Rocky Patel Royale
Repeat review, nothing complex but a simple cigar. Flavor notes bring mostly nuttiness with a hint of something sweet. The draw is easy but the burn needed a couple corrections. Just a slight wood tone shows up on the back end.

Rocky Patel Royale
Another bad experience with this one. 👎 Early discard, and I'm throwing away the rest of the batch. No more of these for me.

Rocky Patel Royale
TL;DR - this one was too charry. Early discard with hopes the next one isn't like that. 👎 Aged 9 mos⏳️ Pre-light gives off sweet maduro, red pepper flake, and hints at molasses. Construction and draw are spot on. Light-up is charry, not great. Oak and red pepper develop. Burn was fine through the first half. Early discard for persistent char flavor.

Rocky Patel Royale
Nothing complex, but a fairly smooth cigar. Notes are generally consistent of nutty-like sweetness. Easy draw and decent burn. After 3 months of rest since the last review, a subtle note of wood now comes through.

Nothing complex, but a fairly smooth cigar. Notes are generally consistent of nutty-like sweetness. Easy draw and decent burn. Worth revisiting.

Rocky Patel Broadleaf
This is the broadleaf for people who generally think broadleaf cigars are too strong.

Not much in the way of taste/notes. Decent burn and draw. Good smoke volume. Construction leans to the soft side. Very middle of the road.

Rocky Patel Royale
FWIW, I go back and forth on this brand. His "Cargo" line is an underrated budget cigar, some of his high end offerings have been underwhelming. I do like the Vintage 90s series. Right off the bat, the Ecuadoran Sumatra wrapper tore when I removed the labels. Draw is loose, but smoke volume is good. The box pressed 54 ring gauge is nice, comparable in construction to the Avo Synchro Ritmo which was also a 6x54 box pressed with loose draw. The mildness of the Connecticut shade binder pairs well with the Nicaraguan filler. Gives the cigar a unique depth and complexity. Nice hit of almond sweetness between the first and second thirds. Good burn, ash holds with a minimal flaking, temperature is excellent. This is a medium bodied smoke, although it does get the black pepper finish.
