BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
rocky patel the champ?

April fools was a couple days ago.
Rocky Patel is a great guy -- one of the nicest I have met. Probably the most passionate person about cigars there is.
His sticks are very good, and I have a couple boxes, especially the '92 Vintage (got a box of Sixties with awesome plume!). But there are also way better sticks out there! And everybody does have their own opinions, but the fruity, nutty flavors I'm getting out of the Vintage line tastes nothing like any of the Habanos I have ever smoked. I think Cabaiguans are some of the most Cuban-esque cigars out there right now.
I would never say anything bad about Rocky or his cigars, but they are nothing like Cubans and in my opinion there are cigars out there that are much better. Although I do enjoy hearing everyone's opinions on cigars. That's why there are so many different brands out there today -- because everybody likes something different!

Actually, that sentence should read:
Rocky is definitely a real decent stick, only a fool would say otherwise.
And then this one should read:
By the way, Brett Favre retired, hello losing season.

You should try some of these, when done correctly, they tend to make people not look so uneducated.

I'm not a big RP fan, but there are alot of people that like them. Different strokes for different folks. However, I disagree with your assertion that RP makes the closest thing to a cuban cigar. There are others that come to mind before that imo.
The RP Vintages are both very good smokes, in my opinion. And in the near future, I plan on buying plenty of 'em. But I'd agree with others that they're not as Cuban-like as other sticks I've smoked. Then again, that's sort of a good thing--I like variety, and if everything tried to be Cuban, I'd be a little sadder. I like Nicaraguan sticks that taste Nicaraguan, and Honduran sticks that taste Honduran, etc.
