Recommend me a Patel

JJG · 12-10-2009, 08:16 PM

Hey guys, I've been in the mood to try new stuff lately and I'm clueless about Rocky Patel. I know he has a ton of different lines and my neighborhood B&M seems to carry most of them. I smoked an Edge years ago that was decent, but my tastes have changed quite bit since then.

I like smooth but full flavored natural wrapper cigars. Salty, leathery, not a lot of sweetness. Cuban Bolivar and Partagas are my go-to smokes but I also like full flavored Dominicans like LFD and Opus X. Super spicy, nose-burning Nicaraguans are my pet peeve. If it burns my face off, it's not a premium cigar in my opinion.

so, that being said, what should I try? Price isn't an issue since I only plan to buy 2 or 3. Like I said, my local shop seems to have a big selection of RPs but if you recommend something super rare or discontinued I probably won't take the time to search it down.

thanks in advance!

RP Sumatra if you can find them...great smoke. But the Renaisance is also a tasty stick.

I like the RP Decade and the Patel Brothers.

I like the sophisticated Patel.

I first got introduced through his Vintage '92 and Vintage '90 lines. Both are still very good to me.

Sometimes only the Approachable Patel will suffice....

Asking Bobby to recommend a Rocky Patel is like asking an Irishman to recommend an alcoholic beverage.
