I am new to cigar smoking so I?ll describe best I can. I smoked this in my back garden lounging on my patio watching an episode of Star Trek Discovery (not even a Trek fan) and the beauty of a cigar really hit home. An hour or so relaxing with my wife enjoying what I thought was a great cigar whilst watching a programme I didn?t have to think about. Right from the virgin pull this cigar was full of flavour. The 1st third tasted like chocolate which made me anticipating a mint flavour to come through, it didn?t but made the cigar interesting. Into the 2nd third the chocolate remains with what I think is the pepper note getting stronger. Maybe woody and stronger pepper taste coming through into the last third. All through I was loving every single pull. Burn was even, the ash didn?t want to fall off, great! I think. A very memorable smoke, relaxed, not thinking of anything but the experience drinking a medium strength coffee. I personally can?t recommend this cigar enough. If you are new to premium cigars give this one a go, you won?t be disappointed. I didn?t want it to end.

First off must say I was impressed with the look, feel and overall construction of this stick. Gave it a v-cut and tried the old cold draw, still can?t tease out flavour notes but it was quite pleasant, lol. The draw was easy throughout and the burn was razor sharp. Didn?t have a problem removing both bands and smoked right down to the nub, which is rare for me. Paired it with the Balvenie Caribbean Cask which went well. Definitely will be adding these to my collection.

Received this as part of a gift alongside an Inka Red and a Mitchellero. This cigar in particular caught my attention and will be bought again in future, likely with every order. Not expensive but smokes beautifully. Good amount of smoke on each draw, sweet honey notes complimented with spice/pepper throughout. Definitely a new favourite

My first Rocky Patel cigar, bought to try after the guys had on the first episode of the podcast, and wow what a great smoke. Very well made and a delicious flavour, and amazing price! Will definitely be stocking up on a few of these for the humidor.

I had the pleasure of smoking my first Rocky Patel Orchant Seleccion Petit Robusto yesterday during my latest visit to St James's (02/05/24'). To my taste, this is an excellent cigar that burns beautifully, produces lovely white smoke and offers a smooth and pleasurable smoke. The tie up with Rocky Patel is an absolute yes for me being a huge fan of his cigars and the Orchant Seleccion range. I would class this as a perfect 'go to' cigar earlier in the day with a nice double expresso - its production thanks to Mitchell Orchant's amazing palate has produced a fine balance of flavour with the blending of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobacco . Lighter than I would normally smoke, this lovely cigar did not disappoint - I left with a box of 10 and now I'm just waiting for the sun to come out! :)

Not overly impressed with these . Definitely far from a masterpiece. A acceptable smoke. I would say they were pretty much identical to the Orchant Mitchelero but with a bit more pepper. I very much doubt Rocky Patel would smoke these. The Mitchelero is much better value at half the price of these.
