Rocky Patel Vintage 1992

[lambing]

I've never been a big fan of Rocky Patel cigars. I've never understood the hype.
But today I tried a Rocky Patel Vintage 1992 that's been sitting in my humidor for 6 months. True to form, it started out harsh, but about 1/3 of the way, it settled down into a wonderful, enjoyable smoke, with lots of cedar taste. I really enjoyed it. I'm glad to admit I've changed my mind about Patel cigars, and will gladly give them another chance.

I have not been smoking cigars all that long, but the Patels have always been good for me. They are a bit long though, so it takes quite a while for me to smoke one of them.

These are a good smoke from what I remember. There are a lot of cigars I just haven't had in a long time. This is one of them.

Those age relatively fast, I don't know if I have any left. I posted a picture on Cbid of some of these. Smoked one few weeks ago had a nice sparkle to it.

I smoke them every once in a while and really enjoy them. I'd rate the '92 in the high 80's easily...

I find these to be very similiar to Torano Exodus...good smokes!

Just could not get into this cigar. Tried the 90 and the 92 and gave them all away. To each his own.

I've had a few of the vintage 1990. I don't know. Fairly tasty, I wouldn't describe it as loaded with Vitamin N but it gets the job done.

I don't see it as being special or note worthy. I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to get any.
