The camaro show will become famous soon enough
Default What’s your favorite Alec Bradley and Rocky Patel smokes?

So after meeting an old friend from middle school at my new job and discovering he’s a cigar lover we got to talking about cigars of course during work. A lot of my favorite brands he’s never had much from (Crowned heads, Drew Estate and Tat, while I haven’t had many of his favorite brands (Alec Bradley, AF and RP) so of course we are gonna do some trades and splits but I was wondering what are your guys favorite sticks from these brands? I can remember having The Vandal which I remember as pretty good I can also remember remember the sun grown which I think was eh if I remember right. I really like all AF’s but just a brand I don’t buy much off and then RP last one I had was the sun grown maduro which was really good, I believe I had a 2003 vintage that I don’t remember much of. I recommended him here and he said he signed up but hasn’t posted anything yet.

I don't have much experience with Alec Bradley, Chayse, so can't help you there.

I do have enough experience with RP to say I don't have any favorites, and I wouldn't trade a Crowned Heads or a Tat or a fistful on nickels for one.

Ahh I'd say there are some hit and misses with all of those brands...I'll just write some of what I have liked from those brands...

AF - Don Carlos, Hemmingway, Casa Cuba <--- really good!

RP - Royale <--coffee & cream notes, Decade <---I pick up like a dark cherry note from these sometimes

AB - Prensado <---strong but great, Magic Toast <--dark complex notes, reminds me of some Caldwells I've had before

I've been told that RP doesn't stand up to long term aging btw, but they are pretty good if you are wanting to smoke them relatively soon....hope that helps!!

Well I can tell you what sold very well when I worked at the cigar lounge.
Rocky Patel
Edge Corojo
1990 Vintage
Java Latte
Decade

Alec Bradley
black market
Prensado

But I have never smoked any of them, and I could have smoked them for free

As far as AF back in the late 90's early 2000's the AF brand was my favorite.
Hemingway line and Don Carlos were my favorites!!!

That should be the 1999. not the 1990.
