Had three cigars you’ve all seen me smoking before on the porch yesterday that I didn’t bother posting. Having Rocky Patel Sun Grown Robusto, 5.5" x 50.

How do you like the Rocky Patel sun grown ? I got them in samplers before and like them quite a lot. Given these budget cigars is said to offer a punch much higher than the price point I ordered a 10 pack, but yet to smoke one.

Being price conscious I always love a good value 😀

I loved the pungent aroma more than how it tasted, but I would give it another try.

Yes, a good value is always appreciated. In the warm weather, when I sit outside, I sometimes smoke a Churchill in a two or two and a half hour period, and might end up having three or four over an afternoon/evening—I can’t do that with an Ashton VSG.

Wish I had taken a picture, but didn't. I was looking for a good stick for cheap, usually a hard search. When it comes to cigars, for me darker is better. My tobacconist suggested the Flor de Oliva Maduro. It was love at first puff

When I was a new cigar smoker, I got turned on to Flor de Oliva bundles, and I smoked through my share of the Corojo bundles. Never did try the maduro version. Does the maduro have a sweet tip like the original Sumatra version?

I don’t remember any flavouring on the tip, and I should have tasted one if there was, as I used a punch cutter
