"Mild But Not Smooth"
You have to age Rocky's Connecticut blend. I"ve found that out the hard way. I knew better, but I anxious to smoke this with a good sippin whiskey at a campfire. So basically I smoked it before its time. These are mild, but not smooth when they don't have at least 8-12 months in the humidor. They actually taste a bit green. This one had about 4 months of age so, it wasn't the greatest of pleasure, but still I had a good time. Hope you are more patient.

"Mild...Did I say MILD?"
Theres a place in the world for a mild cigar and in that realm this cigar certainly exists. Is it too mild? Perhaps, but its completely in context as a mild smoke even if it does fall on the bland side. A recommended smoke for newbies and a nice morning smoke for someone who does not desire an "in your face" type flavor. Nothing offensive here...Just real mild.

"eh"
Im a fan of milder smokes with a lot of flavor behind them, and as a mild cigar smoker these things lacked any flavor whatsoever. It was like I was sucking on air, or wet grass. I think this cigar is loaded with young tobacco. Burn and construction to it's credit were very good.

"too mild"
I have previously had the toro which was more flavorful. Top 25 has these also listed under RP Vintage but the size of the torpedo is wrong there. Very good construction on this cigar. Loose draw an d tons of smoke but too mild.

"Acrid"
I have had one of these before and it was great, but this one was extremely bitter. I purged it, but no matter what it tasted like burnt rubber. I put it down half way. That said, I enjoyed my first one, so I'll average the rating out accounting for the positive first experience.

"A Very Good Mild Smoke"
Another Rocky Patel winner. This was a very nice cigar. Burn and draw were excellent. No corrections were needed on this particular cigar. The flavor was mild and was consistent throughout and complimented my cup of columbian coffee.

"Excellent mild"
Won a 5pack on cbid, probably one of the better mild cigars i've smoked. The flavor is pretty much the same throughout but this cigar has such a creamy-buttery taste to it that it didn't really matter. If you're looking for a mild one, this RP is the way to go. I can see myself smoking more of these

"Creamy and great"
Wow! This is a great cigar. Not a lot of flavor but it doesn't seem to matter. Very creamy with loads of smoke. Great draw and beautiful construction.

"Mild"
This baby gives you just what you are asking for. Enjoyable to smoke for those looking for something mild. Real consistent all the way around. Will keep some in the humidor for my friends who like the lighter side of life.

"May corner the mild market"
This was a relaxing experience. Attractive, well made smoke that has become a early morning favorite. Coffee and this stick were made for each other. The smooth, creamy with just a hint of sweetness makes for an excellent start to the day. At $4 a stick they're a steal.

I'm looking at this from the perspective of how my friend Dave (a newbie) responded to this cigar

"Fantastic"
Beautiful draw, near perfect burn, volumes of rich creamy smoke...awesome. The strength was mild, and the flavor profile reminded me of the CAO Gold line, a little. Although this had less of a fruit tinge and probably one of the creamiest bases that I have ever tasted in a cigar. Just outstanding all the way around. If you enjoy a mild cigar, make sure that this one is on your list. Definitely a staple in my humidor from now on.

"Beautiful"
This is my second box and the consistency is unbeliveable. I find them beautiful to see, feel, and smoke. They are mild and I prefer them early in the day with a strong coffee. I also enjoy them while driving. I haven't found them hard to draw but I humi them to about 68%. I will buy more.

"Excellent Connecticut"
This cigar is a quality rolled and blended smoke with a great roll and flawless construction. It burnt razor straight all the way down to the nub. Perfect draw very good ash, jsut a great morning or early pm smoke. I do like my smokes stronger than this, but I really liked this cigar. Great flavor and very smooth and mellow. Tried 2 and had to buy a box. One good smoke Rocky, slaute!

"a real treat"
I got this in a sampler and it delivered on the "Mild and Mellow". Quality exudes from this cigar. The wrapper is beautiful and the construction is near flawless. The smooth draw and flavor are your rewards. This is a mild cigar with character, somewhat hard to find in this crazy market. A real treat

"good smoke hard draw"
Had one with a friend, it was great, very smooth medium smoke with lots of smoke, never bitter or hot. They are a very nice looking cigar, quite attractive. Went out and got a box. Have had three and they have all been very hard and the draw is very tight. I will let them sit in the Humi for a while and see if they improve.
