The Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Broadleaf has quickly become one of my favourites for a shorter smoke. It lasts me about 25-30 minutes, and every time I light one up it feels like I’ve carved out half an hour of pure peace from the world. The flavour is rich and smooth, with that trademark broadleaf sweetness and depth that makes it stand out from a lot of other cigars in this size. I use a V-cut, and it works perfectly, giving me an easy draw the whole way through.
I’ve found that a bit of dry boxing (about 8 hours outside the humidor) really brings out the flavours and keeps the burn cooler. Straight out of my 69% humidor, it tended to run a little hot and even burnt my lips once, so the dry boxing makes a huge difference for me personally. For me, this cigar isn’t just a smoke, it’s a proper little ritual. When I’m standing there with it, the half-hour just feels like heaven.
If you’re after a short smoke that still feels like something special, this one’s tough to beat. And a great price too.

Romeo y Julieta No. 2 Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by Richard
A lovely cigar, and one of my favorites, smooth and fully of flavor, and not over powering. However a very tight draw, which tends to reduce the enjoyment

I found this a nice mild to medium smoke. Quite peppery on initial lighting but it soon settled into cedar with a little spice.
The draw was quite open via the V-cut and the cap split very slightly on cutting, but never moved after that. It produced plenty of smoke and held a good 3cm of ash.
The burn was even and consistently flawless requiring no touch-ups or relighting. The wrapper lifter slightly on removing the band, but nothing that affected the smoking.
I'll restock this to keep a couple in the humidor.

Felt another review was worthy as the one I have just smoked with a punch cut was delicious. Almost bready, light to medium smoke (prob due to punch cut). Fantastic construction and burn spot on

Rocky Patel Sixty Toro Cigar - 1 Single
by Darren
Had this sat in my humidor for quite sometime, and eventually got around to smoking it with high expectations as my last Rocky Patel the edge was wonderful, but sadly this cigar was very tight, could not get a good draw, tried to loosen it up but the the outer wrapper just cracked away. Cannot recommended.

For a sub £20 cigar, this is fantastic. A bit tight on the draw (which doesn't bother me, but I could see it bothering others) but otherwise well constructed. Wrapper in particular seems very robust.
Taste wise you're looking at medium+ with dark chocolate and some leather. Deceptively smooth. If you like a stronger cigar but aren't a fan of pepper notes you'd like this.
Forgot to time the session, but 40\45 mins seems right.
Will buy again
