When my wife bought me a ticket to a Rocky Patel event, I was more than ready to explore within a familiar brand. Nevertheless, it turns me off, and I don't revisit. It may simply be how the individual cigar was stored or how old it is. It also leaves the underside of my tongue strained. The experience is disappointing for the lack of that desired ‘cloud of smoke’.
But after laying down $15 for a cigar from a well reputed brand, I'm often dismayed to get one that has a hard draw. Yes, I've still done it a number of times. I made sure to bring a box of Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary along for the trip.īecause I'm so finicky about having that easy draw, I don't normally like to experiment with unknown cigars. I recently went to Las Vegas, where my wife and I stayed at the Palazzo. And the people there are sure to tell me when they've got them. The Lit Lounge routinely keeps these cigars in stock, in large part because I buy so many. One of the things I enjoy about cigar events held at the Lit Lounge, Snoqualmie Casino, is the opportunity to broaden my range of favorite cigars.įor over a year now, I've chosen the Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary, which is full bodied and easy on the draw.
