The Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve was the company’s first foray into the world of super-premium cigars. Available in a rich maduro or a spicy corojo, Patel aimed to blend the smooth flavor of his Vintage series with the power of the Edge line. Originally labeled “Master Blend 7XX,” the Olde World was first introduced at the RTDA show (now IPCPR) in 2005, but wasn’t released until the next year after being reintroduced at the 2006 RTDA show. Originally they were only available in boxes of 25, but now are available in boxes of 50. Today we’re looking at the Corojo blend.

As a matter of opinion, I want to talk about the 2008 Presidential Election. I’m going to tell you who I’m voting for and what I believe in. If you don’t like political talk, go ahead and scan down the page. Okay, so, I am going to write-in Mrs. T’s Potato & American Cheese Pierogies. These magical pasta shells stuffed with whipped potatoes and American cheese have never let me down. They don’t impede my economic, social, or religious beliefs. To cook these pierogies in olive oil and sauteed onions is something that gives me hope that this wonderful nation will carry on. Okay, sorry for forcing my political opinion on you. On with the mission!

Among the cigars that I ordered from the USA, this Rocky Patel Decade Lonsdale does really stand out. As the name suggests, it was created to celebrate 10 years of the Rocky Patel blend. Unlike the Vintage 1990, I totally enjoyed the smoke and can highly recommend it to amateurs of powerful, flavorful and smooth cigars.

I had never had a Rocky Patel cigar before and was interested in trying one. The description of it included a dark wrapper with flavors of coffee and mocha. In fact Rocky Patel says that the wrapper is “gently infused” with Java. I prefer maduro cigars so I thought I’d try one.

It is close to impossible to get Rocky Patel cigars in Europe, but fortunately my friends from the US sometimes bring me some interesting specimens. The Vintage 1990 line is getting a lot of coverage online and I was anxious to try it out.
