Rocky Patel has become one of my favorite cigar producers. I have only found one cigar that comes from Patel (Vigilante which I'll review at some point) that I didn't like. The RP Sun Grown is one of those that you are guaranteed to love.
I picked up the Torpedo 6 x 52. It has a chocolate brown oily wrapper that stands in perfect contrast to the bright red double bands that label it. The draw and burn were impeccable and it left a firm white ash. Initially the flavors were earthy, with nutty notes and a sweet after taste. It soon became quite bold with a mild spice about 1/3 of the way in. I was surprised to find that for the last inch and a half it changed again to become woody with a hint pepper. The aroma was full and rich. It was so nice I caught myself slowly releasing the smoke so I could enjoy it as it passed my nose.
This cigar was a real treat and one of the highlights of Rocky Patel's line.
