The Rocky Patel Sun Grown Robusto measures 5 1/2x50 with a slightly toothy feel to the dark tan, Ecuadorian Sun Grown Rosado wrapper (aged 5 years). The cigar features a mix of Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Brazilian tobaccos (aged 7 years). Let's get it lit up and start reviewing.
When you get the cigar lit up, you get a very light, creamy, and sweet black pepper flavor with notes of peanut on the finish. There is a spice, but it's very mild, and it's moving in and out of the smoke. Through this point you get a semi-even burn, a tight draw, and good smoke output.
The 2/3's point brings a little more to the palate. A caramel flavor comes in to blend with the creamy, sweet black pepper flavor. A very unique combination. The finish is peppery, still with the spice moving in and out. Through this point, you still have a semi-even burn, the draw is still pretty tight, and the smoke output is great.
3/3's to the end loses a little flavor. The caramel falls off, but the black pepper stays. It's not so creamy anymore, it's more of a sharp pepper. On the finish, you still get pepper notes, but the spice has decided to stay for the end of the smoke. Overall, a basic, enjoyable cigar.
Stogie Rite score: 90
