This 6x58 stick is a fantastic smoke. If you read my Rocky Patel Renaissance review you'll know that I'm not a fan of Rocky Patel cigars. I liked the look of this stick and it was one I was unfamiliar with, so I picked it up. It has a nice dark, oily wrapper that has a earthy/coffee aroma to it. It has a Costa Rico Maduro wrapper with Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers. The price is very reasonable, running around $7.
As you light this cigar you get a strong roasted coffee flavor mixed with a few hints of nut here and there. The nut flavor was pretty strong on the finish for the beginning of the smoke. The burn was super even, the draw was great with very litte resistance, and the smoke output was amazing.
2/3's point to the end of the smoke brought a little change, mostly to the finish. A nice leather flavor came into play which blended very nicely with the coffee flavor. The finish changed from the nut flavoring to a basic tobacco flavor. All the flavors blended great for a nice medium-bodied smoke. Rocky Patel gained some points with me today... great smoke.
Stogie Rite score: 97
