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.

I recently purchased the Robert Lewis sampler pack and this is the first one I've tried. Given this smoke I can't wait to try the rest from the range. It's a very smooth and cool smoke with a subtle sweetness. It also has a great aroma.

These are are mild enough and not unpleasant, but for me the filter really takes away from the experience. Like with other filtered cigarillos, you lose a lot of the flavour and body that makes cigars enjoyable, so they end up tasting closer to cigarettes. They do have a couple of positives, they come well presented, they’re consistent, and because they’re filtered and tightly packed, they keep for ages without needing a humidor.
They’re useful to have tucked away for convenience, but personally I find them a bit flat. If you just want something mild and easy with no upkeep, they’ll do the job. But if you actually want that fuller cigar taste, I’d say skip the filters altogether.

My first Romeo y Julieta. It was a pleasant smoke although muted by being slightly over humidified, due to the amount of rain we have had recently.
It was extremely smooth from start to finish with a savoury roasted nut flavour and occasional background sweetness. I will have to order another and make sure to dry box it next time!

Nice steady smoke, light to medium taste and a bit peppery. Held ash well and remained lit. 45 minute smoke. Not the worst not the best but would buy again

The Rocky Patel Seed to Smoke Shade Toro is a big cigar that lasted me well over an hour. Smooth and creamy thanks to the shade wrapper, with an even burn and easy draw the whole way through. It feels like a high quality stick but still offers great value for money, making it a solid choice when you’ve got the time to sit back and enjoy.
