It's the Rocky Thread!!
This guy is one of my tip top favorite cigar makers and i just met him last weekend at an event here in Fresno. Awesome down to earth guy! Review your Rocky's...
I had a crap ass day at work so i just sparked up a RP Fusion Robusto. The have been in the humi for a while. This cigar is a smoke bomb!! Loads of rich creamy smoke with every puff. The draw is very easy and burn is beautifully even. A very cool smoke all the way down, never got hot. Has a nice slight sweetness combined with a very good and pronunced earth taste supported by nice hints of cocoa and leather. I think this is a mild m/medium cigar, slightly to the mild side. Doesnt have a strong punch to it but it is very smooth smoke. Just noticed lots of cocoa in the aroma too.
I have a few Fusion Double Maduros in the humi, cant wait to try them. Anyone tried the Decade or the Old World Maduro?
If any passes come my way i'll be throwing one of these in for sure, ya'll gotta try these!

RP puts out a fer good smokes. I have to say that the nording is one of my favorites.
I have a few Decades resting. I'll be getting around to one sometime soon.
that price is all taxes.
like i said before, i think that i like honduran tobacco more than nicaraguan, therefore i tend buy cigars that have that profile (gurkha) where RP tends to go more for nicaraguan tobacco. something doesnt sit right with me and most nicaraguan tobacco.
i liked that but not enough to buy em all the time.
I just went to the 10th Anniversary of a cigar shop here in Atlanta and was able to meet Mr. Patel. He is a very nice guy and down to earth. He even gave me a Rocky Patel magazine and autographed it for me and also gave me a Rocky Patel Renaissance (new cigar released in Sept. 2008) box, which is really cool. It is a gorgous box. I also decided to try the new cigar. The cigar is great. Very even burn, light to medium gray ash, medium bodied, spicey with a medium finish. I loved this cigar. I smoked it all the way down to the nub. If you have a chance to get one, I highly recommend it. They only make 6,000 boxes of this cigar a year. (120,000 cigars)
