Cigar Reviewed: Rocky Patel Decade

Smoked at: Vancouver, WA

First time trying the Rocky Patel Decade cigar. Back in 2008 the Decade Torpedo received a 92 point rating from Cigar Aficionado and was one of their top 25 cigars that year. The Decade Robusto(which is what I’m smoking) received a 93 point rating that same year. My two cents on this cigar is that it was great. It’s a box-pressed cigar that has a very nice draw. It features a dark Sumatra wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and Honduran filler. This cigar has rich notes of leather, nutty, woodsy, and smooth complex aroma. It’s well balanced and very enjoyable.
