"Very nice..."
Usually smoking medium to full bodied cigars, I got this one in a sampler pack and gave it a try. Very nice looking cigar as are all of Patel's - 'blonde'. The pre-lit fragrance was very light. The cigar didn't feel as tight and packed as normally found with Patel's line. The taste was light and a bit sweet - mellow up until the last inch - very pleasant. I enjoyed this cigar with Gentleman Jack - a nice experience.

"I thought I despised AMS wrappers until this !!!"
Really was surprised by these puppies. I'm usually into medium and full flavored cigars. I got one of these as part of a Rocky sampler (after already having a love affair with the RP Edge and Old World Maduro). I took a look at this cigar and threw it in the Humi thinking I'd hand it out to someone. This morning as I had my first cup of Joe I opened the humi and saw it staring me in the face and figured what the hell. Now I'm not one of those "vanilla and hints of spice" kind of guys. A gar tastes like bad, ok , good and sometimes really good.These were in the really good range. Smooth without the "green" taste that most CT wrappers display. Burned clean, smelled great and looked nice. I daresay I would order a box of these for my morning smokes.

"Rocky Knows How to Make Them!!"
A bit fast at the start, then it mellows down and has a great smooth flavor. Not overpriced at all. Burned great, amazing draw, looks amazing and never gave a hint of ripping apart. A MUST TRY FOR ALL ROCKY AFICIONADOS!

"Worth every cent"
This cigar is a must--especially for the price.

"A bit weak, but a good cigar"
This cigar is definitely for those who prefer a mild smoke. Lots of smoke, but very mild. A bit flat on the flavor, but enjoyable. As is normal with Rocky Patel, the construction is excellent. This cigar earns an 85 for those who go mild.

"A Rocky Knockout!"
The competition is down for the count - what a great value! I enjoyed my first robusto American Market when I received a nice box of RP Vintage 1990 Maduros. Although I generally smoke a Padron, the sampler pack that came with my Maduros was an eye-opener. My first RP's! I was floored by the mild but aromatic flavor and aroma. Build construction is very nice for this robusto. Draw is plentiful, with a delicious, chewy cap not long after the start. A lot of smoke with this stick. Superb for relaxing. Love the mild aftertaste. A definite winner.
