasses sweet, oily, with a flawlessly perfect draw and a ton of smoke output. It’s a long lasting stick. I’m nearing the end of mine after about 90 minutes, and I smoke fast. Flavor after the first third develops better than possibly anything I have ever had. Burn and mouthfeel are perfect. It’s creamy and interesting, in that it seems to fluctuate between mild and sweet, and then medium and leathery. It’s giving me everything I could ask for. In my humidor, I have Ashtons, Avos, Davidoffs, Padrons...and this $8 cigar has delivered at least an equal quality to any of those premiums. This one has permanently cemented itself in my wheelhouse of cigars I will seek out, and love.

"Love Em"

cant say anything bad about these sticks lover the creamy taste and smooth draw

"Definitely a favorite !!!"

Bought these for the golf course, and absolutely love them... excellent draw, splendidly smooth, flavor is outstanding... I will keep this one in my top 3 !!!

"Just a Great Smoke!!"

These cigar is fantastic! Great draw, nice finish, great flavor!

"Cherry Torpedo Away!!"

Was my first Torpedo. These Patel's are great. This one had a great Cherry smell to it, and is one of the best Cigars I have ever had. A little spendy if you are on a tight budget. Never was much of a Patel fan, but I am now.

"Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Torpedo"

One of my favorite gars (In my top 3).. Great flavor and was smooth from start to finish. I would say this cigar would be a medium flavor although it claims to be a full flavor cigar..This cigar stays pretty much consistent all the way through. A good buy.. I even given this to friends who don't normally smoke cigars and all of them said, "I like this one!" A must try!

"My New Favorite"

I've tried many different smokes, and out of them all, this is my favorite. The draw, the taste, all of it, simply great. I cant go to my locoal cigar club without getting a few of these. If you like a maduro thats not too strong, but still has some strength, then this is a must try.

"CAVED IN MY HEAD TRYING TO GET A PUFF!!"

I BOUGHT 3 OF THESE AT MY LOCAL CIGAR SHOP AND ALL OF THEM WERE PLUGGED. THE DRAW WAS SO DIFFICULT I THOUGHT MY HEAD WAS GOING TO CAVE IN. THEY GAVE ME MY $ BACK AND I WILL NOT BE TRYING ANOTHER ONE.

"great"

This cigar beats out the padron aniversario. One of the best cigars ive ever had. Perfect draw, burn, construction, appearance. This cigar has it all!!! Bought 4 boxes of each a different size.

"Ouch! Burned my fingers!"

Wow! Just sneaked down to my hangar in the middle of the day to smoke this lovely cigar. I may have to do this more often! The draw was absolutely effortless. The burn got a little uneven at one point, but seemed to work itself out.(I should've given her some humidor time, but couldn't wait!) The wonderful flavors began immediately as a strong latte with walnuts on the side and grew more complex as the smoke went on to a smooth, orange mocha finish. Never a hint of harshness or burn to the throat. I have found my favorite cigar. Thanks, Mr. Patel.
