Rocky Patel Vintage 1992 Toro

Great construction. Smooth smoke. Enchanting aroma. Darn near a perfect cigar. Ah, who am I kidding? This is a perfect cigar.

Lit this cigar not expecting it to be half as good as it was. Had a very smooth/creamy woody/nutty taste to it. nubbed this sucker.

I purchased a box of these and have yet to have a bad one yet. The burn and draws are perfect, never rolled to tight, and the flavors are great.

I know that I must have bought a defective cigar because nobody else has apparently had this problem. The wrapper on this cigar must have been put on by a kindergarden kid in training to wrap Christmas presents. I can't even rate this cigar for flavor fairly because the entire wrapper peeled off (without my help).

This vintage is another good one for Patel. The look of this cigar is very classy. the dark wrapper and cap was constructed perfectly. The draw and burn was effortless and completely even the whole way down. Flavors of leather and spice, with cocoa and creamy undertones. For 5 bucks, this was a steal!

OK, smoked 5 of these puppies and loved every one. Great looking, feels good in the hand, tasty, burned even all the way to the nub, plenty of smoke

I really wanted to like this cigar. Aesthetically it was very pleasing. That was about it. The draw was impossible. The flavor was nonexistent. The biggest waste of 8 bucks I've ever spent on a cigar

Yikes...what a dogrocket last night. No flavor whatsoever except for cardboard and oxygen. This stick had about a year of box time. You'd better think about treading catiously with these. Value based on $5.

Damn good flavors here. Thank you so much Glenn. He had this boxed for about a year and it showed. When you take a quality cigar and age it nice you sometimes get to blow away your guests. I know Glenn... you smoked the just ok Compay, the Bills lost (again), and I nabbed the best stick in your box...isn't that what friends are for?

Why so Good?...Fabulously,creamy, deep, rich slightly sweet black cherry, spice, and leather fravors made me not want to brush my teeth. Looks, burn, draw all perfect...not a touch up needed till the very nub end. When these are on they can be spectacular. Value based on $5

Nice looking stick, draw flavor is sweet and chocolate like, Mild to Med. A little too pricey for what you get.

This stick felt like I was trying to pull a thick milkshake through a straw! It's not the first stick of this series that was like this. I have 3 sitting in my humi for about 5 months and i'm honestly thinking about trading them off. :-/

I bought a box of these on a whim for about $150. My first Rocky Patel experience. The flavor was great with lots of wood and leather, although the draw on about half of them was way too firm. Thats my pet peeve of cigars. Overall a good smoke.

Since this cigar has pretty good reviews I jumped on a box at a good price. So far I have gone through about 12 sticks and can honestly say that I enjoyed about 3 of them. The flavor is OK.....pretty mild and uniteresting. The bad part is the construction. Two went straight into the trash when the wrappers crumbled and the draw was so tight they could not be smoked. Most of the others had terrible wrappers and medium to very tight draws. An overall terrible experience for me.

What a great cigar. My Bro-in-law gave me two of these as a gift and I can't say I have had a better cigar then this. Dark, sweet, lush smoke, overall a very flavorful and enjoyable cigar. It's what an expensive cigar should be. Nothing less. I am planning on buying more of these for special occassions.

Maybe my first one of these was a little off or maybe something was off with me but I have to revise my evaluation after smoking 2 more of these. Smooth and satisfying from end to end. Great flavors. Good slow burn and even draw.

After being blown away by the 1990, I figured I'd take a step up and try the 1992. Maybe my expectations were just too high. Milder than I anticipated but just OK. I'd take a 1990 or an Edge lite over this anyday. Have to admit it does look great but mine had a hard draw.

Seductive, sexy cigar smoked simply. Solid suck. Slow sizzle. Smooth, salient, subtle spices scintilating. Cigar smoke severely stinky. Should certainly scout seconds! (Sorry. Scotty.)

Rocky Patel vintage series 90 or 92 is an outstaning cigar. Smooth and complex. Great construction and draw. Great Value. You can't go wrong with this cigar.

Get the seconds, they taste just as good.

