2013 Rocky Patel Fusion Toro, with Diet Pepsi, on a summery night complete with bugs.

This should be called the Confusion. Smoking a five pack, three today, one ok, one mediocre and the last, just awful and painful; terrible taste, impossible to smoke, going out on me 4-5 times before I tossed it.

I simply don't get Rocky Patel or his success. I've smoked a lot of them (over time) and they're never better than ok, always inconsistent and absolutely remind me of $2/stick bundle cigars with a lot bigger price tag. Most of mine came from the Devil Sight, perhaps that has something to do with it, but the tobacco is never well aged, the corojo (in the conFusion) a cloying sweet without depth or nuance, and overall I wish I'd never bought any of them. The best has bee a few of the (also inconsistent) Connecticut, but the Pinar del Rio is what that cigar wants to be and it's cheaper (and far more consistent).

You could be correct, but I just remembered AJ doing the Triple A. The only Rocky Patel I've ever tried has been the Java, which was done with Drew Estate. Funny you should mention Pinar Del Rio as that's what I'm smoking now. I always see these as different from PDR. This Oscuro Liga #2 is delicious....

The prelight was a very natural sweet tobacco. I brought the wrong lighter outside and didn't get a good light. So, I puffed like a train and got off to a bad start. When I calmed down and started sipping, it was pretty good. For less than six bucks at a B&M, I'll give one another try, and hopefully treat it better. Spice halfway through on the retro was kicking. Last half was dusty with a coy sweetness.

Maybe I'll give it a try, but the regular one is pretty dang tasty. If you haven't tried one yet, try a Schizo. For a short filler it's a solid smoke for under $3....

Been pushing through these 2009 Fonseca 1907 Toro Naturals. These are the best of the 1907 (after the first box that made me buy all the rest). Just a burn it up cigar, nothing notable about it. Warm, muggy evening, feels like Summer, but what happened to Spring? Water, no ice with Willie & Lobo on Youtube.

Compliments of @Hardheaded I smoked a new one last night and thought no better time to compare the two. A little more smoke production and a lot smoother than the new bands for sure.

Hello Pete,
Have been wondering the same thing, where did Spring go and how did I miss it.
After a couple or three pretty bad days got a chance to enjoy a cigar I'd been eager to smoke, a Viaje Oro Fuerza, courtesy of Merovius.
Despite the mugginess of the afternoon this one was really enjoyed. Along with some iced Coke.
Best wishes for an enjoyable Memorial day weekend.
Bob.

They were reported to be the same blend, one of the two that Camacho retained in their rebranding back in 2013. Perhaps it has the benefit of time. I know I have smoothed with age. ;)

Hi Bob,

Tis Summer all around now, everything in bloom. Nature is amazing.

2009 Royal Jamaican, 7" x 54, with coffee with half and half.

Not sure of this vitola's name and couldn't find being sold anywhere. It would seem that Royal Jamaican went the way of the dodo bird without me knowing. These are from the Hurricane Specials that JR was selling (50 good sticks, no filler, cheap 50-ct humidor for $99).

Cigar was loaded with plume and is smoking to the look, an exceptional stick. Never thought that I'd say that about Royal Jamaican made in the DR. Medium but loaded with flavors, lovely herbal fragrance and top notes and a malty sweetness effortlessly backed by a subtle leather. My best comp would be Miami made La Gloria de Cubana (one of my favorites), but this is better in burn and no construction issues at all. It's likely that this cigar was made in the same plant as the DR incarnation of La Gloria.

Wish I had a 1,000 of these and I like it better than the original Royal Jamaican (from Jamaica).

Best to you and your family for the holiday weekend, thanks.

Pete

Have a great weekend ad holiday everyone.

I've got ribs on the smoker, the whole family is gone, I've got the house to myself. With seven kids, a VERY rare occurrence this is. :yes!: :woohoo: :whoo: :banana:

I'm going to say it now; this is just the first for today.

Hi Pete, Wow that's a great review, of what must be an excellent smoke.
While wishing, put me down for thousand of them too.
I did like the original Royal Jamaican, from Jamaica a lot.
Thanks for your thoughtful wishes and naturally I'm wishing the same for you and yours this weekend.
