Rocky Patel vintage 1990 torpedo
Was wandering through Covent Garden, popped in Seegar & Snuff, couldn't resist a splurge on some sticks, bought 3 of the RP's. Couldn't resist the very dark oily looking wrapper, and a strong recommendation from the propietor of Seegar & Snuff.
I also got some CC's I hadn't tried before (Monte Regatta Open among them, apparently a great 30min smoke)
Smoked one of the RP's on the deck of the Thames Clipper on the way home (don't know if you're allowed but it was so quiet don't think anyone cared!)
Great stick, smooth, tons of flavour but not overpowering, still going strong less than a 3rd through by the time we got to Greenwich Pier.
I had to delay my journey home so I could enjoy the remainder, had a wander round the open air market whilst slowly finishing the stogie (How uncouth am I, Zino would turn in his grave) carefully hiding in doorways to avoid the persistent rain showers.
The RP 1990 has very consistent flavour all the way to the nub, sweet dark choc, kind of sweet vanilla/caramel flavour with tons o smoke.
Very good construction, good burn (even, no touch ups, even on the deck of a boat!)
I'll definitely ask a pal who coming back from the U.S to bring me back a box under his hat.
Here ?10-12 a stick, ?215 box o 20
There $170 box o 20
Really enjoyed this, anyone got an Amazon like suggestion of
"People who enjoyed this also bought" for similar smokes?

I poisoned the Thames with half of one of these. By far and away the worst cigar I have ever smoked. Out of interest, who suggested it was great? I've not heard a good word said about the Open range of cigars - the occasional 'less bad' word, but never good...
