Got a pretty good herf together tonight with about 14 other soldiers, marines and a couple civilians. Thanks to Tim (Podman) I had a bunch of smokes to pass around and make sure everyone got something good! I went with a Rocky Patel Sun Grown. I have had nothing but bad luck with RP's and was a little skeptical, but I had read some good reviews on the Sun Grown so I thought what the heck? I gave it a shot.
I was about to puss out and cancel due to some hard core wind and sand being blown around. But, being the NCO that I am, I couldn't let civilians make me look like a puss. So I saddled up and set fire to it.
This thing kicked ass right from the get go. Had a real nice burnt nutty flavor with some creaminess and a little espresso flavors. At the halfway point it did a back flip on me and the espresso sorta flavor became more dominant with a strong nutty flavor and the cream took a backseat.
Very nice surprise! I was prepared to not like it. Sorry for profiling you Rocky, this time I was wrong. The Brigade commander seemed to really like it too, but...Officers; What do they know?
The wind continued to kick up and just about the time I nubbed this bad boy it was time go get some visine. Nothing like some sand in your eyes, ears and teeth to pair with a nice cigar!
