15 Things Better Than An Ugly Tie: Rocky Patel Cigars
I don’t know if it’s fair to consider me a cigar connoisseur. I think I’m probably more of a fanatic based on my electronically regulated, temperature controlled, hand built humidor and the fact that I will gladly drive an hour and a half round trip to buy a single cigar. I might as well just make my appointment with an oncologist now, because I will eventually make John McCain’s melanoma look like a pebble. I realize not everyone in the world is as enthusiastic about cigars as I am, but there comes a point and time in every Man’s life when they need a GOOD cigar. Long gone are the days of the Dutch Masters from CVS. For those of us finding ourselves a little more grown up with a little more disposable income (unless of course you invested in the market), it’s time to move up to a premium smoke. Enter Rocky Patel.
As a native of India, “Rocky” (as they call him) is a bit of an iconoclast in the world of cigars bringing to the precipice not only good smokes, but good aged smokes. I’m not so sure that I am a believer that age makes a difference in everything. I was skeptical about this novelty being brought to the world of cigars until I smoked one with Rocky himself and saw the light. They are perfectly balanced, smooth as they are strong, and won’t leave your mouth tasting like the floor of a Denny’s.
The attached sampler is a steal for $60. It combines two of my favorite cigars in the world: Vintage 1990 and 1992s. Yes, they are 16 and 18 years old. In addition there are Vintage 1999s (not as good, but worth smoking), Sungrowns (great for a day on the course), and Edge Lights (so light you can smoke them for breakfast). No man should leave this earth without putting a 1992 to their lips for a long draw. To make your cigar experience even better smoke one while watching a Good Movie.
Be A Man.
