Rocky Patel Sungrown

I’ve been aging these for about 5 months now, and thought it was time to light one up. I consider it a medium body cigar. The wrapper was shiny/oily and well constructed. It’s just a nice looking stogie. The burn was perfect with a firm ash. The draw was perfect, and smoke was plentiful.
Again… I am no expert. I recall notes of spice as the main theme of the smoke. Towards the end of the final 3rd, the flavor profile changed. To what I’m not exactly sure. Possibly wood with a good tobacco flavor. Luckily I have a box of these as a gift. I’ll reach for this smoke again.
For the record, RP’s are my go to smokes when I can’t decide. The Vintage line and Fusion have yet to let me down. The Sungrown is perfect for a medium spicy smoke.

Always holds a great ash. If your looking to to spend good money and push your mild taste buds to medium this one has just enough complex pepper flavors to hone your skills.
