So what do I start with
first price or taste?
The average price of the
Rosado is $90.00 (the low end of the price spectrum). I find this is
absolutely ridiculous for this particular Rocky Patel offering. On
sale for around $60.00 or less grab them up, not on sale go to a
store and buy one. They are a nice cigar, well constructed and worthy
of a try and the branding of Rocky Patel means quality, that being
said, they are really nothing to write home about. They are pleasant
to smoke with over a 90 rating, but for all the meticulous work and
aging of the leaf that goes into this cigar it is merely ok for me.
It smokes fine with a
nice aroma and a mild hint of spice with a leathery undertone. The
ash is nice and solid with no flaking and it burns nice and even, I
have nothing bad to say about this cigar except for the price and the
rating it has been given by the cigar community a 90+ rating? Hell
no, it’s more “Cover Band” than “RockStar” I would say for
this particular Rocky Patel that a 60+ is good a 75 to 80 rating is
pushing it.
Just because you put a
prom dress on a pig, it does not make her the prom queen, it’s not
a complaint about the cigar just the rating and price.
I would rate this one a 9
out of 10 on construction, but over all 5 out of 10 for this cigar.
It is good, but it’s
not knock your socks off and hop into bed with.
