Rocky Patel Decade Torpedo

Rocky Patel Decade Torpedo
This smoke was very balanced, and the wrapper was nice and oily.  It was an outstanding smoke from the first light to the nub.  This stick was rich and creamy, and consisted of, in my opinion, mainly a nuttiness.  The wrapper had a very interesting taste as well, something different than I have tasted on a wrapper before, including other Sumatra wrappers.

First off, I'm sorry that I didn't get the chance to take a photo of this cigar myself while I was smoking it.
This cigar is one of my favorites and is also one of my favorite cigar shapes which is the perfecto.  Right off the bat, this cigar has a wealth of flavor that envelops the palate and fills the air with a very pleasing aroma.   This smoke was very complex and became fuller as I progressed through to the nub.  Some of the initial tasting notes were coffee and a nuttiness.  As the smoke went on, I began tasting some earthy notes, wood, and cocoa.  The smoke finished off with an earthiness and some spice.
Overall, I absolutely love this cigar.
