I just had my first ever Rocky Patel, starting with the Disciple. Today is my birthday and @Ash Cooper got me a selection of cigars - mostly Fuentes (my favorite brand) - but he also nabbed a couple Patels. I figured I should save the ALR for later, after I enjoy the essence of an RP variety.

(The drink is a Rough Rider in a Peugeot chiller glass. That's not the official name but it's what I call them.)

It really is! I had only had the Robusto before but have been getting into more lanceros lately. Always thought the viola seemed femininely skinny. I’ve been doing my self a disservice for a long time!
@AreBee Yea, a lot like bowl sizes and pipe tobacco. Took me a minute to learn that one.
Btw, that’s an awesome ashtray as well!

Very happy with this @ $5.50, shop price of $7+ has me ambivalent.

Looks like Smokingpipes has these discounted. I'll definitely grab a fiver to knock the price down another 5% to $3.92, but I'm not sure I need a box of 50. Maybe..

Almost an hour. .
