Rocky Patel Sun Grown Petit Corona

I tried 2 of these and I didn't find this cigar nearly as bad as some other reviewers. The burn was even, good drzw, and had a nice flavor for 30-35 minutes. In fact I just ordered a box for $86 to smoke as my everyday cigar. A 9 pack Rocky P sampler was also included free with free shipping. I think this is a pretty good cigar for this price.

Beautiful construction, but this one had such a bad taste, I literally became sick after smoking it. Rushed Rushed Rushed in the manufacturing process, thats all I can say. Way too many chemicals. In fact this is typically a Patel cigar. All others also had too many chemicals in it.

The first few draws tasted lik a chemical stick, a very bitter unpleasant taste. After the first 3rd was gone, the middle opened up and was quite tasty, nice draw and a pleasure to smoke. The last 3rd reverted back to the bitter taste and left a foul taste in my mouth. Will not be buyig these again and the rest of the box will be given away

I found this stick lacked depth and flavour. I've had several so far and always finish off thinking I should have had something else. I might give a larger stick a try if the price is right.

Have always been a fan of rocky, and it continues with his sungrown line. Nice draw considering it's size and didn't overheat. Mild peppery spice throughout then the last 1/3 was sweeter. Decent finish, would buy again.

At first this tasted like a chemical stick. After the first inch it was absolutely wonderful. More towards the lighter side for a sun grown.

There’s a lot of power packed into this little cigar. It starts up with a burst of pepper that burns off after a minute or two, then it picks up some sweet flavors -- chocolate and coffee -- and stays rich but smooth almost to the end, where it does get a bit rough. A potent little smoke, and well worth 4 bucks and 30 minutes of your valuable time.

Seeing that V RP 1990's are one of my all time favorite cigars and I have enjoyed several others that he makes, these have been a disappointment. Perhaps I got a bad batch but I would not buy these again if these five were representative. The cigar burned well and like Darbarian said they are beautiful. But the flavor was not there. I'll try them again sometime perhaps in a different size. Based on these tho they are a bland no go for me.

This is a nice little smoke that burns well tates smooth and spicy. I was impressed by the smoothness of the wrapper, I could barely find a seam! You can find these for under 4 bucks each if you shop around.

This little cigar was quite nice. It was very full flavored and had kind of a dark taste to it. Lots of thick smoke.
It was a little short for me, I would like to try the Robusto and compare.

The Robusto is a much better cigar. Two pieces both exhibited the same tangy nastiness overbearing on the otherwise nice toasty and spicy flavors. The burn was good to about 1 inch, but it never recovered from the tangy tones to make a decent showing.

Overall, a very good petit corona. I agree with other comments about its looks and with JDG's comments about this being a better value than the Ashton VSG Tres Mystique. To me, this has less bite and is more enjoyable. A keeper.

This is an attractive, dark, and firm little cigar. It draws and burns very well. Its best characteristic is the solid construction; it does not get damp or mushy at the end. It's on the strong side, delivering steady earthy and woody flavors. There is a vegetal taste on the finish. Some time in the humidor should help bring out this cigar's potential.

First or all I will say that I love PC's and this is a beautiful specimen. Nice dark oily wrapper with almost no visible veins. I clipped'er and she drew very easy. First puff and I could tell this was a powerhouse. The only problem is all that strength and no flavor. I purged it a couple of times and it still had a charred and acrid finish. After waiting for this thing to switch gears I put her out halfway through. I will not be smoking anymore of these unless they are free and I have no cigars left...which probably will not happen. I enjoy tasty sticks and really only smoke for flavor and relaxation, so I will clarify that this is not a dog rocket just not what I was looking for. A decent stick if you're out washing the dog or cleaning gutters.

Maybe they just need a long nap. I had the same experience with the Davidoff Millennium blend PC. I tossed that puppy out the window going down the highway.

Being a n00bie, I would say that this is a decent cigar for the money. It was the first that I have tried out of the Rocky Patel line, but overall it was a very good Petit Corona. It had a great looking dark oily wrapper, and smelled a bit spicy. The ash was light grey and stayed put for a little over an inch. I'm used to the Ashton VSG Tres Mystique as my small cigar, but this is a far better value for an everyday stick, and probably will keep the wife happier with a bit more money in the pocket

I'm ok with this cigar, but it doesn't live up to the 92 Vintage line. Not much depth, but the taste of the wrapper carries the day. Solid construction and appearance. If you can get them for about 80/box, their worth it.
