This stick was also my first foray into the Rocky Patel brand (though I've been eyeing them with curiosity for some time.) So, what did I think of this stick? I thought it was fantastic! It was very smooth, very creamy, very buttery. It had great draw, and a nice thick cloud of smoke! It was never overpowering, but it was no slouch either. And it wasn't one-dimensional (then again, one dimensional isn't necessarily bad, so long as it's a good dimension.) I didn't want to put it out. As I find occasion in the future to spend this kind of money on a single stick, I think I will go on to try the rest of the Rocky Patel line (1990, 1992, and Decade, at least) I also know that Patel makes a line called "The Edge" which is more in the LTD 10th Anniversary / La Traviata price range, so I may have to give that a whirl too. I guess I can't really add to or take away from Walt's review of this stick. It sums it up really nice. I will definitely desire to smoke another one of these at some point in the future, Lord Willing. Nice review, Walt! I tried this stick tonight for the first time.

I agree with your "toasty and buttery" analogy. I don't go much farther than that when It comes to my unsophisicated palate. To me, a cigar is either mild, medium or full(robust) and either smooth or spicy. I can actually distinguish toasty and buttery, or creamy, but not much more than that. When cigars are described as being "earthy yet humourous in their complexity" I can only figure that the reviewer just wants to hear himself review. YOu did a good review, and thumbs up on a great cigar! I sell these cigars and have grown to favor the Rocky Patel line over most others. I agree with your “toasty and buttery” analogy.
