Hello everyone, today I am reviewing the Rocky Patel Vintage 2003. This is my first Rocky Patel review for 2012, and I have heard good things about it so I’m pretty pumped to find out if he’s hit a home run or struck out. Anyway, I found this cigar at the Smoke Stack in North Providence for my Rhode Island readers. So with the history behind us, I am now ready to give you my verdict on if it passes the mighty “Stew” test or not.
CIGAR MAKE UP:
WRAPPER: Cameroon
BINDER & FILLER: Nicaraguan / Nicaraguan
Length/Ring: 6.5 X 52
Strength: Medium
Price: $7.55
My Observations: This is a very nice looking cigar that was rolled perfectly. I say this because of its nice medium brown leaf wrapper that is surrounded by small non noticeable veins. On my finger touch inspection I found no soft spots.
- Over all “A” in the grading department
Cigar Label: Blue and white. Very nice touch Mr. Patel
Snip: Straight cut.
Pre-Draw: Spice.
Flavors: The 1st third of this cigar consisted of a small touch of spice, and lots of leather. The 2nd third consisted of coffee, leather, wood. The last third continued with these flavors and that’s how it finished out.
Draw: Perfect
Burn line: Nice and even.
Liked it: Yes
Recommend it: Yes.
Over All
Until Next Time
Stew
