snds good brotha,....
just had rocky patel fusion.........fckn disgusting.........didnt like the taste of the dual wrapper.....i hated the ash on this stick....i had to keep ashing it .....the white ash was crumbling......and difficult time with the draw, first i punched it, then i cut it....and still bad.......
im slowly losing interest in rp, but i still love his vintage 99 and his connecticut
I honestly think RP is making his fanbase lose interest himself, in fact hes driving loyal smokers away with poor quality, acidic tasting brands that used to be delicious, all the while trying to lock in high prices. How do you have quality issues and decide to raise prices? I gave up on RP a few months back after an awful awful awful vintage 90 that was thrown out halfway thru.

.. For some reason Rocky has not been in my humidor for a while. Perhaps I've smoked so many that I wanted to search out other makers to see what else is out there. I by no means plan on giving up on Rocky as his cigars have given me so much over the years.
I've seen a bunch of sticks mentioned that I've been looking at this is a good thread, my first purchase was a Gurka sampler and there were a few I hated but can't remember the names. But that was before I learned about resting them so who knows. I didn't like the Decade or Ruination until they had a few weeks in the humi.
my girlfriend also said it smelled like a cigarette when I was smoking it
That's about the harshest criticism I can possibly think of. Officially off my list of stuff to try. Just too much good stuff out there to bother.
Nah, I'd say still try it out for yourself. There's plenty of sticks listed on this thread that I like (some a lot). You never know until you try yourself. I've never had a Daytona but have one in the humi I'm still looking forward to trying out. Now if I hate it I'll be revisiting this thread for sure!
Gurkha Sherpa. Give them about six months to rest. There will be A definite improvement in overall taste.
LOL, I think that's the only stick I've ever put on this thread. I revisited it probably after a year or more of rest (had a couple in the bottom of the humi) and it was a drastic difference in flavor. Nothing award winning, but a pleasant yard-gar for sure.
I would say the Gurkha Crest, but I already described it as being a cross between the smell of dead bodies and South Korean rice paddies, with a metallic aftertaste like biting into a piece of foil.
I've tossed very few sticks... Nub Cameroon, Emilio suave, and a CAO but I can't remember which one. Otherwise...not too many have been that bad, but I've had plenty I didn't like.
