Rocky Patel R4 Toro Corojo

It lights fine, draws fine, looks fine, but it ain't fine. It was close to average, but, well, no prize on these..to call them average would be generous. They turn to mush and are bland...glad i only bought 5 at auction. If they were .25/stick and i had nothing else, then i'd get them again...maybe....well, nahh...probably not.

Basically devoid of any distinguishable flavor, other than pepper, for the entire first half it does develop a very slight woody taste in the second half. I can't understand how RP could roll up this much tobacco and it fail to have any flavor to speak of. How do you do that? It is light in the hand and has a very fragile wrapper but burns very well with a loose draw. Not a throw away but definitely a giveaway. Something to puff on when pepper and nicotine will do.

I, as Spotmark, got the introductory special from CI and I agree these are garbage. Lousy taste, but perfect for giveaways to make room for real smoke in your humi. A buddy of mine here at work raves about certain RP lines, but this ain't one of 'em.

Bought these when they first came out from CI. It was an introductory special that worked out to be $1.88 stick. IMHO they aren't even worth that. Just a poor tasting, dry as sawdust cigar. I love Rocky Patel cigars, but not this one. I keep them in my humidor at work, and hand them out as often as I can. I can't wait for them to be gone. Spend an extra dollar a stick and buy the RP Vintage seconds, don't even consider these. Sorry Rocky, but you screwed up with these.
