Rocky Patel Summer 2008

Krieg

I saw this cigar at my local B & M and was wondering if anyone has tried this one yet. I never heard of it, must be new or I live under a rock.

Haven't tried it, but Rocky does have a lot of lines out there. I think there is an autumn blend as well. If you keep a look out, there's a lot of new stuff to try...almost too much to keep up with!

i have one but have not lit it up. Ill wait till summer 09.

That is one of my favorite smokes. I've still yet to try the Autumn but the Summer is excellent, spicy and full bodied. Habano wrapper with a cameroon binder.

Krieg

i guess I will give it a try, maybe I can get to the B&M this weekend before the big game and pick one up.

The Summer was a one time run too. Once its gone, thats it.

Say it aint so...I only bought two, and one has already been reduced to a pile of ashes. Now I don't want to smoke the other one, even though I do.

madurofan

Tis so. I did hear a rumar that it was very successful so he'll probably do it again next year.

I've heard the summer blend was really good but I didn't get to pic any up. A friend of mine has one of the Atumn blends resting right now. Smells good! I'm gonna pick up a couple of those.

If you want a Summer, let me know I'll pick some up for you.

just lit up the winter blend...BAM.. probably gonna wish I had more to eat today

madurofan

LOL it is full. I picked a couple up the other day. Its a good smoke but I thought it was a little young. Through the nose I got a tinge of ammonia. Did you experience the same?

Incidentally, since we're talking RP, I never see anyone else talking about the Meritage. Has anyone else here tried one, and if so, did you just not like it. I've had two and I think they're amazing, probably my favorite RP, at least one of the top two or three blends.

Meritage? Never seen one...

urbino

There was some talk about it around here somewhere, not long ago. Do a search on it.

Luko

Search complete...found an assload of mentions. All by Luko...I gotta herf with this cat, he has good taste.

urbino

Ha. Damn. I would've sworn I'd seen j0z3r weigh in on the Meritage, at some point.

Joe must be in the " Million Smoked " Club by now with his three to five a day lifestyle.. And never a Meritage mention ? Impossible.

j0z3r

Sorry to disappoint, I don't even know what a meritage is. Is that a hyrbid word? like, something that start with "M" and heritage? Me no speaky Patelanese.

Another "Speaking of RP" but a B&M had a RP event here a few months back and they got a bunch of boxes of RP Maduro of Costa Rica. These seems to be part of Rocky's "travelling stock" that arent available anywhere else. The first one i smoked was awesome, the other one i let sit for 4 months and it was even better. Anyone else find these? I've included them in some of my bombs but if anyone is interested let me know, my shop still has a bunch left.

PuroFreak

It's funny that I was reading about the Winter Blend on here yesterday because I had a friend call me and he was at the B&M and found some. He picked us up a few so I will get to try this one out soon! I tried the Autumn blend and I have to say I was not impressed. It was mild and really didn't have a lot of flavor. I have a lot higher hopes for the Winter!
