Rocky Patel Fusion Toro

I recently picked up many Fusions from cigarbid.com....more than I would have liked, truthfully. I have been smoking loads of these lately and my two cents is that the Fusions are different than the 90's and the 92's. Mixing the tobacco have brought a whole new bunch of elements. The elements aren't half bad, but they sure aren't what would be expect from mixing two very good tobaccos. Fusion are OK as seconds, if you can get em' for $2 or less. But I'd take a Pirate's Gold over them anyday.

One of the most enjoyable smokes I've experienced. Well constructed, with a slow even burn. Creamy and smooth. I will buy a box tonight!

Nice looking stick with tighter draw than I prefer. Flavor has improved with time as I wasn't fond of the first one. For my tastes, the MM is a better choice.

This stick has been advertised as a blend of Rocky’s Vintage 1990 and 1992, not that. This cigar stands on its own. This is covered with a light colored leaf. The end view shows a dark band of filler around the lighter colored leafs. Has a nice draw and aroma, the burn was very good. The cigar is smooth and creamy. Has some of the spicy notes of the Vintage series. This is a very enjoyable smoke and a bit smoother than say a Fonseca 5-10-5. Hats off to Rocky again.

Well this is a fine smoke. I really like the Vintage series but this one is the top of the heap. Creamy, earthy complexity in one heck of a tasty smoke. Construction was very good, no problems at all. This is a must try smoke in my book. I will be getting more. This is a smooth smoking and very relaxing smoke to put your feet up with. Oh and a cold one too!

A cigar that burns evenly and tastes smooth.
One of the easiest-finish cigars I've smoked.

This is a nice cigar. Complex flavor that doesn't change yet builds a little through-out. I would call these medium strength full flavor. If you like the Vintage Series you should give these a try.

The first half was a waking dream... burnt sugars (ala 1992...) and subtle creams dominated. The oily wrapper pleased all senses, even sound as it crackled with strong draws.

the Down side... Rockys smokes more then often share the same demise... over-heated endings. almost a charicteristic of the Vintage line, you just cant nub these guys as tar and heat builds.

Still a great smoke, no gimmicks here
