That's not right, he shoulda' bought you a drink and at least offered you a box of his many doggy rockets that he is notorious for making:stretchgr
I used to think Rocky Patel was the best for a while (As far as non-cubans go) but then I ran into Oliva and now all the Pepin cigars. With stuff like Serie V and Tatuaje I don't care much about RP's new stuff. The 1992 is still good, I have a couple fivers hidden in the bottom of my cooler. I'll probably revisit them sometime.
I actually preferred the Vintage 1990 and Sungrown to the Vintage 1992.
Mr Patel does make some good cigars, but I wouldn't compare any of his offerings to habanos. Actually I'm not sure why anyone compares cigars from Nicaragua, Honduras, etc. to those from Cuba. A good cigar will stand on it's own no matter where the tobacco is grown.
BTW mr008 ... are you arguing with yourself in that first post?

I concur with joshua. To begin with RPs were premier in my smoking. As my experience has expanded and my palette has taken in a broader range of flavors I'm finding the RP profile to be just one of many I enjoy and none a current favorite, though Vintage 92s and Sungrowns are an essential part of my lineup. The rest have only been passing acquaintances.
