What's your favorite Rocky Patel?

I am always looking for something new to try and I am a fan of Rocky's cigars, so I figured that I would ask the jungle... What is your favorite Rocky Patel?



I have been enjoying the Decade lately and the Edge line was a "go to" for me for a while...

I love the OWR, but B&M stopped carrying them so I had to look for something else. They had become my cheap replacement for the PAM's (if that is even possible). Now I have been enjoying the Decade Torps. I know, too much CA hype, but I like what I like, and those are tasty smokes.
 
I'm a cheap smoker and have had a bunch of RPs over the years. I haven't smoked anything newer than OWR ... but have had the edges, vintages, SG, ITs, and a few other lines.

Currently, my favorite is the Fire corojo lancero. They burn great, nice draw, and good taste .. a cigar I can relax with and not worry about babying the burn. Under 2 bucks delivered by the bundle. Ones I just bought from famous were dated 05; I think they stopped making these. The fire maduro robustos are nice as well but I prefer the corojos.

edit for english
 
Close competition, but I'd say:

Vintage 90
Edge Corojo
Sungrown

in that order. I have one OWR maduro & a Decade resting now, probably break those out to try sometime later this summer. My local B&M has a proprietary RP blend called Shockoe Valley (both a Dominican and a Honduran variety.) I'm interested in trying these, but I think they only sell them by the box. I'm not that interested in trying them....
 
I'd have to say the Sun Growns. All vitola's are very consistent and I know I'll be getting a good smoke when I light up one of them.:ss
 
Sungrown
Connecticut
IT Super Fuerte Maduro
REO
Fusion MM

I like most of Rocky's blends, but like a lot of cigars, not at MSRP.
 
My favorites are the Vintage 1990 and the Edge maduro. The Sun Grown is also a very tasty cigar. The Old World Reserve is a good stick, but I find it overpriced compared to some other things in the line, which in my opinion are as good or better.
 
Definitely the Edge Sumatra if you can find them. They are not being made anymore and apparently is going to be made a nd sold for JR Cigars. A shop in my area sells the sumatra 3 for 15 while supplies last that is
 
I like the Sungrown and OWR. I haven't tried the OWR maduro, but I'm on the lookout. I have a couple vin 90 & 92's resting that I haven't tried yet.
