Rocky Patel 1961

RP's new release is called 1961, has anyone had this yet?? Medium to Full bodied smoke w/ Habano wrapper, Honduran binder and Nicaragua fillers. I think it's from his new factory also.

I haven't heard of it but it sounds good! I just really like cigar pictures and descriptions.

I second this... It was "blah"...

I thought it was a really good smoke. Not the absolute best RP, but it was still very satisfying.

Forget waiting! I've just decided that I'm smoking this tonight!

It isn't bad, but the problem is, in my opinion, 2009 is a great year for new cigar releases, and it doesn't really stand up to the competition. It's certainly better then the Autumn, but not as good as the Patel Bros.

I definately agree its not as good as the Patel Bros, IMO that is tied with the Decade for RP's best stick.

This CAO Brazalia I'm smoking right now is a lot better. So is the Alec Bradley Tempus. Maybe I had too high hopes for the 1961, but I was disappointed.

alienmisprint · 2009 02

See, it just goes to show everyone has different tastes. I think the CAO Brazilia is the absolute worst cigar CAO offers. But yeah, the Tempus is better.

I too am not a fan of the Brazilia. I do love the "X" line though. They are among my favorites.

Have you tried the Tempus Masgistri?

Not yet! So many cigars, so little time.

Oh yeah, the MX2 and CX2 are both excellent cigars, one of my favorite maduros and my ansolute favorite cammy. And I do see the appeal of the LX2, its just a little too peppery for me.

I just smoked one of these. It was pretty good, but not great. Nice and spicy for the first half inch, and last half inch, but the middle was just ok.

Yeah, I like the Patel Brothers alot more than the 1961.
