Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve Torpedo Maduro

Bought 15 from a local shop. Smoked one before a meal...after...with wine...with beer...with G2...bar none best smoke I have had...I smoke 3-4 sticks a day(not these, mainly CAO or 5Vegas)...this puppy has the best draw...best overall aroma...best finish...oh yeah,the best taste. Big price but it beats the big dogs.

I liked this cigar and I think I am a tough person to please. Beautiful aroma, excellent burn, cedar and toasty flavor with some spice and a good kick. Got 6 free at a RP event.

I got these from my local store who had Rocky in for a promo. I have long been a fan of the Vintage, Edge and Sun Grown. Now that I tasted these, I'll have to shell out the$8.50 at the store.

This is my favorite cigar. I love the way it tastes, looks and smokes. But at $11- $14 a stick retail, I can pick up 2 RP Vintage '90s or RP Edge Lites which I like almost as much.

These are by far the best I have ever had...... too bad they are also too pricey for new dad.

Picked five up at a B&M and they are worthy. I'd agree for the most part with the RP website- these are somewhere a cross between the Vintages and the Edge. If you find one, give it a try if you like the Rocky profile.

Picked these up at a shop tasting and got to meet Mr. Patel himself. This was very full flavored, especially once warmed up. Excellent complexity in the typical RP style. They really are tasty, but quite potent.

i dunno what else to say, but i think this is the best cigar. chocolate, coffee, its perfect to me. well worth the price in my opinion.

I smoked an earlier RPOWR maduro torpedo and it was delightful... like some kind of bizarre Padron goes to Bombay and gets doused with flowery nector kind of thing... I bought a box. Now I am wondering why. I have had one really great smoke from the box... the rest have been relatively muted, flat tasting and they burn horribly. It's all I can do to keep one lit without holding a direct flame up to it.

I love this cigar as well as the robusto maduro. Great, full smoke, smooth taste that evolves wonderfully, beautiful dark gray thick ash that grows to over an 1 inch before it even starts to break off. Only issue I have is the price, for another couple of bucks, I get get great Habanos. I still bought 10 of these and 10 of the robustos, so I must be a fool for a great cigar.

Finally they took care of the super thin outside wrapper. It was a B*&^ch to remove and you risked scarring the cigar wrapper when removing.

The maduro has grown out of favor with me to a degree. The first boxes were very good. The recent batches werent as good.

Similar to the tatuaje the second batches werent as good.

And I agree with the earlier poster about the price. They are not worth the price-at least anymore.

Id buy more at 7 or 8$ per stick.

But they are definetely better then the Edge(ick)

My local has these around 11 bucks ... if I could get them at 6 I would buy a bunch to have on hand. Over 10 bucks they're into some serious competition and I don't think these are as good as many others in that price range. Anyhow, the ones that I bought were nicely rolled but one was not perfectly symmetrical. I would have relegated this one to seconds. Construction otherwise was excellent. Nice oily wrappers. I thought these were smooth, medium-full body, sort of an aged Edge.

This little guy has some pop to it, with a nice oily wrapper and is some what veiny. The pre lit draw was smooth with hints of wood and a taste of coffee. The foot lit even and burned even all the way to the nub. The taste was medium with notes of some wood and coffe and just the hint of pepper on the finish. Not a bad Manduro.
