Rocky Patel Cuban Blend Toro

Pretty good cigar. I'm not a smoker of big cigars (I usually smoke Backwoods) but for an occasion they are always nice. Anyways, beautiful construction and appearance. Very pleasant aroma when you first open it up. Easy to light, and pretty constant burn. So I lit it up and it tasted great. Tasted great until about 3/4 of the way through. At that point it developed a somewhat bitter taste to it. It also had a kind of wobbly burn to it. Other than that, very good cigar. Would recommend to many.

This cigar had great, complex flavor. It looks really nice and I didnt have any problems with the construction. Nice smooth draw, nice smoke....strong cigar with a kick to it. definitely worth your attention.

Rick aromatic,well constructed consistent blend and burn.

I really enjoyed this cigar. It came in a sampler pack. Excellent taste and flavor! An all around cigar that will be stocked in my humidor.

Excellent blend Rocky! excellent!!

Rocky's got a winner here. A rich full bodied smoke that gets better the longer you smoke it. Typical RP excellent construction. Age it about a month in the humidor to really enhance the flavor.....ENJOY

If you like GC Serie R or Bolivar Confradia (when they're constructed well), you'll like RP Cuban Blend. Goes well with a strong cup of coffee or a nice, peaty scotch.

I HAVE DONE ALMOST ALL OF THE RP LINE. THIS ONE IS A KEEPER. BOTH THE NATURAL & MADURO WERE VERY GOOD. THE NATURAL WAS A LITTLE BETTER ALTHOUGH MY PREFERENCE IS MADURO CIGARS. THEY NEED TO SCHOOL UP ON THE MADURO LINES THEY HAVE AND IT COULD BE BETTER.

Please have auctions with a lot of 1 box on this brand. Cuban Blend Toro (Maduro)

I was just reading some of the reviews. One of the things I like about Famous is that they will post even the negative reviews ... that's taking a risk for them ... but for me, it adds to their credibility and makes me more likely to use them ... when you have a cigar that has had some mixed reviews on this site, I may be more willing to take a risk myself, knowing that taste in cigars can vary from person to person ... for instance, I have yet to find a "Gurkha" that I really like. Having said the above, I wonder if the negative reviews of the RP Cuban Blend came from a bad batch or incorrectly stored cigars, because the ones that I have had from samplers, I have really liked, so much that the current sale has me really chomping at the bit ... but financially right now, I just can't swing even the sale price of 80 bucks for the toros. Fifty, I could do ... but right now 80 is out of sight. But if my financial situation were different (significant increase in income, lottery, windfall,etc.), there would be no question, I'd go for it. As for why they are called Cuban, I don't know, but a German friend of a friend gave me a Romeo y Julieta corona from Cuba this summer and I really enjoyed it. Within a week I had two cigars that reminded me of that flavor which I have struggled to describe. One was a Rocky Patel Cuban Blend toro. So maybe it's the flavor (as well as construction/appearance) that they are shooting for ... no matter what country the individual component tobaccos are from. Anyway, that's my take. I really like them (properly stored and humidified).

An excellent smoke. In my opinion the best of Rocky Patel. Smooth draw great flavor. What more could you ask for

From the start the wrapper is eye candy! Just oozing with oils. Strong pepper up front (maybe thats the bitterness some other reviews suggested) but then smoothed out. Lots of espresso and chocolate. Thick clouds of smoke and a good draw. The only problem was the uneven burn.My guess is that "Cuban Blend" comes from the way the power of this smoke sneaks up on you. You feel it in the belly, a trait I noticed from Cubans I have smoked. Having smoked several in both Corojo and Maduro for some reason the construction seems a little off in the Maduro. All in all a very smooth powerful smoke.
