Rocky Patel,friend or foe?

JPH · 04-15-2009, 07:29 PM

Once upon a time I liked the RP sungrown... no others though.

I really like the Decades and the Old World Reserve Maduros. The Vintage lines aren't bad either. I liked the first couple R4 maddies I smoked, but they're not tasting so good any more.

All in all... I would say RP is a friend!

I love the RP sumatra and the double maduro fusion.

I couldn't care less about the man. I did enjoy the OWR and the Decades, but haven't had one in a long time and have no interest to go back. Im just waiting for when he comes out with his Monday thru Sunday blend cigars.

He has some great blends and so does Pepin. You need to smoke what you like and smoke what you like. I like a whole bunch of the stuff that Rocky blends and smoke a bunch of them but I prefer the blends coming out of Oliva. Both Rocky and Pepin create more new blends than there are whores in New York City Times Square but their good ones are worth smoking. I suggest the Vintage series and the Edge series for Rocky and the Black and Blue for Pepin.

I agree with you completely, Paul!

I'm a fan, if not for the fact that he pushes so hard to keep taxation at a minimum, and fights hard for our passion as cigar smokers. On to his smokes, I love the OWR maduro, Sungrown, and ITSF as a great value smoke. All of these blends are available at rock bottom pricing as 2nds that look/smoke/taste just like 1sts IMO, and for that my wallet likes him too.

I think RP is good for the industry in general. I really enjoy his Sun Growns and Vintage 90's. I'm big on getting the best bang for my buck, so the 2nd and x-out versions of these are right up my alley

I think it's great to offer these as an option for people who don't necessarily need a fancy box or band.
