Room 101 Farce was definitely one of the more unique smokes I’ve had as a beginner. It’s marketed as a complex, medium-to-full-bodied blend, and that complexity really came through. On the first few puffs, I got this interesting mix of earth, pepper, and a subtle sweetness, almost like dried fruit. The flavors shifted quite a bit as it went along, which kept me on my toes. At times, there was cocoa and espresso; other times, more wood and spice. The construction was solid, though I did need one touch-up on the burn. The draw was easy, and the smoke output was thick and satisfying. I can see why people say this cigar has layers—it felt like it kept evolving, which was exciting but also a little challenging for someone new like me. It’s definitely not a one-note cigar, and I think that makes it worth trying if you want to push your palate. The strength built toward the end, with more pepper and richness, but it never got overwhelming. Overall, I enjoyed it, though I’d say it’s better suited for when you’re in the mood to pay attention.

The Rocky Patel Seed to Smoke Classic Toro is a really enjoyable, nice sized cigar that feels top quality from start to finish. It’s well built, burns evenly, and gives off a smooth, balanced flavour that keeps you interested the whole way through. It’s the kind of cigar you can properly relax with, big enough to last a good while without ever feeling heavy or harsh.
For what it costs, it’s excellent value for money and easily stands up to cigars that sell for a lot more. A solid, reliable smoke that shows just how good Rocky Patel’s craftsmanship can be.

I received this as part of my subscription. However, I did not have a good experience with this cigar, I had to relight several times and the draw seemed very tight. I tried a recut half way through but this did little to improve the experience. The subscription is a great way to try cigars that you would not normally try and this is one of those cigars, this one will not make my reorder list.

The Rocky Patel Seed to Smoke Shade Toro has quickly become one of my top picks. It’s a big cigar that lasts well over an hour, and every minute feels worth it. The construction is spot on, even burn, easy draw, and packed with smooth, creamy flavour thanks to the shade wrapper. It never feels harsh, just mellow and relaxing, yet still full of character.
For me, it’s a perfect mix of high quality and great value for money. You get the kind of experience you’d expect from something much pricier, but at a cost that makes it easy to enjoy regularly. I’d happily give this one a 10/10, a proper sit back and unwind cigar when your wife goes out for the night with her friends, that never disappoints.