Nothing fancy. Good burn. Smooth taste with a little spice. Looks great.

Extremely mild and overly perfumy. Light body with virtually no flavor. I am very underwhelmed by this cigar. Very overpriced at $7.25. For $3 I might try another one, but then again, probably not.

Smoked this one on a long walk with the dog. It started out slow, but about 3/4 of an inch to an inch in it warmed up to a nutty, woody winner. Good smoke, even burn, great looking stogie. For $4 a stick (a bargin in NY) it's a winner.

i really thought this was going to be much stronger than it was. great looking cigar with a dark oily wrapper, but the taste was suprisingly mild but had great spicy flavor, for the price this is a darn good deal.

Maybe I am missing something,but my RP`s rate right up there from start to finish.But then people have told me my taste is all in my feet.

after about 25 of these over the past year, they get better all the time................smoother and spicier. Rich smoke with NO bitterness. At $3 on auction, a real bargain!!

I was really looking forward to this smoke after hearing so many good things. Very disappointing. One dimensional, bitter with a terribly uneven burn.

I hard about these sticks and never had an RP before, so these were untested waters. Man, am Iglad I stuck my toe in. A beautifully constructed cigar. It ooks great with a slight box press shape and a wonderful aroma when you pick it up.

The stick gives off a long, straight line of solid white smoke. Clean burn, beautiful toasty flavor that is consistent from start to finish. A real winner.

Got a sampler of these on CBid and let em set for a few months...yum very nice. The construction was great and the burn was perfect with a very good ash. Very good flavor and a nice white ash that held well.

not worth the price. If you can get these for $2.50 each smoke all you can. But if you're paying more than $3 you can do better. If you're a medium bodied smoker you may feel different. Midday flavor and strength and very good box construction.

At 1st this smoke's apperance was very good. The start was excellent & it burned great. It is a mild smoke. Unfortunately that's about as good as it got. The finish was bitter & the wrapper fell apart. There was no value considering the price that was paid. I would not recommend this cigar.

I have smoked about 5 of these over the last few months, and all were consistent in the contruction, draw, burn and flavor.

This was a very average cigar. With the hype and 10 year aging of the wrapper I was expecting more, a lot more. I was let sown by the flavor, the appearance and burn were good but it lacked depth. I have a couple left, I'll put them back in the humidor for a few months and give them another shot.

Well, was so excited to try a 1992 vintage I lit one up straight from the box. Knew it was too dry and needed several weeks to soften up in my humidor...

Terrible draw, too hard, ran up one side. Ugh... My last 1990 vintage was pleasant, with nice flavor and white ash/smoke.

Hate to judge so early, but will try again in a couple of weeks & let everyone know.

I am fairly new to the cigar world, but I have already found favor with the entire 92 series. The smoke is smooth with some nice flavors.

i liked the '90 series better but this one was good too. the burn was a little uneven but otherwise the construction was good. the taste was medium bodied and keeps your attention. i would like to try it again maybe the in a torpedo. the price a paid wasn't too good however.

I happened to be in Bethlehem PA just after Rocky Patel visited the CI store. Got 3 bundles of these for $ 2 a stick. Treated them like $ 2 sticks and herfed up all but 10 over the past 4 months. I like these better than the (2 bundles) 1990 Toros. I know the reviews go the other way but these are better. It's like having a supermodel nymphomaniac as a first girlfirend. Now reality sets in. Come back Rocky come back.

A nice looking, well constructed and slow burning smoke. The best term I can find to decribe it was smooth. Not devoid of flavor, and not mild - it was medium bodied with lots of smoke and a pleasant aroma. An $8 smoke that I would say is priced like an $8 smoke. Not a bargain, but a nice treat.

This is a high value expansive cigar, but the aroma, the taste and the experince are more
than everything. Very close to 10.

Funny I punched this cigar also and had a great draw. Great taste and excellent aroma on this cigar. Very smooth med-body, great flavor. Would like to have had more.

Beautiful box press, punched it and got a great draw. Started off with a runner that corrected itself with a bit of spit. Other than that it burned perfect. Taste was great, really smooth, medium body, lots of smoke.
