Although I'm not generally an AF fan, this cigar is considerably better than the other 2 IMO. If you want to try one let me know.
The King B is just a great cigar. The Opus X's are Rosados also, and their legend is spread far and wide.

I bought a box of the Partagas Spanish Rosado when they first debuted and was so unimpressed that I gave it away. I'm glad they've improved.

Likewise I bought a box 2-3 years ago and thought they were okay, but not overly impressive. Gave away a bunch, but buried a handful in the bottom of the catch-all humidor. I accidentally dug one up a month or so ago and figured I'd give it a whirl. While I'm not running out to buy more, it wasn't really a bad cigar. Age may have helped it a bit.

Haven't had the Rocky, but I'd also rank the King B ahead of the Partagas by a wide margin.

Another decent rosado is the Hoyo de Tradicion. It's wrapped in a Honduran viso-rosado wrapper. Not something to jump for joy at, but a solid cigar.
