I received one of these as a gift and was pretty disappointed.
I was keen to try some non-Cubans and this seemed to fit the bill.
Construction was pretty average with a fairly loose draw. Flavour was okay, a bit bland but not offensive. It took a lot of maintenance to keep it going with re-lighting required if you did not keep drawing very quickly.
In summary, a distinctly below average smoke which I would not purchase again.

Though a relative noob, I've tried my fair share of both Cuban & non-Cuban offerings and I have to say this is right up there with the nicest I have had.
The construction is first class - on a par with a more expensive Cuban and the wrapper adds to the classy, expensive feel (if that's your thing). As per the description the taste is quite spicy, but never over-powering, leaving a lasting finish.
As others have already said it is difficult to put this cigar down and I too continued to smoke well after the band, so tasty is this cigar!
Overall a very good cigar that I would heartily recommend. Will definitely to trying more Rocky Patel's in the future, though more likely it will be a box of 10 of these...

Had my 1st one of these yesterday in the Cambridge shop, just what I needed after a ''flat out'' day.
a very restful smoke, the taste was just right, not to strong or to week.
smoked beautifully from start to end. try one I will be having more of these wonderful smokes.

No complaints on this stick. RJ are one of my favourite Cubans totally consistent, great draw lovely creamy flavours, slight woody tastes on the second third, great after dinner stick. I sat in the garden with my kindle and a rum, only complaint was the weather. 5/5.

This is one of my favourite little sticks. A very neatly constructed, nice smelling cigar (ceder and mild tobacco). Not a hugely extensive flavour profile. But the mild/medium smoke carries woody and sweet tobacco notes. Short finish but this is all you need in a little smoke. The best thing about these though is that they are so so consistant - Burn, timing, flavour, construction - once you have had a couple you know exactly what your getting. Excellent small sticks.

Lovely creamy taste throughout, great mild smoke perfect for a 20 minute coffee break, great draw and nice even burn throughout. All together a great little smoke when time is an issue
