Rocky Patel - Vinatage 1990

[vortex]

Not enough smoke and kind of "light" smoke, almost like it was semi-plugged. I hung in there with the cigar and at times it wasn't bad, but never anything to brag about either. When it got down to the label, it started to give me that "bitter" or "sour" taste that I hear about.

Sounds like they keep their walk in at around 70%, like most B&Ms. I rarely smoke a cigar from a B&M (unless it's a Fuente or cammie) without taking it home to settle at 65% so that draw, burn, and flavor are optimal.

For the money, I think the Padron's are much better. Don't get me wrong, I like the RP 1990 and 1992's but I won't pay $8 for one. You can get them for $3-4 if you look around and wait for a deal. For that, they're a great smoke. I just got a 5-pack of 1990 Churchill's for $19.
